It's called xenophobia, which, as the 'phobia' suffix suggests, is an irrational fear and hatred of something or someone. In the case of the KKK it's fear and hatred of strangers, foreigners, or - as you say - those not like themselves.
As with all phobia sufferers, xenophobics are easily frightened by anything relating to their phobia. Many organizations similar to the KKK are led by people who aren't particularly xenophobic at all, but are greedy for power and wealth; this is sometimes achieved by gathering a following which is easily led.
An added inducement for those attracted to the KKK is the 'secret society' aspect, which gives many a feeling of belonging to something special, together with the feeling of superiority which all secret organizations induce in their followers. This appeals hugely to the basic feelings of inferiority which those such as xenophobics work so hard to conceal.
One only has to read some of the claims made by such organizations to see they are carefully-worded in order to attract exactly the type of people who truly want to believe such claims and won't question too closely their veracity, or ask for hard facts and real proof.
You'll find doubters and questioners and those who expect logic and verifiable truth in the information they are given are not welcome in organizations such as the KKK.

∙ 11y agoThere are gay KKK members and pro-gay KKK members, but many of them do in fact disapprove of homosexuality. Some of them think that gay white men/women aren't doing their duty to the white race by not having children, and some of them are just your good old-fashioned bigots, whose homophobia is a part of the culture they are raised on.

Overall, most do, but it depends on the exact local chapter. There is no single organized KKK since any group can call themselves a Klan chapter.

Some chapters hate gays and lesbians and some even have gay members. The same applies to neo-Nazi groups. Some of the skinheads are actually pro-gay. Some chapters of the KKK have even been known to side with local chapters of civil rights groups like the NAACP on issues such as unlawful immigration.
