Homosexuality and masculinity have little to do with each other.
Today, hegemonic masculinity is associated with whiteness and heterosexuality.
One psychological explanation for homophobia is that it could stem from learned attitudes and beliefs from family, society, or culture. Additionally, it may be related to fear or discomfort with things that are different or unfamiliar, combined with prejudice and stereotypes. Personal insecurities and a need to conform to social norms could also play a role in the development of homophobia.
