It's not so much hate as having an enemy to mobilize against and unite
against. Of course, the hate usually but not always goes with it.

The "Negro" has been declared "off limits" as an enemy and object of
hatred, and, besides, people have found ways gradually to defend
themselves against this alleged menace (moving to suburbs, sending
kids to private schools).

Similarly the Jew.

Communists made a pretty good "enemy" and a very real one, having
bombs and rockets. But the air has leaked out of that balloon.

That leaves gays. A secretive, sinister group, having high income and
influence well beyond their numbers in politics, Hollywood, and TV.

The use of Gays as an "enemy" has one big advantage over all other
groups, in that the public can be sold the image of gay as child
molester, so the alleged threat to children can be used as a very
powerful scare tactic.

Fear is the greatest motivator. And fear leads to hatred. Wouldn't you
hate a group that's trying to molest your children?
