Anonymity brings out the worst in people. Much of what people express at each other online, safely isolated from any 'real' consequences, are deep seated feelings that are normally kept in check by societal influences. I'll admit I do it, too, though I try to be mindful of it. When we remove the psychological filter of another person's face looking back at us, it's much easier to view the person as inferior and to put them down to bolster ones ego. Sadly, the root cause is usually some festering insecurity that should be dealt with responsibly, by a professional in therapy. In the case of vehement homophobes, there's rather strong anecdotal evidence suggesting they have latent (or not so latent, as in the case of Ted Haggard) homosexual urges with which they are uncomfortable.
