What's with this week's hatred against gay people?

This week, three public figures have come out with hateful or stupid remarks against gay people:
1) Michelle Bachmann (see yesterday's blog)
2) Willow Palin - Sarah Palin's daughter 
3) 50 Cent- Homophobic rapper

1) See yesterday's blog. Bachmann and her goofy husband have a "clinic" to "reform gays." Stupid.
2) Willow Palin, daughter of half-term Alaska governor Sarah Palin, responded to criticism of her family’s new reality show on Sunday with two anti-gay slurs on Facebook.  A young man named Tre, who went to school with Willow, wrote: “Sarah Palin’s Alaska, is failing so hard right now” on his own Facebook wall.
Willow Palin responded on her former classmate’s wall by writing: “Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I’ve seen pictures of, your disgusting … My sister had a kid and is still hot.”  Moments later Willow Palin posted another reply which read: “Tre stfu. Your such a faggot.”  STORY: http://www.fenuxe.com/2010/11/17/sarah-palins-daughter-calls-young-man-faggot/
3) 50 Cent, also known as Curtis James Jackson III, has taken his homophobic opinions, usually found on stage and screen, to cyberspace again in a recent tweet. The rapper, actor and Vitamin Water spokesman wrote: “If you a man and your over 25 and you don’t eat pu**y just kill your self damn it. The world will be a better place. Lol.” 50 Cent tweeted the anti-gay remark from his Blackberry using ÜberTwitter on Wednesday 9/29/2010 to his 3.3 million followers.http://www.fenuxe.com/2010/09/30/50-cent-tells-gays-to-commit-suicide/
