(14,498 posts)1. I don't think many are shocked.
For the reasons you mention. It's to be expected.
And some people still are *glad* it's homophobic. Confirms and supports their own personal prejudice.
In the same way that apologists for rape, genocide and slavery have found solace and support there over the centuries.

I just don't understand why anybody takes what it says seriously.
