2. I think that's right. Some people are just mean and need someone to look down on.

And it's always the relatively powerless people who can't effectively fight back. Now we have legislatures passing laws that marginalize LGBTQ people, which legitimizes discrimination against them, which in turn gives the haters permission to harm them. Members of racial/ethnic minorities are still victimized but they have more legal and numerical clout than they used to, so the mean people had to find an even less powerful group to pick on. People can really suck sometimes.
