Not excusing anything
A vile crime is a vile crime
Questioning ones sexuality does not necessarily mean they're gay
Straight people do it all the time
It can be quite healthy
But a homophobe who is challenged may act out irrationally
Sometimes violently
The outcome does not indicate if they are gay or straight
In your reply you admit it can happen
