I think that religion is one main factor of Homophobia, as in the bible it says "Man shall not sleep with boy," which actually means, "An adult and kid shouldn't be together." Another large reason, is, people don't like change, and some find the stereotypes people lay out odd, when most aren't true and don't apply to a majority of LGBTQ+. The last reason, is, they're scared of the human race collapsing due to lack of reproduction, which is unlikely, as there are still billions of people on the planet.
I support pride, because, people that are in LGBTQ+ are human as much as we are, and deserve rights. They can't help who they love. They're human beings and should be treated as them. They have done nothing to harm us, so why should we harm them?
The sentence, "Love you ten years before the Flood," directly contains a Biblical Allusion. This was a story about Noah and his ark where God sent a great flood to wipe out the bad deeds of men and clean off Earth of impurities and start anew. In the poem, the writer is trying to show his love for his mistress that is unstoppable and can go to great lengths.
