I think it's important to call most of these stories what they are. They're not toxic masculinity, they're homophobia, in the most literal sense of the word.

Edited for clarity

being attracted to a man is obviously a feminine trait. and we hate everything feminine, did i tell you i hate the woman i confessed my love to and have been married to for 30 years?

Yeah well let's be honest a lot of toxic masculinity traits are deeply rooted in homophobia and sexism...

You'd think someone obsessed with masculinity would realize there's nothing manlier than two dudes fucking.

The venn diagram of toxic masculinity and homophobia is pretty much a circle.
