In a hate crime,Why do some homophobes rape the one thing they hate? (boyfriend, woman)

[L'Artiste]

Why would they commit a sex act with a gay guy if they hate gay guys?

[silverbelles]

Because rape isn't about sex, it's about power.

[Billy_J]

It is like in other relationships where a person can't have another person they want...

The other person will not go out on a date with the first person.
The other person leaves the first person.
The other person divorces the first person.

This can turn into hate toward that person.

I love you, but can't have you, so I hate you! (Is the thinking. Very strong emotions.)

[AnywhereElse]

I'm wondering what you are basing this on, a specific news story? Otherwise, I am confused but agree that rape is an act of violence and not about sex.

a) They're frustrated closeted homosexuals themselves.

b) It's a power/hatred thing. The same reason a man might hate a woman he hates. The rape is an act of hatred, not love. Violence.

[TabulaRasa]

Because it's intended as a physical attack and a violation. Rape is an act of aggression. It has nothing to do with sexuality, the sex act is simply the vehicle for hurting someone.

Also, sometimes the rape act is committed with an object.

There are cases of women who indirectly rape a particular woman they hate by getting a male acquaintance or even their boyfriend to rape this woman. Or else using an object.

There are "men" out there that will even do this for their girlfriends? It makes me wonder why a woman would willingly:

1) put another woman through something so traumatic as a rape.
2) even be with a man who would do this without any qualms.

There are people out there who would do anything.
