I could somewhat excuse the daughter's writing if she's supposed to be an obnoxious progressive NPC who everyone hates, but the concept of "gender fluidity" functionally did not exist prior to maybe 15 years ago tops. It might have been theorized by pedophiles with tenure, but nobody was claiming to be it yet. So even with the most charitable possible interpretation, it's still anachronistic at best.
But the "anti-gay = secretly gay" thing is such an embarrassingly old cliche/cope that I can think of no excuses for it. Even in a parody setting it's hack writing.
She definitely isn't the character everyone hates, she's basically the main character and always ends up being "right", and the white conservative dad is always portrayed as wrong and the bad guy, who must be "secretly gay" for his views.
I mean that entire trope is a gay person's proverbial wet dream, as to the vast majority of them the "unconvertables" are the hardest challenge and therefore have the most sex appeal.
Look at the most popular gay-catered media, and 99% of them have the main love interest as a guy who either isn't gay and doesn't want to be bothered with them and/or is anti-gay and while burning down one of their houses comes to the realization that he could send a "better message" by having sex with one of them. 50 shades of grey wasn't revolutionary, they just stole gay fanfiction and made it more marketable with straight characters.
also the term "homophobe" is unscientific. according to NYT, studies were even done showing that people are not fearful of gays... people are disgusted by gays.
so the scientific term is homovomitus. when someone says "homophobe", correct them and tell them to stop being so anti-science, that even NYT admits it.

Almost like the left is full of sluts with daddy issues (and their simp pets) or something

"str8 guys" are the most popular genre of gay porn by far.
And similarly, the trannys ultimate fantasy is successfully tricking a straight man into fucking them.
