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.
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.
