Homophobia in the Eye of the Beholder

So this new Snickers AD has just been pulled after outrage that it is homophobic, and on top of that people are saying it also promotes and encourages homophobic violence.

Um, yeah, I guess. But I also feel you yourself have to be homophobic in order to see this AD as homophobic; it's only homophobic with the assumption that the male 'speed walker' is gay, merely because he's speed-walking and gyrating his hips a little while doing so. So I supposed if gay men were the only ones who shook their hips and power-walked this would quite obviously be homophobic!
Mr. T doesn't call him a fag or make any direct reference to his sexuality; just that real men don't power walk.

Who sees a gay speed walker and assumes they have to be gay? I guess the real homophobia is in the eye of the beholder.
