I think much of it has to do with the baseline maturity level of internet users - which is greatly influenced by the mean average age and social experience level of internet users (which scales low). Do I think that gamers are largely homophobic? Ehhh... not specifically, but I think that gamers as a population are largely unexperienced youths who are ignorant about what it is like to be an "outsider" member of society. Also, take into consideration the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, which is explodes expotentially in forums and environments where competitiveness and "trash talk" are not discouraged.
