"The parodic replication and resignification of heterosexual constructs within non-heterosexual frames brings into relief the utterly constructed status of the so-called original, but it shows that heterosexuality only constitutes itself as the original through a convincing act of repetition. The more that "act" is exproporiated, the more the heterosexual claim to originality is exposed as illusory."

In a word: homophobia - copycat on copycat violence :)
