As I think I said above, it sounds sweet to say they're really afraid of love, but they're not. As someone else mentioned, often homophobia goes right along with a worship of same-sex love--as long as it's platonic. A real man loves his buddies maybe even more than his wife--and don't anybody dare suggest they're queers.
It's almost just funny at this point because you'd think an author talking about their work would make it more interesting or add more layers. I love listening to commentary tracks on DVDs because they add more to it (granted commentators don't tell you what's supposed to happen to everybody after the movie's over!). But she always seems to make it less for me rather than more.
