Most gay people who are in the closet are teenagers who are often surrounded by people who disapprove of gay people. They are told that it is a sin at church. They've seen kids who are too effeminate to hide the fact that they are gay be severely bullied by other kids, and even their close friends and family may have made gay jokes or otherwise disparaged gay people. For these reasons, gay teenagers are often terrified that the people they love will no longer care for them if they reveal their orientation.
The truth is that most people are good-hearted and even if they are bigoted towards gay people in general, they will change their views when they find that someone they care about is gay. Unfortunately, gay kids have trouble believing this.
Imagine you've had to hide something about yourself your entire life because you're convinced that the people in your life that you love most will hate you. Every time they make a joke about gay people, you cringe inside and worry more. Plus, you are constantly being forced to make up stories with your straight friends that state how interested you are in a teenager of the opposite sex. This is a huge and destructive secret that hurts gay kids for years.
If you want to alleviate the fear of someone you care about that you believe is gay, you should tell them how much you care about them and tell them that there is nothing that they could say that would make you stop caring about them. You should also treat negative gay remarks the same way you would treat negative remarks about black people or women, and reprimand people who say negative things about gay people so that your loved one knows that you do not share the hate and judgement that they've been hiding from ever since they became sexually aware.

Yes, this has been identified by many psychologists and sexologists as being normal and natural. Often, when people experience feelings for the same sex, they become scared of "turning gay". To attempt to hide or repress these feelings, many repressed homosexuals act homophobic and insult gay people. The thinking behind this is that if they hate gay people, then surely they cannot be gay as well.
Why does the world look down on gay people?
Well, first of all "the world" doesn't look down on gay people -- people do, and not all of them. Most people in most countries don't worry about other people's sexuality. People usually do this because (a) they don't know any gay people, so they're ignorant or scared, or (b) they've been misled by other ignorant or fearful people.
