In fact, Miller is better than the "insulted and damaged" Andrew.
An important reason is that the writers did not force a character transformation (character arc) in a series of scenes where Miller meets a gay man.
The split, or prismatic, presentation of characters in different scenes and discourses gives the characters depth.
When meeting Andrew for the first time, Miller politely declined.
In the family scene that followed, in a conversation with his gay-tolerant wife, he confided:
He clearly felt the threat of homosexuality to his masculinity, and a high wall had been built in his heart.
Afterwards, his violent reaction when he happened to be approached by a homosexual in the supermarket was different from his excellent defense of homosexuality in court.
The vulgar language he uses at this time is a balance of court language that appeals to the noble side of jurors, and it also makes us more deeply aware of the difficulty of transforming homophobia.
