        Claiming that someone’s homophobia is because they are secretly gay is ultimately blaming the gays for said homophobia.

        It’s also entirely possible that someone is just a hateful piece of shit.

          I get what you’re saying.
          But usually it’s really they are a hateful piece of shit because they are secretly gay. The loudest ones tend to be the most secretly what they are yelling about.

          Um, I’d argue that it’s blaming the people that drive others to subvert their own tendencies, e.g. the gay-is-icky crowd of which the Christian national movement is a subset.

          If gay was truly okay, and we didn’t have guys who felt pressured to be alpha masc, then no-one would blink twice when a toddler liked flowers and rainbows.
