Oh this dude is definitely gay.

jeffw OP ,

Can we not do the homophobic trope where everyone who hates gay people must be secretly gay?

I wouldn’t call it a homophobic trope, there’s a lot of truth to it. Closeted gay men in these hardcore homophobic communities tend to have massive self loathing issues, and take it out on everyone else.

When it stops being true people will stop mentioning it. Let me know if you need lots of articles about conservative leaders caught in the act.

Look, it's basic psychology. I am straight so for me I don't get the desire to have gay sex. If I disproved of gay sex I still wouldn't want a law against it because I simply don't understand why anyone would want to engage in it. If I were in the closet and didn't approve of it of course I would want a law against it, because I would know how tempting it was. Drug laws do make a bit of sense because all of us have a desire to be free of cold unfeeling existence for a little while. Drugs are naturally tempting, unlike homosexuality which is only tempting to a small fraction of the population.

You need the right combination of wanting something and not approving of what you want. Any other combination is not going to result in that outcome.

The louder the homophobic rant, the deeper in the closet.

I am straight and, therefore, the authority on all things gay. It does not matter that the LGBTQ community has repeatedly condemned this as homophobic, problematic, and untrue. I found an article confirming my preconceived notion, so it must be right!

Nice argument. If you want articles, I’ve already posted them in this comment section.

Might want to look up how quotes work. Nah I don't want your articles. You got an argument, you can make it yourself.....after you learn how quotes work

jeffw OP ,

Weird, you must have edited what you said and replaced everything with synonyms. Oh well, my quote still captures what you meant

afraid_of_zombies ,

No, and it didn't.

jeffw OP ,

Hmm, I keep rereading it and I don’t see any differences
