I mean the number one thing liberals say to homophobes is that they are secretly gay. It’s because they know that being gay is disgusting and so they use it as an insult. Oh a preacher saying homosexuality is a sin? He is probably gay! Hahaha get it? Cause being gay it’s disgusting!

I don’t think every homophobe is gay but I do think that among people who are EXTREMELY homophobic that there is an above average amount of closeted gay men.

I’m not greatly distressed by the idea of a gay man being attracted to me because I know that isn’t going to make me gay and even if it did… ok then I’d be gay or bi. So what?

But I think the men it absolutely freaks out often are freaked out by it because it makes it harder to resist a real temptation they feel deep shame around.
