    he doesnt have to be secretly gay. if he wanted to he could be openly gay. im gay and i love it its great i wish more people were gay.

    the joke is that the people who are the biggest most vocal homophobes seem to really often turn out to be closeted gay people hurting other gay people out of shame, guilt, and self hatred. its tragic as fuck, but also those people still spread hate and foment violence against queer people and that makes them horrible pieces of shit. it would be funnier if there werent a real risk they get their way and start locking up queer people for touching each other consensually.

      I get wanting to call the guy a hypocrite if he were actually gay, but he’s not? This is the same really lame take I see about transphobes and how they’re all secretly trans. It just insinuates being trans is an insult and is a cheap “gotcha” for hypocrisy.

      I am trying to understand how yours is any different. You put it right there with child rapist. I guess color me confused.

        its a trend… it keeps happening. if there were transphobes secretly transitioning and being exposed as living as their true gender while working to harm trans people that would be the same, but that isnt happening. these extremely vocal homophobes who call for gay people to be locked up or killed keep getting exposed as closeted gay people when theyre caught fucking gay people, and/or they are exposed as pedophiles when theyre caught raping children.

        it seems like youre operating under the premise that these people arent frequently outed. im not sure why you think that.
