Has anyone else noticed how many anti-gay homophobes come out of the closet as homosexual a few years later?

Question

ThePragmaticRomantic · Accepted Answer

Have a look into disgust based thinking. The people who spout what they see as the society norm, and rail the most strongly against the outsider, are often doing it because they feel like the outsiders, or recognise an urge to do that thing in themselves. So they signal their compliance with what they see as the norm and overcompensate.

Thats why family values candidates have affairs. Gay rights opponents turn out to be gay. And a lot of the rabis anti-sexism campaigners have turned out to be rapists and sexual assaulters.
Normal healthy people just dont obsess over these issues with that amount of zeal.

I disapprove of the Christianphobic meme.

Actually everyone who expresses a negative opinion about something is not suffering from a phobia. That is just a shame game by the "motivated-by-love" PC thought police.

I was one due to my religion, but I was tired lying to myself. Now that I accepted that I am a lesbian, I am happier and a better person.

They’re in denial. Nature goes against the Bible and they hate that.

There isn't much one can say to answer this question 😅

It happens but they tend to be exceptions. They seem to be more common because they get more publicity in order to shame them but it doesn’t mean they are always homophobic and or in the closet.

ladsin · Answer

I think there's some research on this that showed a correlation

CoffeeWC · Answer

I noticed. It's mostly because more people are comfortable talking about gays and gay rights.

Soteris · Answer

Well of course. I mean it kind of makes sense since gays are probably the only group with a vested interest in gays. I mean even if I was a raging anti homosexual I would not spend my life on it because I got better things to do.

You require quite the justification to double down that hard on such an obscure issue and being gay means you will already have it in the forefront of your thoughts from the beginning.

LegateLanius · Answer

Eh. There are plenty of people that take out their own issues with themselves on other people, especially if they are heavily conflicted with themselves. Not everyone who doesn't like a particular group is in any way part of it, though. It may be the brunt of many jokes, but the fact remains that not everyone that shows a particular feeling of disgust or dislike to something is that something. The keyword in many studies done on the subject is that some conflicted gay men might indeed be homophobic.

WhiteKite · Answer

Someone had a fun joke about this, but I can't remember who it was. But it was something about it seeming more gay to care about what other guys do with their penis. Hence claiming that homophobes have gay thoughts.

Goforit1010 · Answer

You forgot to include the Muslim and Jewish anti-gay positions too! The last time I checked, those groups add up to roughly 87% of the world's population. So now... wanna discuss how many people TRULY don't accept the gay lifestyle and view it as an abberation, an abomination, wrong and immoral?

ZanyInternetName · Answer

I'm not saying that it means anything but I once attended an event held in the same building as a conference of soon-to-be (Catholic, may be relevant) priests. A surprising number of them went back to their single-bed rooms in pairs.

On a related note, ever notice how make feminists tend to turn out to be guilty of sexual assault or such?

Not implying that all feminists are rapists or that all priests are faggots, just stating two observations.

jacquesvol · Answer

Indeed. in my opinion most homophobes are afraid of that gay guy they hide in themselves.

NatureBeauty · Answer

I have, it's very sad that they are gay but feel like they need to hide it. What makes me sick is when they know that they are gay while hurting the LGBTQ community.

dropkicknj13 · Answer

I have never noticed this happen even once, it has always seemed like weird propaganda from the LGBT group, kinda like how they rebranded disapproval as a fear cause that makes sense 🙄

OvershareGamer · Answer

Yeah... that's not true. It is true that there are a lot of gays in the closet who are crazy mean, out of control, and reckless in their life, until they come out though.

SmokeStroke · Answer

The fuck is this question about? I don't give a fuck keep it away from me

coolbreeze · Answer

I think you hear a lot about it on tv more then anything. Real life not that much in my area.

Anonymous · Answer

No. You are the first person in all of forever to notice that some very loudly anti-gay people are actually repressed, self loathing homosexuals.

HeyThere94 · Answer

It's a known fact that the anti-gay people are really gays in the closet. As a straight person, I am secure in my sexuality

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I never noticed that personally, but I have heard people that constantly harass gays might be suppressing and fighting their own gay desires.

ZeussLightningBolt · Answer

I don't believe it. That's just Liberal propoganda.

ModernGuy · Answer

Yes I have, they are all in the closet  They just need to accept who they are and not be scare of it
