Usually the ones loudest about the gay thing are in the closet. It's because they feel a certain way when they think about it. Then they feel shame because of their backwards ass religion and overcompensate with a bunch of other in the closet religious nuts.
I actually had a friend sorta like this! He never went gay bashing or anything or he wouldn't be my friend but if anybody asked if he was gay or made any inkling he'd freak tf out! He'd also be super weird and uncomfortable if there was anybody gay around when most of us really didn't give a shit one way or the other. I'm not talking about somebody hitting on him, just "this person is gay" and he'd get all uncomfortable and weird. This was middle school to highschool btw so maturity levels should be taken into account.
Years later he came out as bi. Good on him for working on his inner demons I guess.
I’ve found that what I’m most critical of other people is what I’m most critical of in myself.
And this was learned behavior from insecurities of the people around me while I was growing up.
if this is true, then why am I not genocidal against people who can’t get none
I think it means like on a personal level
My theory is they assume everyone else has gay thoughts like they do, so every man married to a woman resisted the urge to go balls deep in their homies, instead choosing to get married to a woman they aren't attracted to and have children as their show of devotion to God. Because they're so sexually repressed, and only talk about how gay their thoughts are while getting fucked by their other gay religious friends, they never put 2 and 2 together that most people actually don't have an attraction to the same sex the way they do.
I think you're completely wrong! It's completely normal think of putting a big ole meaty cock in your mouth as a straight man! Feeling the sensation of caressing it. That doesn't make you gay! Anyway I'm off to call gay people an abomination while packing a raging hard on! Then I'll maybe hop on whatever the gay Tinder is called, just to look at how horrible these men are! Especially the ones showing their abs that I'm 100% not attracted to! Yep, totally normal!
/s (hopefully nobody actually needed that).
I truly feel bad for these men's wives. You know that deep down, they know. They are living a lie and in denial. That's gotta suck. I would say I feel bad for the men but fuck (hehe) them for making other people's lives miserable!
I used to work at a vape shop and had a guy come in who unironically was close to being this bad. Kept trying to throw me off by talking about how much I was sucking on that big thing. How gay it looked and how much it looked like I liked it. Full fucking store at the time too and he wasn't flirting (afaik... I'm on the spectrum so who knows) I just really felt bad for him that he felt the need to do that to feel better about himself. It's really obvious he found me attractive at the very least. I think the fact I was nonplussed about it just made him go gayer and gayer in his accusations which was kind of hilarious for such a perfectly straight man to do to another man.
and some are in sham marriages but still on the down-low.
I don't think that homophobes have to be closeted to be envious of queer folk who are being true to themselves and not living a life of conformity. Of course some of them are though.
