Safest bet in the world, husband is gayer than a unicorn fart

Claiming that someone's homophobia is because they are secretly gay is ultimately blaming the gays for said homophobia.

It's also entirely possible that someone is just a hateful piece of shit.

I get what you're saying.
But usually it's really they are a hateful piece of shit because they are secretly gay. The loudest ones tend to be the most secretly what they are yelling about.

i just don’t believe that that’s actually true, though. most homophobes are just pieces of shit, not secretly gay

… i’m an asshole because i think that homophobes are mostly bad people, not self-hating gay people?

Honestly, I misread what you said and thought you were saying angry gay people were mostly bad people. Lol yikes, I apologize

That's embarrassing

no you're not an asshole. I agree with you that some people are just homophobic pos and not secretly gay. But for this one in particular, if true, it's screaming insecurity rather than homophobia.
