Whenever I see/hear someone going out of their way to attack and persecute gay people, I automatically assume they are gay. Itâs like when somebody farts in an enclosed space, then immediately claims âit wasnât meâ - no, it totally was you! Actually, farting in enclosed spaces is probably the one place where Donât Ask, Donât Tell is a good policy.
There should be schools/camps set up to help âre-gayâ these folks and help them see that itâs okay to be themselves.
This brings to mind my repeated joke that whenever I hear a guy say âGay marriage is a threatâ what I hear is âIf it becomes legal my boyfriendâs going to really pressure me to leave my wife.â
Except for a case like this I have to tweak it slightly. I donât think he has a regular boyfriend. I think he enjoys the danger. Or rather he enjoyed it. Heâs set an example that the adrenaline rush of living in fear may be exciting and even addictive, but sooner or later thereâs a crash.
Obligatory link to The Onion:
Why do Conservatives obsess about LGBT Americans & their sex lives so much?
Jealous?
Because butts.
BUTTS.
No, seriously, I have no idea- I donât often think of what others do in the bedroom, but there seems to be some serious thinking being done by those that shout about this sort of thing. I mean, if I was writing commandments, Iâd add a âMind your bidnessâ clause.
I wonder how often these anti-gay pastors and politicians run into each other when using those services?
if you fart in an enclosed space you say ⌠Maâam how could you?
on the other hand if itâs only two people in an elevator, everybody knows who did it.
Regarding the link though, a gay friend of mine told me that years ago that often the worst gay haters are closet cases themselves.
Sex and the shame/hedonism pendulum is a human thing, going back long before American conservatives.
Now we need to update the old joke about why Baptists wonât look each other in the eye at the liquor store.
These stories pop up all over the place, and they raise so many questions for me. First, how does this work, just in terms of cognitive dissonance? A: âHomosexuality is evil.â B: âI like to top and cuddle.â If A -> ~B, right? How does that work? When heâs saying A, does he think âIâm lying right nowâ? Or when he says B is he thinking âIâm being evil right nowâ?
Itâs not just hypocrisy. Thatâs easy: âI will say that stealing is wrong so that people donât know I steal.â
Oh, wait. Maybe I just answered my own question.
Ew. Thatâs grosser than cuddling with that ugly bastard could ever be.
Itâs basic psychological projection. Thereâs really no mystery.
âThe collection of statements is damning: heâs a full-spectrum [self-]haterâŚâ
FTFY, Rob (including âspectumâ ; -)
There seem to be some who view homosexuality as a kind of universal temptation. If you assume that obviously everyone is tempted to have gay sex all the time and it is your job not to give in, then you can be secretly âweakâ without rethinking your stance.
If you werenât interested in dick before, then you probably will be after thinking about it 24/7 for years. And they usually go for top role because itâs not âreallyâ gay if youâre pitching.
you can be secretly âweakâ without rethinking your stance.
As long as itâs a wide stance. 
In a depressing but not unexpected update to this story the pastor was unsympathetic and unhelpful to at least one gay teenager, and said the teenâs parents shouldnât support him.
I know that Iâm being pedantic here but surely he âtrawledâ Grindr for gay sex not âtrolledâ. Unless he Rickrolled the guys he hooked up with or somethingâŚ
