    Couldn’t be that a systemically homophobic society would confuse and frustrate ignorant savages without critical thinking skills, who also happen to be having gay feelings that they have been socialized to despise since childhood.

        I’m not blaming gays in general, but I also have a lot of life experience that demonstrates that often the loudest, most vicious homophobic politicians, preachers, etc., almost always eventually get caught with gay men. If you are that angry about gays simply existing, it is likely because you have unresolved internal hatred.

        It is simply a fact that unhappy closeted gays are often the gay community’s worst enemies. I don’t blame “gays” for that, I blame a homophobic society that demonizes gay orientations, and forces weak people to deny their own truth.

          What do you think the percentage of homophobic violence is carried out by cishets Vs closeted homosexuals? Because from my experience it is overwhelmingly bigoted cishets doing this sorta shit.

          In place of trying to extrapolate a whole-arse sexual complex of someone neither of us know anything about I’d prefer to stick with what’s more likely.

          Especially because this sorta self blaming of the queer community for its suffering has historically been used to minimise it (gay panic defences being used in cases murdered transfemmes for example).
