There is a reason why the harshest critic of gay men that are Republican yet also want to stomp on women's rights exist... and that is because he is still wearing his mask. ;)

It's a common theme for straight people in general to call very evil heterosexual men "secretly gay".

I've seen it too, and I hate it. People calling homophobic politicians like Mike Pence secretly gay. It feels like pushing the blame of homophobia onto gay people.

I agree, although unfortunately I've talked to LGB people in real life who insist on this, too. Sure it's sometimes a thing... but only for a minority of homophobic people. It's not always self-hating "projection" going on, sometimes it's just hatred of others.

That bothers me as well. Do you think gag men would be homophobic if society wasn't homophobic?
