    Making the claim that homophobes are all secretly gay downplays the harm they cause. It turns it into “in-fighting” instead of a minority being oppressed/attacked.

    Some politicians will be self-hating queer people who are weaponizing hate, but others will just be hateful straight people.

      i dont see how it causes more harm, or infighting against gay people. it exposes thier hyprocisy of gay politicians. if you were gay you would know which people are the ones actually harming. there are plenty of evidence that homophobic people are gay themselves.

      Bizarre its only ever straight people that are obssesed with not claiming homophobics are gay, they are the ones doing the most harm through denial that Homphobic people are remotely not gay. plus they are the ones that are often “offended for pocs and LGBTQ+”

        Gay man here, yet to see any real evidence that being homophobic means you’re gay. Anecdotal accounts will be found, but that’s not compelling.
