Usually the ones loudest about the gay thing are in the closet. It’s because they feel a certain way when they think about it. Then they feel shame because of their backwards ass religion and overcompensate with a bunch of other in the closet religious nuts.
I actually had a friend sorta like this! He never went gay bashing or anything or he wouldn’t be my friend but if anybody asked if he was gay or made any inkling he’d freak tf out! He’d also be super weird and uncomfortable if there was anybody gay around when most of us really didn’t give a shit one way or the other. I’m not talking about somebody hitting on him, just “this person is gay” and he’d get all uncomfortable and weird. This was middle school to highschool btw so maturity levels should be taken into account.
Years later he came out as bi. Good on him for working on his inner demons I guess.
My theory is they assume everyone else has gay thoughts like they do, so every man married to a woman resisted the urge to go balls deep in their homies, instead choosing to get married to a woman they aren’t attracted to and have children as their show of devotion to God. Because they’re so sexually repressed, and only talk about how gay their thoughts are while getting fucked by their other gay religious friends, they never put 2 and 2 together that most people actually don’t have an attraction to the same sex the way they do.
I don’t think that homophobes have to be closeted to be envious of queer folk who are being true to themselves and not living a life of conformity. Of course some of them are though.

I’ve found that what I’m most critical of other people is what I’m most critical of in myself.
And this was learned behavior from insecurities of the people around me while I was growing up.
if this is true, then why am I not genocidal against people who can’t get none
I think it means like on a personal level
