that some of the vile bigot homophobes are denying their sexuality?
how can we know they are truly gay and yet not trying to understand the feeling inside?
Yes i know homophobes are gay too but not as vile as Olga or godhatesrumprangers or others.
to say that the reason they might be gay and yet bashing gays on the forum is because of that is kind of vague. unless you have good reasons.

Those who claim that it is a choice, belong to the category below:
"It has long been held that, deep down, homophobes are really self-hating homosexuals. Now comes evidence to support that notion. According to a study published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, homophobic men are far more likely to be arounsed while watching gay sex videos than are nonhomophobic men.
A research team led by Henry Adams, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Georgia, recruited 64 young white male heterosexuals and showed them a video depicting heterosexual sex and another depicting homosexual sex. Their responses were measured by a gauge detecting penile erection. The result: 80% of the homophobic men showed a response to the gay video, while only one third or the nonhomophobic men did. "Men who are upset by being around gay men probably have these tendencies themselves," Adams said in the February issue of Esquire magazine. "The thing you dislike most in yourself is the kind of thing you might jump on somebody else for."

Not sure if you spend any time in this section but why are they always here? Don't they have any other interest like cars, computers or gardening? Seriously, there are other straight people they can chat with...
One will always assume someone who is fixated on one issue (in this case Gay) is normally what they fixated on. i.e. If I only read gardening books, one would believe I like gardening, RIGHT?
That is why we wonder.

such negative attitudes are fueled by fear - often times I'm sure they're from a fear of their own sexuality. Other times, such attitudes are based on immoral predjudice, lack of understanding, arrogance and ignorance. Hate is hate, gay or straight.

Nostromos said it best. I also agree with Indy T's approach just ignore them and report them.

I don't wonder about their sexuality at all. I simply report them to have their hate posts removed. It's working.

I've never understood why people make that argument. It doesn't make sense to me at all.
