is it true that most homophobics are closet cases?

Answer 1

God yes, just ask my high school football team. What a class reunion that's going to be. LMAO.

Answer 2

Unknown. It is probable that some homophobes are massively uncomfortable with the possibility that they, themselves, may be less than pure heterosexuals. Another factor is that they are uncomfortable with behaviors that are associated with the LGBTQ community. Let's face it. If you're a relatively quiet person, someone who is flamboyant to the point of overloading camera pixels is going to make you nervous and uneasy.

Others may be driven because their faith and their associates in faith tell them that they must behave that way in order to be a true believer.

Some may have had a criminal or other bad experience with someone who ended up being identified as a homosexual.

Put your money down and spin the wheel. Any and all of these may be reasons for their behaviors.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. I grew up in Colorado, and at the time being gay was simply wrong. No reason in particular, that's just the way it was.

Then I went to college in another state, got hit on by gay guys, and freaked out! Why the hell were they hitting on ME? I'm freakin' STRAIGHT!

Eventually it happened enough that I could just say, "Thanks, but I'm straight." A new job moved me to the bay area for a few months, and though I was close to 'Frisco I never got hit on once.

Then I moved just outside of Portland, OR, where I met my wife. half of her family is gay, and they're ALL a bit strange (yes, even the straight ones). Good-hearted people though, and now we're related.

No more homophobia for me, and all it took was exposure and understanding, and I guarantee that I'm straight! I think it's more ignorance than being "closeted" really.

Answer 4

Yes it is true James, let me give you an example.

I’ll ask you a question. What is the difference between “a bisexual man who’s had sex with guys, but he is now only having sex with females” AND “the guy named Loyal B who writes on this site”? I’ll give you a clue, both have admitted to having sex with men in the past and both are now only having sex with females. Loyal B has said “no, I am not homosexual I turned from sin when I accepted Jesus”. So in other words HE is a guy who’s had sex with men and women (bisexual). Yet he comes on here being abusive to gays and bisexuals. Why does he do that? Because he’s still battling his own sexual feelings for men. So to answer your question YES THEY ARE CLOSET CASES THEMSELVES.

Answer 5

I would say no, but it does happen on occasion. Normally homophobia is caused by a lack of understanding and tolerance because the person has not allowed them self to interact with someone who happens to be gay. Many people meet me and become friends with me without knowing I'm homosexual. Once they get to know me and then find out I'm gay it sometimes throws them for a loop and they end up becoming more accepting and understanding for others with differences because they have a positive experience to draw off of through me.

Answer 6

yes its true. Homophobic people are very gay closet individuals. They need some serious help

Answer 7

Of course it is. In numerology the church, gays, and famous people like movie and music stars are all number 7. This is why so many preachers and choir directors are f&ags. Adn - it is why famous people will sleep with anything that moves.

Answer 8

Not 100% true, but I would say 85% true on at least a bisexual scale.

Answer 9

More often than not. It's generally self-hatred transferred to others who represent the things about themselves they hate, whether consciously or unconsciously aware of these qualities, urges, or fears.

Answer 10

I had a coworker that was always talking bad about gay people. He was always speculating about who was and wasn't gay. He loved to "out"people. it turns out that he was also gay, but he was in denial. This made him a mean and bitter person.
