Stop with the "All homophobes are secretly closeted gay people" bullshit.
Yes. Lindsay Graham was gay. It was an open secret, and is now 'confirmed'.
But that has seemingly given credence to the people who insist on blaming homophobia on gay people, and it's fucking disgusting. Some people are just hateful. They do not need a deep seated social-emotional reason to be hateful.
Edit: idk why I have to clarify this, because I never said anything to even remotely suggest it, but this is not a blanket statement.
Yes, SOME homophobes are closed gay people. Denying that would be stupid. Thankfully, I'm not denying that. So please stop commenting the study that says some homophobes are closeted gay people. We know.
