Do you suspect that homophobes are likely closet cases?

1) The closet cases who are very insecure about their own sexuality and use being homophobic either as a "cover" or because they are in denial about themselves.
2) The "jumping on the bandwagon" cases who are homophobic because their circle of friends is homophobic and they want to fit in. (as thepossiblepolice brought up).
3) The conservative, religious types who think homosexuality is a sin/choice/lifestyle that children can be "taught", that's dangerous to society and that necessitates an "agenda".
Those are the only reasons for anyone to actually be homophobic. Class 1 homophobes are proud to be homophobes and are very open about how "disgusted" they are by it. Class 2 homophobes are secretly ashamed that they are homophobic but value social acceptance over integrity and continue to be homophobic anyway. Class 3 homophobes actually believe that they are not homophobic and pretend that there is no such thing as homophobia (except in extreme cases). They recognize homophobia as a socially negative label and since they belive that their morals are superior to everyone elses, they deny that they could be something that is morally unacceptable.
WIN!!
I especially agree with this: Class 3 homophobes actually believe that they are not homophobic and pretend that there is no such thing as homophobia (except in extreme cases). They recognize homophobia as a socially negative label and since they believe that their morals are superior to everyone elses, they deny that they could be something that is morally unacceptable.

Maybe not every homophobe but it wouldn't surprise me if more than a few were.

I'm hoping in my lifetime there will be a release of a pictorial from the lovely state of Kansas. I don't want to see it But I hope it exists.

CeCe, if you're referring to the Westboro Baptist Church...

I must confess that it went over my head the first time I read it (I was sitting down at the time.)
