Reprobate Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 How many homophobic pastors and xtians are homosexual and just can't admit it to themselves. I am sure at least some of them are. I was just wondering what everyone elses thoughts were. Personally, I could not get myself all worked up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
★ Citsonga ★ Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Here's a list of some anti-gay politicians and ministers who turned out to be gay themselves: http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-anti-gay-activists-caught-being-gay/joanne As a side note, I disagree with the broadbrushed use of the term "homophobic." Phobia means fear, and I've never had any fear of homosexuals or homosexuality. When I was a Christian I was definitely prejudiced against gays, thinking that they were living a sinful lifestyle, but I wasn't the least bit "homophobic." While there are undoubtedly some that are literally homophobic, the anti-gay category is broader than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point is that often those who are the most homophobic are homosexuals themselves? I think you have a point with that. I guess it has to do with self-hate more than anything else.

Guest Babylonian Dream Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Homophobia and closeted homosexuality go hand in hand. This used to just be an idea everyone basically guessed was true, but it was scientifically shown that a correlation does in fact exist. Its not just folkknowledge.
