Sorry billy, your logic is flawed, since the argument is not "all those opposed to X are secretly in favour of X, for any X". My observation, from my life, is that the most anti-gay people I've met did subsequently come out of the closet. I'm not generalizing here, but examples could also be found from public life. So it's very far from absurd.
well i have to say most, in fact all the those i know who were anti gay and this includes most of those guys i knew are still hetro. some of these guys were or are so anti gay if you went with a flat chested woman they branded you gay. don't get me wrong i'm not saying some anti's aren't gay. just that i find it hard to belive the whole anti gay movement is and was mainly made up of latent homosexuals. it's a bit like saying all the anti hetro gays (and there are more than many people think) are secretly straight. as for the flawed logic phantast isn't that what was said. all those opposed to x (homosexualty) are secretly in favour of x (homosexuality) if not what was said...does this mean all woman who are opposed to homosexuality are lesbians as well as men are gay? soory but from my experience i can only relate this phrase to a steriotypical generalisation. i had a look at some of the studies done and have yet to see one that shows it to be true. i read one studie that showed men watching gays making out are more aroused because it gave them a feeling of power as to showing them as homosexual. refering to it as the alpha male syndrome in which the dominant male has a need to show the females how week the other males are.
