How queer...

It seems recent studies indicate that a good proportion of homophobic individuals are actually repressed homosexuals. Gays remind them of the guilt and shame they feel for their own nature, which manifests as hatred, anger and prejudice.
Many gay friends of mine have talked about supposed 'tough men' who convey their distrust and hatred of gays, only to be sucked off by a gay man after a few pints. I always thought they were exaggerating or a little bit of wishful thinking going on......hmmm.
Repressing your sexuality must be horrible and
over the centuries gays have probably been
demeaned and ridicules more than any other
demographic in society. I know we've taken
enormous strides against homophobia but we must not
resign ourselves to the assumption it can't be
severed completely.
In the not so distant past my past I think
stupid homophobes would shout me down.
Gays have fought for their rights and
almost everyone today is far more welcoming than
yesterday. But there is more work to be done.
