(1,290 posts)It's like people want to excuse the fact that straight people traditionally don't like us very much, so they claim every homophobe actually has to be a closeted gay person. I know there are some cases of this happening (Haggard, Rikers, etc.) but it's tiring that our community gets blamed for even the hate we receive.
