I know that this is, like, a novel concept for some people, but criticizing conservative homophobes by implying that they’re secretly gay is, in fact, homophobic

How?

The idea that all homophobes are secretly gay places the blame of homophobia on the very people it’s affecting. Hatred against gay people doesn’t come from gays hating their identity and then as an act of denial to reinstate their desired heterosexuality they proceed to act homophobic. It’s come from straight people who think we’re lesser then.

By assuming that conservative homophobes are secretly gay we are taking their hatred and and disgusting comments about homosexuality and justifying it because “he’s probably secretly gay” and placing the blame on the lgbt community. It also creates the narrative that homophobia exists within society because gay people wished they were straight. But that’s just my view on it
