No. I don’t buy this. If a closeted gay person beats a gay person to death for being gay, that’s homophobia. Being closeted isn’t an excuse. Speaking of which, fuck Lindsey Graham.

    You don’t have to buy it, it’s a fact. Straight people possess the ability to be homophobic, do you deny that? If not, you must accept that by sheer volume, they outnumber any self-hating homophobe. If you do deny the ability of straight people to be homophobic, that is blaming homophobia in it’s entirety on gay people (which is very homomphobic). If you’re just doing the “haha calling the homophobe gay” bit, that’s homophobic by using homosexuality as an insult. Ultimately it just comes down to that, if you see a homophobic person and immediately assume they are gay, that is homophobia. You are linking their bigotry to an alleged homosexuality. What other bigotries do you think someone must secretly be part of the group they hate?
