I've often wondered if this sort of thing was true of many of the most anti-gay Repubs, and sometimes it has turned out to be the case with some Repubs who got exposed as actually being gay. Now we know why some Repubs act like they hate gays in their political speech and policies, besides the other reason, which is that it raises money for them and fires up their supporters.

I've always thought it was common sense. I think there is quite a bit of jealous anger from these individuals because there beliefs prevent them from being who they really are. What's the old expression? "I think thoust dust protest to much!"
