The lady doth protest too much, methinks...

Ever wonder why many of our right-wing friends are so hostile toward gay folks and hold such strong anti-gay views?

"Sometimes people are threatened by gays and lesbians because they are fearing their own impulses,
in a sense they 'doth protest too much. In addition, it appears that sometimes those who would
oppress others have been oppressed themselves, and we can have some compassion for them too,
they may be unaccepting of others because they cannot be accepting of themselves."

"Those participants who reported their heterosexuality despite having hidden same-sex desires
were also the most likely to show hostility toward gay individuals, including self-reported anti-gay attitudes,
endorsement of anti-gay policies and discrimination such as supporting harsher punishments for homosexuals."

My right-wing friends you can put the guns down, break out of those closets, and let your rainbow flags fly! Embrace your true selves, It's ok to be you!

All the best!
