Obviously a lot of the most vocally anti-gay people are completely gay themselves.

Sorry, this is nothing but your personal fact-free opinion.

No, it's not. Notice that I didn't say that every person with anti-gay opinions is gay, but it does seem that quite often some of the most vocal ones are big hypocrites. In case you are not familiar with this phenomenon, read post #96.

There are many other examples. For instance in my home town there was a city commisioner who used anti-gay themes in his fundraising letters. He was found to be having an affair with a male member of his staff. In Spokane, Washington, Mayor Jim West had sponsored anti-gay legislation while he was in the legislature. He was voted out of office after it was found that he was offering city jobs as bait to attract to potential young male lovers.

Here's an example who is a former member of congress.

If you want more public examples, I will look dig them up for you.

Here's another example closer to home: In my time on FR I have noticed that a small group of persons always leap to join anti-gay threads, posting many links they have accumulated. My conclusion, which has been reinforced by conversations I have had with some of these people is that they have had homosexual feelings at some point in their lives. In my opinion, this means that they are not purely heterosexual. Perhaps these people are not "completely gay", but they are not "completely straight" either.

So since a couple of people you've heard of or you know sounded off against homosexuality turned out to be homosexual themselves. We all know about anecdotal evidence.

There is one Freeper here - named scritper - who is too busy currently to spend much time on FR. He is one who used to post many links, as he has done much research on the topic of homosexuality over the years. If you are referring to him, you are worse than blind and are basically slandering a very fine individual.

Your opinion was, and remains, fact free. I have been accused of being a closeted "gay" many times on FR when I managed the Homosexual Agenda pinglist and/or posted on such threads. Nothing could be further from the truth; on the contrary, such an accusation is a classic homosexual agenda promoting talking point.

From your statement above:

there is a small group of persons who leap to join anti-gay threads
they also post links they've accumulated
you've had conversations with some of them
you've determined they have had homosexual feelings at some point in their lives

Well, since there are very, very few people who have accumulated links on the subject of homosexuality and posted those links, I have to wonder if you're just blowing smoke here.

As far as I know in regards to FreeRepublic, I've collected the most links on the subject. Next in line would be EdReform who has done an outstanding job pointing out many of the details behind some of the more blatant homosexual activists, and after that, probably backhoe, who collected a lot of articles on gay marriage.

There really is nobody else at FR that has collected and posted links on the subject, and none in the list have leaped to join anti-gay threads. I don't believe you've had conversations with any of us that would give the impression we had homosexual feelings at some point in [our] lives.

I think you're just blowing smoke.
