I doubt that such a realization would help much because if you examine homosexuals, you find that a much higher percentage of them than the population as a whole have *other* problems.

Not just mental, but physical as well. Often they mask such problems by assuming they have a sexual origin, when that is far from the case.

Unfortunately, they are strongly averse to having a study done to find out what else they should become aware of as common problems. And in truth, there are those that would use such information to assert that homosexuals are defectives.

It does point out what you said, however, that projecting personal problems onto others is ineffective in finding remedies to those problems. But projection seems to afflict a LOT of people.

It's simpler than that. What they are doing is demented immoral and depraved and they know it. They are in denial on the surface, but deep down they are very unhappy because they continue to do what their instincts tell them is wrong and just plain abnormal. It's the same problem with the women who are in denial over abortions they have had. Both groups look to bury their pain by seeking society's sanction of the behavior they regret. Of course, thee is no relief so they just keep striking out at society harder and harder. Some figure it out, must do not and live very angry lives of pain and regret.
