"Obviously a lot of the most vocally anti-gay people are completely gay themselves. Perhaps in many of these people, reaction formation is a correct explanation. In the case of politicians, though, as well as some others, the anti-gay posing is probably just cynical, calculated misdirection.
All of this probably applies even more to child molesters. The people who make the loudest claims to be trying to protect kids probably include many who want to get next to the kids."
Sorry, this is nothing but your personal fact-free opinion. In fact, it's a standarad homosexual promoting talking point - to disarm any criticism of the "gay" agenda. "Anyone criticizing homosexuality or the behavior of homosexuals must be one".
Just ain't true. If this was logical, then pro-life advocates would be secret abortionists, people against the legalization of drugs would be tokers, etc.

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.
