This one just SCREAMS reaction formation.

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.

I have seen examples of this in people I've been acquainted with. I occasionally spoke with a sheriff's deputy who was the biggest gay basher I'd seen when we were at the shooting range, to the point I thought he shouldn't have been a cop. I hadn't saw him in awhile last year, only to learn he was busted for drugs while he was getting it on with a male prostitute in a city an hour away from town lol.

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.
