I don’t read it as that… To me it looks like being afraid of leaving the closet causes homophobia
This is the same principle as small penis men buying large trucks… They are doubling down on the homophobia display to over compensate for their homosexuality
I think that other people often make the claim that homophobes are secretly gay and I’m asking if we actually know how many, even based on a rough estimate, that applies to. If not, it’s a spurious and rather disturbing claim.
This is exactly how stereotypes work. And no, they should not be taking super seriously even if they do tend to come from some real life examples
Personally, I am not super concerned if claims against homophobes are spurious, they do not seem to mind claiming gay people are pedophiles in disguise for example
But as I said, it suggests that queer people are the homophobes. That’s my issue. It lessens the bigotry issue if the implication is that cishet people aren’t the ones being homophobic.

But haven’t you noticed that every loudmouth homophobe gets called secretly queer?
I think it’s because they so often are … It’s becoming a stereotype now
I think they so often are claimed to be. How many actually are? Have there been some? Yes. Do we actually know how many? Even a rough estimate?
Well there’s this list https://www.advocate.com/politicians/2018/5/24/18-homophobic-leaders-who-turned-out-be-gay-or-bi
18 people vs. every single person who says anything homophobic that gets reported on the news since people always claim that person is closeted.
Which is my point.
They portrait themselves as raging homophobics just to then pretend to be gay? I don’t follow

I’m just hoping that the stereotype gets to them and causes them to mellow out in response.

Not it doesn’t… some fruits are apples, apples are not all fruit
Again, I do not know what you are fishing for but I don’t care to follow
