Bill I suppose that there is
some validity to the notion that
some men who are aggressively anti-gay are simply reacting to the shame they feel about their own homosexual tendencies, but this is an overly broad generalization. They may just as well aggressively bash gays because they perceive them to be, as a whole, weak, and they enjoy bullying the weak.
In any case, the sort of anti-social behavior that might suggest latent homosexuality is a far cry from opposing same sex marriages or finding the image of men copulating to be repulsive.
I believe gay men and women are perfectly capable of being decent human beings and a decent gay person is as acceptable to me as a decent straight person. I don't believe they should be persecuted for the sole reason of their sexual orientation, but frankly I'm ambivalent about same sex marriages.
What I have some difficulty with is the compulsive insistence on the part of some folks to try and assert that homosexuality a not just a norm but an enlightened state of sexuality.
Bisexuality as some form of carnal experimentation is not much more than plain hedonism, in my opinion. One can be as much a slave to lust as to narcotics, gambling or alcohol. Pleasure is great but it invariably proves out that too much of a good thing is a bad thing.
