1) I guarantee this is a chud who only watches gay porn and yet has convinced himself he's not gay for whatever dumb reason and so he lives a life of mental gymnastics and misery instead. And no I don't think all homophobes are secretly gay. I just suspect this guy based on the weird mental gymnastics he does

2) "to make sure I'm transparent, I'm straight" / "these labels don't need to exist" lol

I definitely should have provided more context for this post and explained their further behaviour more. In a comment before this he uses his logic here to argue against "special treatment" for LGBT+ people for example, by which he means LGBT charities, pride, gay spaces, etc. I should have included more of that as the lack of context for his remarks makes it look like Im attacking the guy for having a fairly nuanced take on sexuality - which wasn't my intention

    Gay is an adjective. Two men having sex is gay sex. But those men aren't necessarily gay men. They could be experimenting and about to find out they don't care for it, or they could be "gay for pay" doing porn as he mentioned.

        Isn’t that basically just being closeted?

        Like Pete Buttigieg until it was politically advantageous to be out.

            It’s not politically advantageous to be out in general, but it is when you’re a white guy trying to be Obama.

                A Christian cis straight white man can’t be an Obama clone because there’s nothing historic about him. Part of Obama’s election was about proving that a black man could be president.

                I think that if Pete wasn’t gay, he’d get criticized more by the Yas Kween crowd and he would have faded from the primary like Eric Swalwell.

                I don’t think that being gay is an advantage in general and I don’t think that it was even specifically an advantage to Buttigieg, but that it was very calculated and triangulated when and why he came out.

                So maybe by politically advantageous I meant not politically disastrous.

      I guess but if they do it more than once not for pay they're definitely either gay or bi
