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
They probably specified that they were straight because they knew the regular shitheaded reaction to this very correct opinion is "lmao you're just gay man, just admit your gay lol" which was exactly what you then said
