Getting real sick of all the fucking comments claiming that only closeted people are capable of being homophobic. It's bizarre how this absurdly homophobic take is so common. Stop blaming gay people for homophobia please. You straight people are indeed capable of being homophobic, as evidenced by this victim-blaming "joke".
For real. Like, are there no straight people who hate gay people then? Hmm
Nobody is saying being homophobic means you're definitely closeted, but it's an open secret that a lot of republicans are.

Lots of people are. Actually, I can link you to at least 3 people who are saying that homophobia is a thing only closeted gay people do, and at least 6 more implying it.
Sure you can link em. I saw a few accusing hegseth of being gay, but none like what you saw.
Yes... the comments accusing him of being gay are people saying it. THe implication being the man with a wife and children must be gay if he is also homophobic.
