Interesting how this seems to happen every single time there's a large gathering of Republicans.

It's gay (or bi) MAGA men in the closet seeking hookups with people in other towns so they don't bump into them later at the grocery store with their wife.
These are the same people that will say shit like "faggots make me sick" and some probably even go gay bashing.
Their religion and culture have damaged their brains into rejecting who they are and what they want in life and will violently lash out at others who embrace who they are.
I'd feel pity for them if they weren't such horrible humans.
My pet theory is that these bisexual conservatives are the origin of the “it’s a choice” thing. Because they do wake up every morning and choose to act straight in everyday life. And since they do it, they assume every gay person can do it. They’re just bisexual, and constantly deny that they find the same sex attractive.
Their hatred for gay people runs so deep because whenever they see an openly gay person, they see the part of themselves that they constantly deny; The part that they’re only able to deny by constantly telling themselves that it is disgusting. Because if they stop telling themselves that, they’re afraid that they’ll give into it. So whenever they see an openly gay person, the internalized “this part of you is disgusting and you should feel ashamed of it” part of them bubbles up to the surface and manifests as “just choose to be straight” homophobia.
I agree with this. Believing this also makes me comfortable in my straightness. I love the gay community, gay bars make the strongest drinks, and they are fun as hell to be with. They can grab my ass all they want, but I'll always reject them. My fellow gay humans, keep being fabulous baby!
100%. They feel gay, but they deny it, and live a straight life, so they thing EVERYBODY thinks like that, and gay people are just those who are too weak to resist it.
They don't understand that MOST people don't struggle with it because they aren't gay. I never made the "choice" to be straight, I just am. Gay people don't make the choice to be gay, they just are. If you are making a choice, it's because you are denying who you really are.
more than likely its a gay waking up morning "im not gay and its a choice" these people are more in denial than bi people.
No I understand the rationale and why this occurs in the way it does, but not the process theyre going about it.
My thought was "surely if there was a larger trend AFTER these hookup patterns there'd be talk of it" but I am not the type of person/near the people who would be affected so I hear nothing and find that...unusual, given how much tea would be spilled back and forth on social media of "paul" recognizing "george" on grindr
