Jim, I have a serious question that I was hoping you could provide some insight on...

Is there any truth to the following theory:

There is an oft-stated theory that young men who very homophobic are possibly closeted homosexuals themselves.

Under this theory, for example, a young man who constantly calls other men "gay", who incessantly talks about--sometimes in great detail--how other men engage in homosexual acts, and who even fantasize about other men having on makeup and lipstick, might be closet homosexuals.

Any insight on this you can shed would be appreciated. It might even help a few frequent posters here, from Shermer Il, and elsewhere, stop living in shame of their own hidden selves.



I'm no gay expert, but I'd say it's more likely that someone is gay if, in response to actions like the ones you're describing, someone like, I don't know, a lawyer, started doing the exact same thing. This would prove that not only the person (or lawyer) is gay, but that he's gay for bsa... for the other guy.
