Title: Here we go again--Anti gay activist caught and arrested for lewd behavior
Post by: juliekins on March 04, 2011, 01:34:17 PM
In the final stages of their attacks against gay and transgender people, another one of their leaders gets arrested for public indecency. What is it about these people? Aren't they really turning their own self hatred outwardly towards others? Or in this case, a diversionary tactic?

He sounds like he's actually a child molester.

I'm of the opinion that many of them feel the need to police the sexuality (and gender expression which is usually conflated with sexuality) because they feel the need to police their own...and fail.

Every time I read or hear about these people I think about how similar they are to the man behind the curtain.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWyCCJ6B2WE#noexternalembed)

An anti-homosexual activist gets caught masturbating while observing kids at a park?

Who'da thunk?

Definitely being gay and being a child-sex-pervert are two completely different things, and I definitely would never equate the two.

That said, as for your thought about self-hatred, speaking in a general sense and not saying anything about the pervert in the link you provided, it does appear that homophobes often have homosexual "feelings" - in fact, it appears remarkably common.

Anti-gay activist who is a paedophile.  Why am I not surprised, again.   I wonder if he has ever advocated shooting them?

[abuse trigger alert]

Most child abuse perpetrators are men who self-identify as heterosexual. The thing about sexual abuse (like rape in general) is that it's not about sex, it's about power/control - and therefore sexual orientation is fairly irrelevant. A lot of the men who abuse boys do it simply because they have easier access to them than to girls, not because they're particularly attracted to men.
