Yeah, I didn't take that comment as accusatory, just figured I would make my position clear. There is a body of evidence that shows that the more intense someone's homophobia is, the more likely they are to be sexually aroused by homoerotic stuff. However, this does not mean homophobes are likely to be closeted queers. The vast majority of these bigots are not, in fact, homosexuals. However, every public homophobe gets a lot of reactions suggesting they are, often even from gay people. Not great.
