There is something about all these super-homophobic representatives and senators literally being caught with their pants down that I just find utterly hilarious...and sad at the same time. Sad only because they're denying themselves....
These are stories only from the last month and a half though...
I'm sure we can all name a few...
My point is to simply suggest that being anti-gay is just a thing of the past these days. I'm not gay myself but I find it incredible that the lengths someone will go through to deny basic rights to others.�
For those that wonder why people do this, it has been described in a few studies and can be termed as a "Reaction Formation"�http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_formation
Essentially:�a phobia is an example of a reaction formation. The person wants what he fears. He is not afraid of the object; he is afraid of the wish for the object. The reactive fear prevents the dreaded wish from being fulfilled.
NT, just do your part and stop the hate.�
