- his homophobia.
It's well known that many closeted gays in denial express their inner turmoil in public homophobia. They don't hate other gays per se, they hate themselves, or the gay side of themselves. It's estimated that a LARGE percentage of gaybashings are done by closeted gay or bisexual men. They are actually bashing the gay past of themselves. Michelangelo Signorelli, a famous gay activist (who popularized outing in America) has confessed that he used to gaybash with friends.
I had an interesting experience a few years back on a mixed BBS. The BBS identified its members with an id that included the reson's self-proclaimed age, gender and orientation (ie GM27, BF33, SM18.) One user saw my id and pulled me into chat mode, asked me if I was a "faggit" (hey, he wasn't bright!), then proceded to go into GREAT detail about how he and friends liked to go to Provincetown (Mass. Cape Cod gay resort town) to "fagbash". He also threatened to get me, too. I later found him on a gay BBS and reported him to the sysop, who rather than just delete him (as the other had done) decided to trace his actions. It seemed that he would go to the gay porno section for HOURS at a time (this was in the era of 300 and 600 baud modems, after all!), then suddenly go into private or group chat mode and verbally attack gays. I don't think I need to analize this for you!
2) his occasional (VERY occasional, esp. when compared to Butt-Head!) public moves towards females.
Well, before I came out I made many moves towards women. I dated several for six months at a time. I though that I was bi, because I WANTED to be attracted to women, though it just didn't work out that way.
Others go overboard in flirting with women to provide a cover with their friends. I often go to a straight dance club in town because I like the music. There's one guy who often goes that I've long suspected was gay. Yet he ALWAYS dances -- and dances DIRTY -- with women, sometimes two and three at a time! Yet, to me, it always seemed that his heart (and his libido) wasn't really into it -- it was a show. Well, a friend of his recently confided to me that he's slept with this gay on many occasions, and that he's told him that he's never slept with a woman.
Add to all of this that he's never really seemed truly interested in a woman. The only time he goes after them or talks about them is to follow Butt-Head's lead. Often when Butt-Head brings up the subject of women, he changes the subject. He much prefers seeing explosions in videos than women.
SOUNDS LIKE A CLOSET CASE TO ME!!!
