Reply #36: well there's also the fear that people might think you're gay

and that can cause straight men to tell offensive jokes and use gay as an insult and even act like assholes towards known gay people. There was a time when I felt that way but I eventually realized that who gives a fuck if anyone thinks I'm gay just because I iron my clothes, polish my shoes, and pluck my unibrow? I've been called gay for eating altoids mints after lunch and for having hair on my fingers and...(you name it and someone will say you're gay for it). Seriously, I don't think it's offensive anymore to be called gay but many do.

There is a strong undercurrent of that sort of fear running through the Republican party and on college and high school campuses. The GOP suffers from severe sexual self-repression, gay and straight, as well as the need for forced sexual assault...because they're scared and need to prove how tough they are.
