who rail against a certain sexual behavior are also engaging in it?

How many of these guys would you say are hypocrites?

2. I'm thinking there could be some truth to that.

All these scandals....

You know, I forget the psychological term, but it seemed so theoretical at the time, describing the volition that people take up against something when they see it in themselves. I thought it was amusing, at the time, and probably had some truth to it.

But, this is really something else. I'm beginning to think that just about anyone who exhibits serious homophobia, religious or otherwise, is probably gay.

And anyone who speaks down to "fornication" is probably hiring hookers weekly.

Even drug use...

I guess I'm saying that I believe that the one-way correlation between the two is probably very strong. The psychology behind it, and more generally behind neo-con, authoritarian, fearful thinking, has become so clear in these past few years. They're just transparent as hell, now.

Oh my, if people only knew what happened during some of those Road to Victory conferences in the Washington Hilton.

If I only had a picture of what I saw Rabbi Daniel Lapin doing in the hot tub that night...

4. sex addicts might not be quite right, more like
sex "obsessed", or sexually stunted.

6. true, actually, i think it was addicted to "porno" that was said
rather than sex.

5. I think the vast majority of them are just bigots.
However, when one of them is gay, it will naturally be a spectacular fall.

7. yeah, similar to those who are anti choice
but we find out they either had or supported someone they knew who had an abortion.

it's common with politicians like John McCain and Dan Quayle who when asked about their own daughters they said they would support them if they decided to get an abortion while wanting to criminalize it for others.

bigots, hypocrites, etc.
