I am sure there are many many scrupulously and narrowly heterosexual homophobic godbotherers of course who don't get the press, but in a society where acceptance of a range of sexualities is getting more the norm (broader society of course, the RCC remains thoroughly medieval here as is its wont), you'd think there wouldn't be that many closeted basket cases screeching bile while scanning M4M listings on Craigslist left to expose.
On the other hand I must admit he was honest. Performing gay sex acts does indeed rid one of "pseudo homosexuality". The pseudo part, that is.
