They couldn’t be up front about it. They hate that part of themselves. If they could cut it out with a knife, they likely would. They were self hating, which might have been the reason why they championed some of the legislation they did.
“They hate that part of themselves.”
I find that hard to believe. Thousands of homosexuals have left the lifestyle because they see it as extremely unhealthy and vile. It’s definitely a behavioral choice. Foley, in particular, chose to embrace the lifestyle so I don’t see him “hating” it at all. If a person truly hates sin, then they will turn away from it. Just like a drug addict has a choice to go to treatment. If they continue to shoot up every day, then they are selfishly choosing the drugs.
