@Graci I predict that a detailed investigation is going to find that 50% or more of the gibbering authoritarians on social media are closeted gay guys.

@gshevlin Only 50%?

@Graci I am extending the principle of charity.
Even so, one look at Nick Adams (for example) tells me, a straight guy with a poor gaydar, that he is (to use the old phrase) as bent as a three dollar bill.

@Graci A significant number of the GOP representatives and senators, IMHO, have lavender marriages. Mitch McConnell and Josh Hawley to name but two.

@gshevlin Definitely. And it's largely the conservatives. Go figure

@Graci They are trapped by their own exclusionary rhetoric, which demonizes non-binary sexuality. So they have to keep their own sexuality secret.
