I'm going to need you to explain what the double standard(s) is exactly.
Nice attempt at being coy.
So gay-bashers are - secretly - gay themselves.
By that logic, Christia-bashers are - secretly - Christians themselves.
See how easy that is? If it applies to one group of people, it HAS to apply to the other. Now... If you're going to say that's not true, you also have to admit that it's because you're operating with double standards. And that's hypocrisy.
You're giving me too much credit (thanks...I guess). I really didn't know what you were talking about.

I'm not seeing how being gay is comparable to being Christian. In the former, you have no choice, but in the latter, you do. You can be both, and both are labels that make people jump to conclusions about the person in question, but I don't see what else they have in common.

Seriously, your logic doesn't make any sense. I simply don't believe that just because you're bashing people for being something doesn't automatically mean that you're protesting too much. It's not that general, and I think that believing it is would mean abandoning common sense altogether. If I hate someone for being a serial killer, that doesn't mean that I'm secretly a serial killer. This does not apply across the board, and there is no reason why it should. However, in this particular case (homosexuality), it seems to apply to many. The only other example I can think of is race. I've heard of people hiding that they are technically African-American, and being vehement racists in the process in an attempt to hide their identities (not recently).

JefferySH's logic makes a lot of sense and he called you out on it. You instead play dumb and back peddle like crazy! Sorry BUB you cant have a double standard!

Certainly I'm not getting some lesson in logic from you. Your posts are amusing at best.
Honestly, bringing up this whole "gays who bash Christians are secretly Christian" has the potential to be offensive, am I right? Surely Christians who are also gay get sick of reading posts on here that imply that the two are mutually exclusive?
if this avalanche of posts are aspiring PR people wanting to work for the gay community, your posts are hurting that community. one poster has said something helpful. just one, today. asserting that the elderly lady that was assaulted by gays, had already knocked down a disabled gay protestor, pending confirmation of this assertion, this was a step forward and helpful.

No. Some of us just like to participate and voice our opinions.
Your statement is quite cynical.
