My uncle was a US congressman from Indiana - one of the most anti-gay out there. Not only am I, his niece, bi, but he set off everyone who I introduced to him's "gaydar", so to speak.
It has been noted that those who are the most virulently homophobic are often gay, themselves. They hate the fact that they are gay and massively overcompensate.
The way this was studied was with a sample of men who claimed to be straight who were asked to rate themselves with regard to homophobia. A monitor was then placed on the penis and they were shown male homoerotic imagery.
The men who self-described themselves as most homophobic were more likely to experience erections while watching the male-male porn than those straight men who did not consider themselves homophobic.
As the cliche goes, the lady doth protest too much.
