Why the fuck do they have to be gay? Like why do gay people always have to be blamed for the hate? Just because there's been a few closeted pieces of shit doesn't mean every fascist is.

Yeah people like them just want to be homophobic, and extremely likely transphobic and queerphobic, but want to look like they aren’t a complete waste of oxygen. Fuck those people, utter assholes

Every fascist is a closeted piece of shit, but it has nothing to do with sexuality. They all know deep in their hearts that they're fascists, but they act and claim that they're not the fascist, it's everyone else who's a fascist. And they resort to violence anytime someone points out that they're a fascist, because everyone was raised to understand that fascists are weak, scared, little cosplay strongpeople, and their only defense is offense.

The closeted homophobia could be a contributing factor for some, but the closeted "fasciphobia" is very real for almost all of them. There are those few who proudly call themselves fascists, and they strike fear into the hearts of every closeted fasciphobe who are not yet willing to be seen shoulder to shoulder with an openly fascist pile of crap.

I think this is more accurate a year ago. Also let's not lend queer language to them.

Is "closeted" queer language? I've never found consistent etymology or history of the word, but language is obviously driven by society. I really hope I haven't been offending my friends throwing around that word all William-Nilliam... I'm not the most tapped-in person to culture, and even then, I'm unbelievably slow to catch on.

Ya a quick read not too many other things have ever really used the language in such a consistent way.
