Yes, yes, yes ! After I posted this I realized I should of made this point. I feel that just because some may not like gays, this in no way means they are repressed. People fear what they don't know, that is all. It is the rabid homophobes that are more likely to be acting on
repressed homosexual issues. Anger and hate, while directed at others, often have more to do with the actual personjames
