While this is an over simplification, these people believe that homosexuality is immoral but have a strong urges for same sex sexual relations, so they transfer these impulses towards fighting homosexuality; and since this only partially works, they end up acting on their impulses. |
I've heard something like that before. But regardless of the reasoning for their hypocrisy, it makes for interesting headlines in our attention hungry media.
