When it stops being true people will stop mentioning it. Let me know if you need lots of articles about conservative leaders caught in the act.
Look, it's basic psychology. I am straight so for me I don't get the desire to have gay sex. If I disproved of gay sex I still wouldn't want a law against it because I simply don't understand why anyone would want to engage in it. If I were in the closet and didn't approve of it of course I would want a law against it, because I would know how tempting it was. Drug laws do make a bit of sense because all of us have a desire to be free of cold unfeeling existence for a little while. Drugs are naturally tempting, unlike homosexuality which is only tempting to a small fraction of the population.
You need the right combination of wanting something and not approving of what you want. Any other combination is not going to result in that outcome.
The louder the homophobic rant, the deeper in the closet.
