I'd say I'm as straight as they come, but if anyone mentions terms related to homosexuality I have the greatest trouble preventing myself from conjuring the imagery. Sometimes I do it for the purpose of examining the issue.

All people have "dark thoughts". Morbid curiosity, confusion, accosting, a desire to understand the enemy...take everyone, to some extent, into those recesses of imagination.

The trick is to earnestly avoid dwelling on any of that and to furiously reject the attitude of "Pfff, it's really not all that bad."

To be perfectly honest, this is just sad now. I aaaaaaaalmost pity him.

I aaaaaaaaalmost feel bad about the shit I said about him.

Just get out of the closet already.

Look yourself in the mirror.

You'll be doing everybody a favor, especially yourself.
