That is my point entirely.

Why you are all in a huff about whether his latent homosexuality can be proven or disproven, I have no idea. I accuse of him of such because a) I think it is true and realizing it might make him accept it and move on from his childish, hateful slurs, and b) usually doing so infuriates homophobic jackasses like himself...

But I would also agree with your assessment of "blatant homophobe" in lieu of "latent homosexual." I personally do to think the latter term is a necessarily negative thing, unless it is repressed and festers into hatred and ignorant bigotry...as it has in the case of our ever-so-eloquent Canadian friend here...who is, indeed, a blatant homophobe.
