13. If you KNOW it to be fact, that is one thing.

It is quite another to consider speculation "fact". For every ONE of "politicians who have been caught have been ones who have been vocal in anti gay....EVERYTHING", I can provided 20 to 100 examples (and no, I am not being hyperbolic) of politicians who have engaged in homophobic acts and never did anything which would bring into question their sexual orientation.

It doesn't matter if "some of your best friends are gay", I am explaining to you, the "homophobes are really secret homos" meme is offensive as hell and homophobic, in of itself. If, notice that word, IF, the person(s) who are homophobic are then caught in homosexual acts, THEN call them out for hypocrisy, do not do it preemptively!
