But who's to say that the people in question
aren't doing this? Perhaps their true values include a negative view of homosexual activity and it's their personal life,
not their political life, in which they are failing to live up to those values?
Not to mention, there's also seretogis' scenario as a possibility. And really, I'm thinking there's quite a few possibilities besides these two.
And at any rate, even if there is hypocrisy, what is the practical difference to a voter in getting a straight anti-gay rep versus getting a closeted anti-gay rep? Besides the opportunity for petty humiliation of the closeted one, I mean.
