"I'm not gay. I just have a personal relationship with this man, who I love, and I drink his blood and partake of his flesh every Sunday."
Anyone notice how a lot of Christian stuff sounds gay? And kinky? "I'm in love with Jesus. He comes first in my life."
Maybe the anti-lgbtq+ stuff is partly to make straight men more comfortable with that. "It's ok to say I'm in love with Jesus because we don't allow anyone to be gay."
It's like that one guy who loudly acts homophobic while hitting on other guys.
