The meme that homophobic people are in the closet is, in itself, not only factually wrong but also deeply homophobic.

It is factually wrong because, objectively, there are far more homophobes in conservative areas than there are gay people even in the most tolerant places.

And it is homophobic because it puts the blame of homophobia on the victims themselves. Yes, there are closeted gay and bisexual people who display performative homophobia to separate themselves from the LGBT community, but they are a tiny fraction of the homophobes.

I understand you mean well, but you are not helping the community.
