i know someone like that. . .actually *used* to know is more accurate. she went through a lot of personal drama in her life, became very religious as a result, and then poof, decided that homosexuality was the root of all evil. it's just easier for some people to project their frustrations about life and self onto some abstract notion ("gays are corrupting the moral fabric of our nation!") than to deal with the complexities of every day existence.

very very sad.
