I guess from my point of view I can't determine for another person what their orientation is for them.  If they declare themselves to be not gay, then gay, then not gay.....I have no control over that nor can/should I attempt to judge what they are going through inside.  I have no right to determine if someone is supressing something unless they open up and tell me that they believe that they are supressing something.  So fundamentally I will take each person's situation as it is and view their altering sexuality however they want me to view it, and I will respect it in the same way I would want them to view my own.

As for any person that engaged in homosexual activity and then declared themselves "not gay" and suddenly became very "anti-gay" in their actions, I would indeed be very curious as to the cause of the dramatic change.  Did they get involved in some religious affiliation that is driving the vocal stance and if so I would likely not view it as hypocriitical so much as this person has made a significant choice in their life to make a big change.  I would probably not be around them, but I would not think of them as hypocritical.  The hypocrits in my book are the ones that are spouting off the anti-gay stuff and yet still engaging in the homosexual behavior behind the scenes (i.e. Rev. Haggard)

Just my 2 cents

Okay I know I'm sounding ignorant here, but who is (or was) Rev. Haggard? Religious figures, especially catholics, evangelists & muslims, are probably the most anti-gay of all, as far as they're concerned, we've chosen to be gay, to deliberately sin against god. Also what about the sapphic rumors concerned, amongst others, Madonna & Drew Barrymore (not those two being an item), just that they dabbled in some lesbian activity, especially Madonna, & Madonna is listed on altladies.com, on the "notable womyn" page featuring past & present, lesbian & bisexual women.

... And so the cycle begins again(probably), what a jerk! I wonder how long his wife will continue to support him, If and when he keeps getting caught out. As for the "miracle cure", it must be his faith, that which has instilled homophobia into him, by nurture, which has been conflicting with his homosexuality, that which was instilled into him by mother nature.

So the folks that I have major heartburn with are indeed the types like Rev. Haggard.  Yes Rev. Haggard was the leader of a HUGE church with more than 25,000 members and received millions from people nationwide and he preached major anti-gay messages the whole time he had a secret gay lover on the side and was also using church money to buy meth.  He was married and had 2 children.  After he went to his little fake treatment and came back to his fancy house in Colorado he has never ever appologized or come out and said that he was wrong or changed is opinion about homosexuality.  Major hypocrit.

Now others like Madonna or Drew, may or may not have engaged in gay or bi behavior (in Madonna's case she wrote about it, so I suspect it is true), but whatever the case it is their business and at least both of them have been VERY outspoken about gay rights and are some of our greatest advocates.  So they may be either dating or married to men today, but at least they have never bashed or in any way failed to stand up for homosexual rights in any way.  Thus just because they chose to have relationships with men I don't see them as hypocrits....I see them as advocates.

You don't have to always sleep with women to be friend and not foe.

Always thought Jackie Clune was brainwashed into becoming a lesbian.

Okay, I hold my feet up & say I was mistaken about the women I mentioned, but the fact Joy Brook won't fall in love with a woman ever again, makes her effectively staight, at least in the eyes of the wider community. Madonna & Guy Richie are now splitting up, but I somehow do not see Madonna finding love with another woman, & so all of those people that were not yet thought of in the early 90's, will associate Madonna with lesbianism! It would make my day though, If Madonna did enter into another lesbian relationship & marry her girlfriend, just like Ellen & Portia. My Fantasy is Madonna either getting together with Kylie Minogue, Geri Halliwell or Hillary Clinton, the latter would really cause shockwaves in both the showbiz & political worlds. The suggestion that Jackie Clune was "brainwashed into becoming a lesbian", is interesting, but I'm glad she has found happiness as a heterosexual, & I wish her all the best as a mother in a straight marriage.
