Agreed there... but the including homosexual references in his works vs him being a homophobe... I think it's like the Hitler syndrome... it's been rumoured that Hitler had g
ay tendencies, yet hated homosexuals. He was part Jewish, and hates Jews. Wanted everyone to be blonde and blue-eyed, but he was dark-haired and brown-eyed. See what I'm getting at? Just a theory...
