Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

I can guarantee you the people who voted these things as being "morally wrong" only believe it's wrong if someone else is doing it

Actually, it's the other way around. Gayness (the sexuality) doesn't cause homophobia. Being homophobic causes you to have a fetish for gay stuff. These homophobic politicians being caught on grindr aren't actually gay, they weren't born gay. The fact that they see sex with men as wrong caused them to want it. They're in it for the taboo.

All sex is pretty meh for conservatives. At least the men they fuck are having fun. It's more pleasurable to fuck someone who likes your cock than someone who's disgusted by your existence like their wives are.
