Drivel.
I don't fault M.Smith for being a closeted homosexual. I fault M.Smith for being a psychopathic fraud. His belabored, grandiose ploy might yet baffle simple minds, but it doesn't baffle me.

Freddie Mercury never Came Out as a Gay Man, Either
So everything Secret Alias has written testifying to Morton Smith being a slandered heterosexual is now proven rubbish? Oh dear. Color me surprised. And what a hill to die on ...
