Anti-Gay Teen Talk Show Host

[Jackalope]

Now that you mention it I agree.

I've actually debated people like this (Lars Larson, specifically) and I swear my athei-dar (kind of like gay-dar) was going off. I can't prove it but I couldn't help but think he didn't believe a word of what he was spouting. I believe that people like this kid are actors playing a troll-ish role and making good money doing it.

When Lars only had a local show, his persona was quite different. Still conservative, but not rabid. He was, at least at the time, much less of a douchebag off air.

I think your analysis is right on.
