I guess you did. He dismissed the fight for queer as "gonadal politics."
When asked if he was gay, he responded to Michael Signorile that asking him that question was like asking if he still beat his wife (talk about psychopathology. LOL).

of gays, or "sexual issues"
His desire to ban ponography certainly makes him a threat on sexual issues. How far does his Puritanism run and whom does it threaten?

simply refused to talk about them in public, or as part of
a campaign for president?
Both. His clear uncomfortableness with body/sexual issues is problematic. He had to be pushed (twice!) just to say the words "gay marriage" during an interview on TV.
> could this be something like what those in the psychiatric
business used to call projection?
The projection involved here is by conservative, sexphobic leftists who are made uncomfortable by the reality of sexual fluidity and the consequent demand for the right of sexual self-determination. It is just the present day version of the lavendar scares of the 20th century that occurred within both the left and the right.
