Disturbing Spoiler

I saw this movie the other night, I thought that it was most disturbing. In the same manner that "Boys Don't Cry" was. There was a lot of deceipt here. Fischer was just a horrible person, my question is does anyone think that the he had feelings for Winchell to some degree? It seems that he initiated going to the bar, was caught with one of the performers on more that one occasion. What do you think was is motive? The way that Fisher used Glover was a work of art, using Glover's homophobia in order to get at Winchell for some unspecified reason. What I'm trying to ask is, was Fisher homophobic or did he try to disguise his own uncertainy of his own sexuality by trying to foster his confusion off on Winchell. Am I making sense here?

The thing about homophobics is that a lot of them have their own confusions and frustrations about their sexual orientation. The fact that they might not be straight scares them, so they take out those frustrations on other people (LGBT in particular), thinking that their cruel treatment of those people somehow exonerates them from their own feelings and confusion.

That being said, I got the same vibe about Fisher. I don't know if his behavior in that sense was true to life, or whether the actor playing him added in those particular quirks. In any case, you could tell the character had a lot of frustrations of his own and was taking those out on the easiest target.
