Everyone has an Achilles heel. What is Musk's?

125. I didn't know that Vance was raised Catholic.

I thought that his childhood religious experience was Fundamentalist Protestant and he converted to Catholicism later.

I have known a couple of gay men who tried to conform to religious expectations on sexuality. One of them was a guy that I'll call "Joe." I knew Joe decades ago, back when I was 18. My then boyfriend and I double dated with him and his girlfriend, both of whom were Catholic. My boyfriend told me once that he thought that Joe might be gay because he seemed indifferent to women when other guys talked about them. I shrugged it off as idle gossip.

Decades later, after moving out of state, I encountered Joe when in my home town visiting relatives. He was openly gay, had a husband, and was well established and respected as a ranking member of the police department.

The other closet gay is someone that I knew as a co-worker years ago. He was a religious fundamentalist who seemed miserable in his marriage. He was misogynistic toward his wife and other women, maybe out of resentment for feeling pressured into a way of life that he didn't like? I don't know. The marriage ended when he found a boyfriend and skipped town.

Vance reminds me of the guy in that second couple, except that Vance doubles down on the religion and misogynistic attitudes toward women.
