I had no idea that homosexuality could be a threat to someone who is comfortable with their sexuality.

But it seems that Tony Abbott is:

Asked about his views on homosexuality he replied: "I probably feel a bit threatened, as so many people do... (but) it's a fact of life. I try to treat people as people and not to put them in pigeon holes.''

I wonder if this is like the politicians in the US who are vehemently opposed to homosexuality and then get caught in, um, compromising situations.
