It's a suggestion that those who denounce homosexuality the loudest are motivated by fear (or shame) that they themselves might be gay. There have been some high-profile examples.
I find it hard to believe that there is any English-speaker past puberty (let alone one who claims acquaintance with some large number of homosexuals) who does not know that “the closet” is a generations-old metaphor for secrecy, and that “coming out of the closet” means revealing one's homosexuality.
It's so far from obscure that it was the basis of a gag in Mad magazine's parody of Three's Company (a television series, 1977–1984).
Most of the gay people I've known were over thirty; maybe that accounts for the difference between your experience and mine (which includes sharing a flat with two; not a couple).
You seem to understand ‘homosexual’ as synonymous with ‘teenage boy’. I hope that when you grow up you'll get the chance to meet a few people who aren't just like you.
I once heard a lawyer say that when he switched on his tape recorder the FBI agents suddenly decided they didn't need to chat with his client after all.
I want to see the litigation when Albert Haddock paints over your snowman with a totally different snowman (perhaps making a lewd gesture) in a totally different snowstorm.

I also enjoy the Chief trying to spin the story that the neighbors were all happy these people were dead now b/c they were bad.
And then when he was called on that, pivoting to “That's what the neighbors always say, they had no idea he was a serial killer, yada yada.”
