Oh definitely. While it's not a given that bigoted folks are closeted, it's worth noting that there's been some studies showing it's not just a joke: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/homophobes-might-be-hidden-homosexuals/
Your take on it seems likely in other cases, and/or some combo of both.
