"Gay people were regarded as vulnerable to blackmail, even if they were open and out about their sexuality."

See, the first half of that sentence had some logic to it, but, after the comma, things start falling apart.

Okay, I give up. What does the "switch hitter" bit in the subject refer to? Isn't that a baseball position or something?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I believe it refers to a secret agent, a.k.a. James Bond, suddenly seducing men instead of women.

In the US, bi or gay people are sometimes called switch hitters. In baseball, it means they bat both left & right handed.
