Poor Mojo's Two Minute Hate

The protagonist is a gay man who posed in a straight role because he felt the gay part of himself was "repulsive and dark." Despite tricking a woman into marriage and achieving enormous success in a field that demanded spotless heterosexuality, privately Ted did not have an easy time maintaining his big lie. He had evil thoughts that led to evil actions, and Ted was forced to declare war on himself. He considered those fleeting moments when he repressed who he really was to be times of "victory" and "freedom." Ted also declared war on other people like him by leading literally millions to reject gays as equals and even to specifically shove their second-class status in their queer faces....

I'm not sure this story will satisfy certain strict academic definitions of tragedy however, because there will probably be no recognition by the protagonist of his "fatal flaw." But that only makes the hero more pitiful.
