Study: Homophobes May Be Hidden Homosexuals

Quote:

Homophobes should consider a little self-reflection, suggests a new study finding those individuals who are most hostile toward gays and hold strong anti-gay views may themselves have same-sex desires, albeit undercover ones.

The prejudice of homophobia may also stem from authoritarian parents, particularly those with homophobic views as well, the researchers added.

Everyone that is a homophobe needs to take another look at themselves.

But seriously, who here hasn't already thought this was true?

Raises hand. I thought phobias were genetic.

Can they see themselves in mirrors? If I walk through the Castro district in San Francisco with garlic around my neck, will I be safe? What if Miss Garlic isn't really a woman? Will I get a refund? Do I need to keep my receipt?

I almost feel sorry for them. Living like that must twist your guts/mind up in a terrible way, BUT when they make other gay people's lives more difficult and dangerous my sympathy goes out the window.

Much like former Mayor Jim West of Spokane, who had built a career on homophobia - only to lose his job in a special election, after it was discovered he was contacting young gay men on municipal computers. Or former Senator Larry Craig, who, after building a career also on homophobia, got outed after he had admitted to a morals charge in an airport restroom with an undercover cop.

No, really?? They needed a study to figure that out??

And they say autistics have no common sense.

Jeez-- somebody got PAID for that.

This isn't the first study to find this. Not very surprising.

Homophobes aren't "hidden" homosexuals. Everyone knows they're homosexuals.

The really hidden homosexuals are the ones who never talk about gay people at all. They're like ninjas. :batman:

This could be a possibility. Many virulent anti-semites have a Jewish background they would like to hide or eliminate.
