Homophobia more pronounced in those with unacknowledged attraction to the same sex

7. Yet one more study which will create problems.

I get sick of hearing everyone who is a homophobe is secretly gay. Yes, there will always be a few, but, believe it or not, some people hate gay people simply because the object of their hate is a gay person. Many homophobes are so because they are religious, some because of other reasons, and a few because they are self-loathing. But studies like this get "misread" and every homophobe becomes a "closet case." It simply isn't so. The actual article provides more information, but I feel many will hone in on "self-loathing" and stick to that premise.
