Showing Original Post only (View all)New Science Confirms Homophobic Men Have Intense Homosexual Impulses [View all]
From the article:
The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of non-homophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. PMID: 8772014 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Yep.....someone please tell Bryan Fischer and the folks at the Family Research Council to come out of the closet.

OP
You are confusing application to individuals versus statistical studies

It may be that the increase in the chart is not statistically significant. i.e. > 0.05

Yes, we would like a bigger better study. Seems like a fruitful area of research. nt

I know I posted this study here ears ago. It's from 1996. The full paper is available online.

Yes, the OP's title "New Science" is deliberately or ignorantly misleading. nt

Let's hook up Sociology Prof. Mark Regnerus (Univ. of Texas @ Austin) and see how he fares...

Isn't that why the term uses the suffix "-phobia" rather than the prefix "miso-?"

Two meanings of "homo": 1) same (uniformity) antonym of hetero; 2) genus of humans. nt

This explains why I never understood the over the top revulsion especially by jocks.

Nonsense. Gays are not responsible for homophobia. Nothing in the study makes them responsible.

"associated" does not mean "always" or "in everybody". It means there is a correlation. nt

I can't. As you say, examples are rare & you haven't linked any. You can tell them too. nt

That does not apply. Also, it was posted yesterday and you haven't done what you want others to do.

No, it's your example. You're attempting to lead from behind with your example.

Study doesn't say that some homophobes being gay makes gays responsible for homophobia.

I already stated that some homophobes are that way because of same-sex feelings.

Your excerpt is not part of the study you object to. To be clear. So nobody thinks that it is. nt
