I, for one, am sick of this crap. Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #60

Nonsense. Gays are not responsible for homophobia. Nothing in the study makes them responsible. Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #63

No, the study is still crap. Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #66

"associated" does not mean "always" or "in everybody". It means there is a correlation. nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #67

Tell that to the "good" people who use the study that way. n/t Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #68

I can't. As you say, examples are rare & you haven't linked any. You can tell them too. nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #69

There are examples throughout this thread. Have at it. Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #70

Link to one. Ball is in your court, since it is your assertion. nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #71

Not too difficult Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #73

Right, there was no time limit, yet YOU brought it up. Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #77

You wrote "time limit". Not me. That was the first mention. Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #79

You were the first to imply there was one with the 20-hour comment. Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #81

There was not even an implication of a time limit. Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #84

Your post is nothing but convoluted misstating of events. Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #85

I don't understand what your doing here. William769 Jan 2014 #88

Study doesn't say that some homophobes being gay makes gays responsible for homophobia. Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #89

That is honestly the impression I got from the study, too cinnabonbon Jan 2014 #92

i think it does apply to homophobic women noiretextatique Jan 2014 #78

I already stated that some homophobes are that way because of same-sex feelings. Behind the Aegis Jan 2014 #80

Your excerpt is not part of the study you object to. To be clear. So nobody thinks that it is. nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2014 #82
