@Dotard:

http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-anti-g...gay/joanne

There is a list of just 10. You can add to that list Pastor Tom Brock, Senator Roy Ashburn (who voted heavily against gay rights), and Ken Mehlman, the campaign manager behind Bush's re-election as well as many anti-gay legislation.

An article by "The Week" was an interesting read, not just because it highlighted the trend, but because it also referenced a psychology paper which links homophobia to homosexual arousal. The study behind the paper found that out of two groups of men (homophobic & non-homophobic), the only group that "showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli" was the homophobic group.

Link to the paper in the journal: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8772014
Link to the full paper (in case you can't get it through the above link): http://danielasartori.com/homophobia_hom...t_Lohr.pdf

Never mind that

Quote:Change over time

In addition, major historical shifts can occur in reports of the prevalence of homosexuality. For example, the Hamburg Institute for Sexual Research conducted a survey over the sexual behavior of young people in 1970, and repeated it in 1990. Whereas in 1970 18% of the boys aged 16 and 17 reported to have had same-sex sexual experiences, the number had dropped to 2% by 1990.[30] "Ever since homosexuality became publicly argued to be an innate sexual orientation, boys' fear of being seen as gay has, if anything, increased", the director of the institute, Volkmar Sigusch, suggested in a 1998 article for a German medical journal.[31]

Correct me if I am mistaken, that study had approx. 70 participants? And then add on 10 or so public figures who spoke out against homosexuality, for probably no other reason than they thought it would help provide job security, who got caught being gay.

And we all get painted with that same brush? All of us? Sounds bigoted or prejudicial statement being made there.

I can see many reasons that study could have been skewed.

"Do you like gay people?"
"No."
"HOMOPHOBE!!! Off to the left side of the room with you!"


If I was shown gay porn I would close my eyes and imagine pussy to get that offensive image out of my head. We have no way of determining if that or something simular was happening. Also we have no idea who they chose to participate in that study. For all I know they could have done it in San Francisco and gay folks were just claiming to be hetero and disliking gays in order to purposefully skew the results to bolster their claims hetrosexual men who announce their dislike of gays must be gay themselves.


I am not claiming something like this DID happen, I'm saying it may have so I just take your study with a grain of salt and hold in question it's validity.

Hardy 'proof' that a "surprising number" of folks with sexual prejudice are gay themselves. Unless a handful constitutes a 'surprising number' to you.

Only if you think there's something wrong with being gay.

Quote:"Do you like gay people?"
"No."
"HOMOPHOBE!!! Off to the left side of the room with you!"

I fail to see how that couldn't be defined as homophobia.

That's fine, but how is that image 'offensive'?

Quote:For all I know they could have done it in San Francisco and gay folks were just claiming to be hetero and disliking gays in order to purposefully skew the results to bolster their claims hetrosexual men who announce their dislike of gays must be gay themselves.

Or for all you know it could be accurate.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln

Really? You honestly think that a possibility? Damn, why don't you just whip out the tin foil hat now, bro. The gays are obviously plotting to take over the world, better safe than sorry.
