It is commonly true that those most opposed to gay rights, are those with repressed homosexual urges. Well, surprise, surprise, there is scientific proof that is exactly the case.

An an article in Scientific American shows that of two groups of self-reported heterosexual males (one being homophobic and one non-homophobic), the homophobic group showed a good deal of sexual reponse on a penile plethysmograph that measured their sexual stimulation to three different kinds of pornography.

By the way, the homophobic and non-homophobic criteria were based on answers to a questionnaire. The pornography was male/female, lesbian and male/male. The non-homophobic and homophobic were both stimulated strongly by the first two groups, but the non-homophobic were only slightly stimulated according to the meters, by the gay male porn.

Well, the homophobic group was though, pretty excited by the gay male pornography. In fact, 80% of the homophobic group showed a moderate to definite response to this pornograpy v. 34% for the non-homophobic group. That is an overwhelming difference in reaction between the two groups.

In a second study, homophobic males in a type of game, delivered longer and more intense shocks to individuals they believed were gay males v the shock that non-homophobic males gave to gay males. Both homophobic and non-homophobic males delivered the same type and range of shocks to what they believed were heterosexual males.

There was of course, no actual males, gay or not, being shocked. This was after viewing gay pornography. Obviously the gay pornography set off anger and emotional trauma in the repressed, homophobic males.

How'd they reach this conclusion?

The article seems kinda poorly written, but I'd say I do too.

Well, the study isn't new - the Scientific American article he is talking about is from last year, the first study from 1996 and the second from 2001. Neither study has been without disagreement (not that that means a lot - if there is a scientific theory without disagreement, I would have trouble believing it was scientific). Both samples seemed pretty small to me though, and in any case, it isn't anymore official than it was before - I am personally more persuaded by the Meier study (also mentioned in the Scientific American article). I don't really find the secret attraction argument all that compelling from a logical standpoint.

Okay, how about some anecdotal evidence? I know, hearsay, but I saw this unfold before my very eyes.

When I first jioned RMRK, I was at the Burns Harbor plant of Mittal Steel, working fire/EMS. One of our guys, "Roy", was an Ironclad, card-carrying homophobe. I never knew so much hate speech could come from someone who was so active in his community and church. When we got our permanent shift dispatcher, who was openly gay, Roy damn near quit on the spot. He always used a lot of "f" words when Paul was around...

 We were also on the local VFD, so we had several occasions to mingle with our families. His son was always kinda withdrawn, but I figured it had to do with him being a smaller kid; not the kind of son a proud, macho fireman would want. He seemed to love the kid, though, so I never gave it a second's thought.

Turns out that Mr. "I hate faggots" had not only been seeing numerous men on the side (who also were known in the fire service as homophobes) but he'd aslo been raping his son for the past 14 years.

So, while the research IS old, and the experiment not conducted as cleanly as it should have been, it fits in with a behavioral pattern that I have seen before. Good enough for me.

WOW!!!!! That firefighter guy sounds just like that cop guy from boondock saints:/ But yeah, from what i know, apparently homophobes are just afraid that they would end up being gay under certain circumstances and it scares them. I say who cares. Ive never had a problem with gay people, and the ones who are my friends respect me and have never tried to hit on me, so in turn i respect them.

I'm saying it's an interesting corollary, but that's about all.
