So its not entirely just a stereotype. They have done studies on it, and it holds remarkably true. I'll see if I can find one of them for you.

Edited to add a link to the study: Homophobia study

Thank you for citing sources, remarkable that there is statistically an interaction. I wonder what other common phenomena people may be in denial about?

You know that's literally not what the study says right... ?

It says there is a correlation between homophobia and sexual arousal from homosexual visual stimulus. I'm not sure what you mean?

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

It does not say "most homophobes are gay".

Which is the topic of the thread.
