I'm also sick of hearing that every bigoted homophobe must be gay. Most of them are just bigoted homophobes.

Posts like yours that quote this one study of self-identified homophobes are one of the reasons why the gays here on DU might be coming off as a bit "touchy" or whatever recently. This study doesn't show anything more than the fact that out of a group of 35 self-identified homophobes, some might experience some tumescence when shown a homosexual video, as do 24% of the group of 29 non-homophobic men. I'm sorry, but the sample size for this study is too small to mean anything to me. I don't know how any empirical evidence about the basis for anti-gay bigotry can found in a sample this small.

Tt must make the heterosexuals feel better about themselves or something when they can call the bigots gay. Of course the bigots are gay because straight people aren't bigoted, only repressed homosexuals are. Please. There is already enough heterosexist bias in the world.

I'm sorry my post isn't as well-worded as some, but I hope everyone will understand why this bigot=repressed nonsense irritates the hell out of some of us gays.
