Psychologists Show Homophobia To Be Driven By Disgust, Not Fear

Quentin Crisp, a horrid old English Queen, now dead said the same thing years ago.

When you meet someone and find out about them you immediately imagine yourself doing what they do, cook, lawyer, fireman, whatever. The same if true when a heterosexual meets a homosexual. He imagines himself engaged in those acts and is repulsed. It was not something other fags wanted to hear.

I found this quote from that study to be interesting:

"While fear causes a "get me away from that" reaction, disgust manifests as "get that away from me."
