This is a "legitimate" test in-so-far as it was developed by researchers at the University of Georgia. It was designed to test the theory that homophobia is a manifestation of repressed homosexual desire. The researchers reported difficulty finding heterosexual men who were "high-grade non-homophobic."

[GOP_Thug_Mom]

My score: 65

And I wasn't even tryin'!

[Antoninus]

I scored "homophobic." Do I qualify under the ADA now?

[Antoninus]

Oh, HOMOphobic. I thought it was HOBOphobic(?)

I actually turned out "homoiphobic." (For those of you who are up on your early Church heresies.

[Antoninus]

Seriously, would you like to have your love for someone demeaned, and told it's not really love, but a "pathology of self-love (whatever that is)?

It's not the "love" most people have a problem with. It's the sodomy.

If you're confused, here's an easy rule to live by: Love doesn't smell like poop.

[Antoninus]

Hate them fags. No place for them in this world.

Welcome to FR, noob...I mean, troll.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You signed up tomorrow to tell us that?

[lilylangtree]

Good for you! You go girl! :)

[lilylangtree]

Amen! Agree with you. I believe the vocab buzz word is thrown around carelessly and quite overused by people (or spoiled children) pushing to blame others for their own faults.

[hosepipe]

Normality test...(3 questions)

1) Are queers, queer to you?..
2) Are queers normalphobic?..
3) Is Richard Simmons in a chicken suit protesting the murder of chickens, at Cornel Sanders, strange to you?..

Note: 1 point per question.. A score of less than 3 makes YOU a MoonBat.. an especially queer one..

[MoochPooch]

I scored 54 (not bad, for a girl). Probably should have been lower, since I may have answered incorrectly on some.

If 50 is considered non-homophobe, I guess this makes me right of center. Figures, since that's what I am, politically.

[napscoordinator]

That is so disgusting. I am glad that I don't read the same papers...LOL.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I only scored either 1's or 5's and I only got a 44? LOL

[Clint N. Suhks]

I think you are presuming only "born-agains" are the only ones who reject the practice of perversion. Real Conservatives reject homosexuality on philosophical grounds.

[Delphinium]

60 - Your score rates you as "homophobic."

I am not afraid of homosexuals,but I am afraid of their agenda. I believe they should be able to do what they want, just keep it out of my face.

Trouble is, they aren't satisfied with that, so I have to speak out against their lifestyle.

[Delphinium]

No self-respecting cowboy would herd sheep (either).

My dad was a real self-respecting cowboy and he did both.

And no one would have dared show him disrepect. They don't make men like that any more.

[decal]

"36 - Your score rates you as "non-homophobic."

Shrug. See the tagline.

[AD from SpringBay]

No, I'm not presuming that.

What I was trying to do was to show how myopic the whole test is. The concept of being homophobic and the idea that the only reason a person is against homosexuality is because they are afraid of becoming one is ridiculous. Some people don't like mimes. Does that mean they're afraid of becoming one? Probably not.

And yes, I reject homosexuality on Biblican grounds.

[colorcountry]

Yep, I'm tired of them saying cowboys don't herd sheep. Yes they do...some cowboys like my dad had herds of both.
