Do homophobic people actually fear their own unconscious feelings? A new study suggests that people who repress their own sexual attraction to the same sex are more likely to express hostility towards gays.
"In many cases these are people who are at war with themselves and they are turning this internal conflict outward," study co-author Dr. Richard Ryan, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, said in a university written statement.
In four separate experiments conducted in the U.S. and in Germany, each involving an average of 160 college students, researchers attempted to measure any differences between what people say about their sexual orientation and how they actually react. Their findings are published in the April issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
For one experiment, researchers used word and picture tests to subliminally prime participants with either the word "me" or "others," and then asking them to place the words and images into "gay" or "straight" categories. A second experiment had participants browse same-sex or opposite-sex photos to test implicit - or unconscious - same-sex attraction. Other experiments measured participants' levels of homophobia through questionnaires or asked about participants' upbringings and their parents' perspectives.
All together, the study showed that participants with parents accepting of homosexuality were more open and aware of their implicit sexual orientation, while those with authoritative parents were more likely to deny their implicit sexual orientation. The researchers found participants who said they were heterosexual but revealed different reactions on their implicit tests were more likely to act with hostility toward gay people.
"In a predominately heterosexual society, 'know thyself' can be a challenge for many gay individuals. But in controlling and homophobic homes, embracing a minority sexual orientation can be terrifying," study co-author Dr. Netta Weinstein,

These assclowns can’t figure out the difference between revulsion and genuine homophobia. Plenty of people dislike homosexuality for a large number of rational reasons.
Here's a little problem with homosexuality that you won't find reported in the media, and have hard time researching on the internet: Pedophiles are EXPONENTIALLY more likely to be homosexual. How do we know this? 27% of all women and 16% of all men report being the victims of some incident of sexual abuse as children. But women are far more likely than men to report this. So somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of all sexual abuse victims are boys. Meanwhile, virutally ALL sex crimes against children are committed by men. And just 2% of all men are gay. Do the math. Taking homosexual and hetrosexual males as seperate distinct groups, an extremely disproportionate group of all pedophiles are gay men.
I believe my conclusion here has more scientific basis than the "study" in this article.
I doubt REAL mean men ever doubt THEIR manlineth.
I know I don't doubt mine, but I do doubt others at times.
Now if YOU feel that others MAKE you doubt YOUR manlineth...???
How convenient.
And Obama is just like Ronald Reagan. Nobody would believe that one if I made it up.
I bet the writer of this column hates roaches - maybe he just has this repressed sub-conscious thing for roaches.
“the only thing that ‘frightens’ me about homos is what I would do to them if they molested anyone in my family”

Disgust.
So heterophobia practed by militant, vile homosexuals really means they have opposite-sex attraction and it’s deep-seated and driving them crazy? That’s the logic this study would claim for heterosexuals also applied logically to homosexuals.
Propaganda alert!
might not agree with you about intellectual property but on this we see eye to eye.
Haha...these guys never have an original thought, do they? Just keep repeating the same B.S., hoping to convince people through repetition.
Sad thing is, it works on a lot of people that aren’t paying attention.
“correction: not “-phobia.” -disdain.”
Homodisdainia............nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! The title is enough. So my suppressed feelings for screwing some guy in the ass is my reason for not going along....These folks kill me.
***What the hell is homophobia? Phobia suggests fear of. I’m not the least bit fearful of the disgusting freaks****
Disgust? Sounds like you have a case of (trumpets and flourishes please)....HOMOMISA, a disgust of homos. Some also have ISLAMOMISA, A disgust of Islam.
uh yeah, that’s the ticket.
Listen, when I was in the Army, a surgeon general came to give a talk and one of the asides was this: The human poop chute was designed as an exit, not an entrance.
Homosexuals give a lot of normal heteros the creeps. End of story.
Homophobia is like a gag reflex.
Homophobia is a misnomer, it’s not the fear of queers, but the revulsion of them.
It should be called homonausem.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
Studies like this have a political motivation.
