PBS Frontline ^ | 1996 | Wright, Adams & Bernat

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."


TOPICS: Culture/Society; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: bs; conartists; doyouwantaride; gaycowboyseatpudding; havesomecandy; homophobia; homosexualagenda; howtocorruptsomeone; pillowbiters; quiz; repressed

Change the word homosexual to conservative and make the leftists take it, then we can have a new disorder called "conservaphobia" and charge the left with "hate crimes."

Well, I tested a fabulous 18 non-homophobic.

Oh...my...*God*! Wasn't that simply *divine*?

I did strongly agree that I make jokes about gay people. But then again, I make jokes about everyone. Gay people are far too...mmm..."sensitive", donchathink?

I also said I don't care either way about "gay marriage" because, I don't. Actually, I pretty much tell a lie. I used to not care so much that I thought it should be legal. But seeing as how the "Gay community" decided to act towards the Bush administration for the war on terrorism (I was living in SF at the time), I decided to piss them off and rain on their parade. I know, I know, collective punishment is cruel and unusual, but I couldn't give a damn. Yup, I actually told people around me that this is why I wouldn't "march" with them.

Somehow, I also don't think that organizations which "promote gay rights" are necessary because, well, they aren't. So I was against that and obviously it made my score go up closer into the "homophobic range". Duh.

It's a bogus test and it's a bogus set of answers and results.

And for the people who were too rushed for time to read everything carefully: if you answered "Strongly Disagree" with everything, you're not reading the questions and you won't get 100% anti-gay (or pro-gay). Some questions are "pro-gay" and some are "anti-gay", meaning you'll be screwing up your perfect score. Read it again and see what I mean.

Oh, and "metrosexual" is just another name for "immature sissy", in my book. I just had to say that.

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)?

The definition of love is perverted by those who claim anal sex is love... Love requires no sex... Anal sex is demeaned and rightly so -- just because one loves another does not require them to CHOOSE to engage in sexual activity regardless how unnatural, natural, safe, or unsafe. Many people love pets too -so what!

Unless you've cut yourself off from all outside contact you can't encounter these reminders of various folk's practicing heterosexuality in your own life.

Your argument is moral relatively based -premised upon the supposition that if something exists it is just as legitimate as anything else that exists and 'fairness' rather than just discrimination should be the rule. There are many things that exist that we should not embrace -you may just disagree with the majority that sets the cultural norm as to what those things are for yourself...

They didn't have a space for "I don't care"

That would be the middle one I think.

not really sure what your point is. Big difference between being gay and being child molestors.

The few gay people I've known were actually fearful of children.

The two child molestors I know -- one was straight, one was bi.

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

In his 1996 study of 64 white, male college students, Dr. Henry Adams classed 29 participants as "non-homophobic." Their mean score was 30.48. This is not conclusive, however. Dr. Adams, the researcher who helped develop this scale, writes that "a major difficulty of this area of research is in defining and measuring homophobia." Elsewhere, he cautions: Since there is no universally accepted definition of homophobia, the scales currently in use may not measure all aspects of homophobia.

IOW -- this test is meaningless since we can't gauge what we are measuring here.

IOOW: Everyone who is not gay is a Homophobe.

The way this test runs, unless you take an aggressively pro-homosexual agenda opinion on every question, you get rated as "homophobic."

Not at all.

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

Yet I answered that homosexuality was not acceptable to me did not agree with gay marriage and said that gay rights organization were not necessary.

1. Evidence shows there are precious few truly bi folks, and that the brunt of bi folks are lying they prefer one to the other but lack the courage to say so.

2. The nature of some disorders is to occur in tandam with others. Homosexuality has already been proven to be frequently co-morbid with depression. It is extremely likely that if one is homosexual they also have other sexual fetishes of which same sex intercourse is but one.

Once you start playing outside the sandbox, you're prone to play in any ol dirt you find yourself in. (Social psychology studies show that as well)

It says I'm homophobic.How can they tell when they didn't ask "Are you deathly afraid of homos?"
"Do you run screaming in fright at the sight of a queer?"
Isn't that what a phobia is?

I don't like food made out of brains, but I'm not a brainophobe.

I would maim or kill someone before I let them shoot me, but I'm not a getshotophobe.

Yet, according to gays, if you don't like the gay lifestyle, you are a homophobe.

Itlooks to me that gays have a phobia about being accepted.

Took the test, and got a 76--which they rate as "high-grade homophobic"

Methinks there's more weight on certain questions than others, and the fact it's on a PBS site makes me awfully suspicious...

There should be a test to determine whether sodomites are 'breederphobes' or not.
