Please don't form opinions about a large group using a sample size of 1. That's the worst way to do things.....ok maybe not the worst way, that would be ouija board. But it's a not too distant second. You are so right. That would be as bad as claiming all religion is bad because some people use it to do bad things or all republicans are racist because I heard some of them say really shitty things or even all liberals are lazy because some of them would rather sit on welfare than hold down a job.

quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 quote: ORIGINAL: Kirata quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Who knows....... I certainly dont since he never posts much that is relevant. It only seems irrelevant to you because I'm not talking about the planet you live on. One theory is that homosexual urges, when repressed out of shame or fear, can be expressed as homophobia... It’s a compelling theory — and now there is scientific reason to believe it. In this month’s issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, we and our fellow researchers provide empirical evidence that homophobia can result, at least in part, from the suppression of same-sex desire. ~New York Times, April 27, 2012 The evidence points to repressed homosexual arousal being the underlying cause of primary homophobia. But, in all fairness, that comes with the caveat that I only mean here on Earth. K. Lmfao........ I always took you as patronising but never as completely stupid...until now. Are you really suggesting your link At least in part now equates to you claim Underlying cause He got busted using a bad study and now he's desperate. Although this study is at least interesting. He even had to ignore the concluding paragraph of the article he linked. quote: It’s important to stress the obvious: Not all those who campaign against gay men and lesbians secretly feel same-sex attractions. But at least some who oppose homosexuality are likely to be individuals struggling against parts of themselves, having themselves been victims of oppression and lack of acceptance. The costs are great, not only for the targets of anti-gay efforts but also often for the perpetrators. We would do well to remember that all involved deserve our compassion.

You would benefit more from taking a look in the mirror. quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Are you really suggesting your link At least in part now equates to you claim Underlying cause The dynamics of repression and reaction formation have been observed in clinical settings for decades, and the available evidence confirms repressed homosexual arousal as the underlying cause of primary homophobia. It perhaps bears recalling that in the first study cited it was only the homophobes who responded with arousal to the homosexual stimuli. A secondary form of homophobia can arise when children and youth internalize a fear and loathing of homosexuals communicated to them by significant caretakers and respected leaders. But while these internalized attitudes can be ameliorated through social pressure, as we are seeing today, ego-defenses tend to be refractive to influence. In the final analysis, it is social pressure that produces both kinds of homophobes. But in the atheistic Soviet Union, the penal code required that "sexual relations between men" be punishable "by prison terms of up to five years,” whereas in the United States today the majority of mainline Protestants and Catholics are accepting of homosexuality. So the point is, we are dealing here with the usual anti-religious bigots whose cranky blame-religion chorus is nothing more or less than a clown act fueled by ignorance and bile. K.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen He got busted using a bad study and now he's desperate. Bad study my ass. It was well-designed, well-executed, and passed strict peer-review. In any other case, you'd complain if a study wasn't published in a major peer-reviewed journal. The only reason you're whining about this one is because it contradicts the twisted imaginings that you mistake for reality. And frankly, I'm surprised you're not used to that by now. They've always been wrong in the past. K.

FR I wonder if it might help to distinguish between clinical homophobia and political/moral disapproval of homosexuality.

quote: ORIGINAL: dcnovice FR I wonder if it might help to distinguish between clinical homophobia and political/moral disapproval of homosexuality. Only in the sense that 'clinical phenomena' run the risk of being precisely that - phenomena that occur in clinics and nowhere else. I'm far from convinced that homophobia(s), including the internalised varieties, has any origin other than in the political/moral sphere. Can I recommend a study of the history of 'sexology' and in particular, medical/scientific discourses on human sexuality? When I was doing my thesis, I had to acquaint myself fairly deeply with this history and the 'literature' it produced. I started off taking it seriously as one should, but after not too long, my reaction to the incredible levels of sexism and sexual phobias permeating the literature was to take it as seriously as I take comics. I suspect comics have done far less damage though sometimes they fail to reach the stellar levels of comedy that characterise the literature. The title of Stoller's influential work "Perversion: The Erotic Form of Hatred" offers an insight into what I am referring to. The lasting effect has been to leave me with a deep distrust of anything than emanates from so-called clinical/scientific/medical/psychological 'studies' of sexual behaviour and allied areas

~FR~ What I don't get about this, and probably never will . . . I have SO much to do, to address, to work through, to maintain, that I can't imagine giving a fuck about what anyone does in their bedroom or whomever they marry (short of something that would harm either party). I can't imagine a world where so many people have time to spare from their own busy lives to meddle with the lives of others so unnecessarily. The "harming the institution of marriage" argument often touted is as ridiculous as the "they're stealing our Christmas" one -- in both case, if that's the case for you, your understanding of either is extremely weak and poor. That's your actual problem. Start there--with the self.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen When you get busted using crap studies from nearly 20 years ago and then get caught misrepresenting newer ones it is your own fault not anyone else's. Attacking me or Politesub won't change that. Actually he misrepresented both studies: quote: ORIGINAL: Kirata Much as that graphic is one of GotSteel's favorites in his never ending campaign of anti-religious activism, we've known for decades that there is no direct connection between the belief that homosexual acts are sinful and a fear and loathing of homosexuals In order to validly make this claim He'd have to explain the source of 100% of homophobia as coming from elsewhere. Even if we take the gay boner study as accurate it doesn't back up his claim because the study documented that a significant portion of it's homophobes didn't get gay boners. Not that I'm arguing entirely against Haggard's Law mind you, there may well be some amount of truth to it. But considering the historically huge levels of homophobia and how strong of a correlation the study is claiming it would mean that the majority of men used to be secret-gay. Claiming the studies accuracy (or in K's case making bolder claims than the study actually does) leaves one with troubling questions such as how did no one notice that most men used to be attracted to other men and how did so much of that gayness just disappear in the last couple decades.
