Where do the come up with this nuttiness?

Are homophobes secretly gay? A new study purports to prove it.

It's all about not provoking God's judgement. Why don't these people get it? I guess at least gays are responsible for very few abortions.

More importantly, why would people who fear homosexuals be secretly gay?

Fear NAMBLA & their GLBT allies

You know, I get really tired of this moniker. My dad's gay, I'm pro-gay marriage, but then I also don't believe the government should actually be telling who can get married, but that's another thread all together. In any event, the use of the word homophobe is incorrect, and is used as a pejorative only, to mark those who do not like homosexuals.

There is a difference between fear and dislike, hared, or disagreement. This idea that all who dislike gays are secretly gay themselves is just ludicrous and insulting. It never helps any sort of debate, and becomes the "Hitler" of the gay rights debate. Yes, the real nutters about it likely have deep-seeded issues that they may not be dealing with, but that's not representative of the whole or even the majority. As I've said before, I believe that a lot of the anger that comes into the debate is due to the fact that unfortunately, the loons on both sides are running the debate.

The anti-gay movement is no more at fault for this than the gay rights activists who try to cram their lifestyle choice down other peoples' throats, only to scoff when someone doesn't like them, and call them homophobes, then sit there and pull the lame ass "Well, secretly they're really gay." It's a bully tactic, and has no place in grown-up debate.

" For at least 15 years, scientists have been trying to use objective laboratory measures to prove the he-who-smelt-it-dealt-it theory of human sexuality."

Grrrrrr I'm pissed off. For 15 years these idiots have been trying to find a proof for a conclusion they have already decided was true.
News flash:
THAT'S NOT HOW THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD WORKS!!

Let's just go ahead and take this logic to a foolish extent.
I fear serial killers, but only because I'm a serial killer myself.

If they have "proved" it, then I am a multi millionaire.

The scientific method works by having a hypothesis, testing it, and testing again, and again, and so on.
Im sure techniques and understanding of the sub-conscious have chnaged a heck of a lot in 15 years, so it's not surprising that they'd put this knew knowledge to old questions. Unless you think there's some cut off point were they go 'right, we've studied this for 6 years, as of now it's closed, it must not be studied again, this answer is to be taken as unquestionable truth'...that would be unscientific.

Fear NAMBLA & their GLBT allies

Please don't ever think of me as an ally of NAMBLA. Lesbians are historically vocal against NAMBLA. We've never wanted them marching in our parades.

Pedophilia has nothing to do with adult sexuality--gay or straight.

The reason it gets any traction is because all too often it's true. Those who are the most rabidly anti gay turn out to be gay themselves...and it happens all the time in the GOP. Personally I think anyone who's gay and republican is a self hater and not capable of speaking to the issue.

Homophobes are homophobes...it's a phobia, not rational etc. etc. etc. all too often it's over compensating for gay 'feelings'...fear, fear...be afraid...what the hell is the 'gay agenda' anyway?

If you don't know what the gay agenda is, you are one.

So, someone who has a phobia of snakes, is themselves a snake? Happens all the time in the Democratic party. Personally, I think anyone who's afraid of snakes and democratic is a self-hater and not capable of speaking to the issue of Ophidiophobia.

It does not happen "All the time", it happens maybe once a year or two, that's not "All the time", any more than Christmas happens "All the Time"/

Dislike is not a phobia, it's a dislike or hatred, but not a fear (aka a phobia). It's like calling gay people Heterophobes, it's no less disinegenuous

Which means what exactly? If ask you to be more forthcoming I'm gay? LMAO...

Any time you want to come to Arkansas I'm willing to prove to you I'm not gay.

My wife on the other hand has seen your picture and advises that she might go at least bi.
