Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal

It’s always important in science to do the experiment or study, even if you’re pretty sure you already know the answer.

Sometimes, the result will be surprisingly counter-intuitive. And other times, like in this study, it confirms what seems blatantly obvious.

What could it possibly mean when a man who identifies as heterosexual feels threatened by the mere existence of homosexual men? What could it mean???

And then they’re like "huh… that’s weird“ and discover time travel by accident.

    That’s a banger quote. Where does it come from?
    
    I think it could be reuse with burn the kings, and burn the capital owners

And more proof is always useful. Science runs on it.

And sometimes, studies find what the experimenter wants them to find.

I always assumed that homophobia is about a subconscious fear of spreading diseases and stuff, as that’s more common in gay people by a lot.

  Don’t conflate promiscuity with homosexuality. There are plenty of gay people who are monogamous and who are no more likely to spread disease than anybody else. And there are plenty of promiscuous heterosexual people who are spreading diseases.
  
  Also, you shouldn’t apologize for this bigotry by saying it’s subconscious. This is learned behavior.

    you’re right, i should have been more careful about this.
    
    i just contacted an old friend of mine who had that view, and he too says that he’s changed his mind about this and no longer sees it that way.
