Homophobes are Gay

In this Thorspace feature I comment on a recent Op-Ed piece in the New York times that reveals a startling statistic, and proposes an even more startling theory. I put my own spin on the concept.


"In fact, there is a growing body of research that supports the notion that homophobia in some men could be a reaction to their own homosexual impulses. Many heterosexual men see this, and they don't want to be associated with it. It's like being antigay is becoming the old gay. Not cool. " Quote from the Op-Ed that summaries the main point of the video.

Further the point being Homophobes are realizing that "Hey people are realizing I'm just projecting my own fears about my own personal sexuality, I'm going to stop being a Homophobe"

I totally agree with the third hypothesis, people usually try and suppress or erase what they don't like in them self's, as well as try to project that aspect of their self hate out on those around them, not only to satisfy their own need to feel "normal" in their own eyes and societies but also to continual ensure that nothing arises to their concept of what is acceptable.

I'm not afraid of them I just don't like them. How is that a phobia?

@revhowardgross , It seems that you are a bit homophobic, which comes from being prejudice; the fear of the unknown, maybe you should do some reading, perhaps then you could learn that people who are gay are still people, infact they are great people. They are not a disgrace to the human race, especially since homosexuality happens in many species and homophobia in only one. I hope this has helped you as a person.

You stupid fag, if you'd have been my kid you can bet your butt you'd have turned out different instead of being worthless scum. Go gargle some gravel, eat some sandpaper,do something. You're a disgrace to the human race.

another thing that makes me think that the third theory is valid is I read an artical years ago about gay bashing and in many cases the victim was sodomised so if the attacter (homophob) wasnt secretly gay why would he basically rap another guy

[mickey197769]

@sadlittleemoboy well in alot of cases of gay bashing the victim is sodomised so if the person who was doing the bashing wasnt secretly gay then why would he basicly rap a guy

[mickey197769]

i agree with the third theory i have personally seen it where a "str8" man who really likes guys, be it partly or totally, can really show some anger about it. one of my exfriends for example, it was his idea to do it but at the end of the friendship he made it out to be my fault that he did it and even became violent with me. moral to the story dont sleep with your friends no matter how cute they are or how much they want to it only ruins the friendship because you cant go back to just friends.

calling people bigots and homophobes makes people that way.

[ArtsyWolf11]

I'm gonna tell the kids I know who are calling ppl gay that there have been studies that show that homophobic bullies usually end up being gay!

@lapenikola Nice to know I'm not alone!
