Homophobe? You're most likely gay.

I liked the unbolded part at the end.

tbh this is exactly what one of these closeted homophobes would say

I like how people probably just read the bolded parts and didn't even think about it. Thanks for the link to the original btw.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology

Oh we're off to a great start here. Social psych experiments.

repression

Oh ok, we're going Freud all up in here.

The study subjects were four groups of about 160 college students each, in the USA and Germany. They rated the attractiveness of people in same-sex or opposite-sex photos and answered questions about the type of parenting they experienced growing up, from authoritarian to democratic, as well as homophobia at home.

Oh ok, so all the results are self-reported survey stuff. Yea, that'll be accurate.

Then, levels of homophobia were measured both consciously and sub-consciously.

What? How? This doesn't even make any sense.

It'd be nice to see the actual paper once it's published, but so far this study sounds garbage.

His friend telling everyone else he was gay before friend B and seeing how friend b reacted proved he was right in assuming he should wait. He may or may not be homophobic but he definitely was melodramatic. The guy telling the house of his orientation had nothing to do with him(friend b), which his actions showed he decided to do.

Apparently you don't have a friend that is your go to guy about stuff. The one you bounce ideas and thoughts off of. If my buddy all of a sudden told me he was gay I would be surprised and a little irritated that he felt he couldn't tell me sooner. But it wouldn't change our friendship. Am I a gay?

[Kerberoz]

I was really homophobic when little and it just kind of disappeared im still unsure why

Who didn't hate gays and power rangers in middle school? It was either that or be ostracized.

Sounds like minority logic to me. Kinda like atheists saying that religious people who take medicine instead of asking God to heal them are actually atheists as well.
Gotta make that small percentage of homosexual people seem bigger than what it really is somehow.

I wonder what Ahmadinejad would think of all this.

Checkmate atheists!

Yeah I do. My best friend for close to 10 years is a straight guy and knows I`m gay. We have one on one talks all the time, and I`m closer to him than my own family. Why would it matter if he told you now instead of before? Maybe he thought you and his friends would shun him. Is it that hard to imagine if there are parents who want nothing to do with their children if they turn out to be gay, that their friends could do the same?
I`m annoyed you would become 'irritated' that a friend told you he was gay, because bolded for emphasis; it`s not about you. I would honestly love to know the reasoning behind that. I have been told plenty of times "oh I wish you told me sooner blah blah" as it matters or they`re borderline insulted. The 'am I gay?' part I don`t know how you assumed I was suggesting that :/

Just so you know I`m not attacking you at all, I just don`t understand the mild resentment a straight person has over a friend`s coming out.

My one of my best friends since high school came out about 5 years after we graduated. Alot of people in our circle of friends thought he might be gay, but that never bothered me. When he came out, I was happy for him. My crazy religious mom, asked if I felt betrayed because I had spent the night at his house often. LOL

[Qalbert]

should have been like, no mom all we did over there was make out

Stop being retarded. You can't judge a study based on a press release.

[Mazmaz]

Why not? You guys obviously are lol.

[hey]

Why not? You guys obviously are lol.

Accepting it outright isn't judging it.

[Mazmaz]

Are you serious right now?

[Mizango]

Duh?

[hey]

Are you serious right now?

I don't know what would make you think otherwise. You can't judge something if you already accepted it as truth before even clicking the thread.

[Mazmaz]

I dunno what that means but are you basically saying:
It's ok to look at a press release and go "Huzzah! We have empirical evidence now", but it's not ok to look at the press release and go "This press release is really not convincing enough to say that there's empirical evidence".
?

[Ghost_Wheel22]

I know I would be irritated if some of my best friends came out gay, considering we've done a lot of pussy swapping in the past. Knowing my penis was in a vagina that also had a gay penis inside would really rustle my jimmies.

If you examine the press release and base your conclusions on what it says, then you are judging it. If you read the title, and accept/reject it, not caring what it says, then you're not judging anything.
