Gravitymaster 0 #4 April 8, 2012 The phobia part was invented as an attempt to put anyone who criticizes homosexuals, on the defensive. It's actually just stupid pop psychology. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christelsabine 1 #17 April 8, 2012 Quote Classic homosexuality, males, is considered the result of choices made when raised by a weak or absent father and a strong dominant mother or mother figure. I never have understood the phobia aspect. Holy crap. The father of my son died when our boy was young. Mom went horse riding, hunting, shooting and later skydiving, worked hard, still works a lot. My now big boy is a happy hetero with a beautiful girl at his side. What did I do wrong? Even folks at your age should try to realize how much has changed during the last century. Doesn't your religion request you to *see with your heart*?? How could one be so blind? dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1969912 0 #21 April 8, 2012 I think that many people who are strongly anti gay have sexual identity issues themselves. Many of them probably get boners when thinking about dudes, get scared, and try to compensate by being strongly anti gay. I'm not talking about those who are anti gay because of their faith/religion here. edited for clarity "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreece 190 #23 April 8, 2012 QuoteI disagree with how they concluded "homosexual tendencies". They used visual subliminal message techniques, which have been widely discredited as junk. I agree. I think human sexuality is just too complex to reduce it to these rather simplistic studies with such small sample sizes...but I think it does raise a lot of questions that make for interesting conversation. There are so many variables. People could have a physical and emotional attraction to the same sex that is beyond "normal" that could be perceived as homosexual behavior but stops short of sexual arousal. There is also the idea of bi-sexuality that I think needs to be addressed. Could it be that many people just have a sexual attraction to both sexes and simply choose one side or the other? There are many men who say they are homosexual, but they still were able to have that emotional, physical and sexual attraction that allowed them the ability to be aroused by a woman, have sex and even raise a families. There also seems to be so many different types of homosexuals...effeminate homosexuals, flamboyant homosexuals, extremely masculine homosexuals, and of course those like the ambiguously gay duo. Could it be that effeminate and flamboyant gays are the "true" homosexuals, and the masculine gays are simple bi-sexual? - I dunno, these are just some observations that I'm throwing out there to raise questions about their significance, if any... Also, though it's not explicitly stated, doesn't it seem as though the article could be implying that homophobes are actually homosexuals that became heterosexual because of a series of choices they made based on the way they were raised?Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...
