    This study kind of illustrates it may be true. It’s not a huge sample size, but its difficult to deny there is at least a significant correlation.

      I only need to open Grindr at a Republican convention to know for sure. Also, good luck with the servers not crashing.

      That’s not what the study says??

      I don’t have access to the full text, but it certainly doesn’t state most homophobes display attraction to gay porn.

      It says there is a correlation. If 5% of the population is gay and 10% of homophobes are gay, then homophobia is correlated with being gay.

      But stating most homophobes are gay would require evidence that >50% are gay, not just that there exists a correlation.

      As noted, its a small sample size, and even in that sample size the homophobic participants exhibited “arousal” to all sexual stimuli.

      I don’t think that makes someone gay.

      You also have to consider the subset of self described homophobes who would consent to having a device strapped to their genitalia while they are shown gay porn…

      They may not be a representative of the larger group.
