Homosexuality: Chosen or Genetic?

Researchers at the University of Georgia conducted a study to determine the cause of homophobia. For the purposes of this study, "homophobia" was defined as "a negative emotional reaction, e.g. anxiety, discomfort, fear, etc. to homosexuality."

Of a sample of 64 men, none of whom had engaged in homosexual behavior in their lifetime and whose sexual fantasies involved only women, 35 were rated homophobic and 29 were rated non-homophobic according to the Index of Homophobia.

The men were then shown gay, lesbian, and straight adult films while a plethysmograph device measured the circumference of their penis as a gauge of sexual arousal.

The two groups exhibited similar arousal when they viewed four minute samples of the lesbian and the straight adult films, but responded differently to the sample of the gay film.

Of the non-homophobic men, 66% experienced an insignificant degree of penile tumescence, 10% experienced a moderate degree of penile tumescence, and 24% experienced a definite degree of penile tumescence.

Of the homophobic men, 20% experienced an insignificant degree of penile tumescence, 26% experienced a moderate degree of penile tumescence, and 54% experienced a definite degree of penile tumescence.

The researchers concluded that this data is consistent with the belief that homophobic men have repressed homosexual desires.

So you see whobdamandog, you are in good company.

What does that have to do with anything you can do these things as well If your so proud of being gay if your not then don't.
Besides where is the difference in what straight people do on a daily basis and what Homosexuals do on Gay pride day only on a much larger and more ridiculous scale. If you want to hold your boyfriends hand go ahead As I have already stated I have gay friends and that don't bother me at all. What bothers me is the fact that it's played upon to much!

What bothers me is your intolerance...

If you saw a junkie shooting up and selling crack on the street...what business of it is it to you?

He's attempting to live his life..and him selling crack to minors will have no impact on you or others..as long as he isn't selling it to you.

Same thing goes for being gay..if a man chooses to do something on his own..then we should then legalize that behavior..

This includes all types of behaviors that men do that don't effect anyone else..

We all know that legalizing sodomy wouldn't make it harder to convict pedophiles or people who commit rape..

Silly logic..I'm for human rights, such as abortion...saving chickens from KFC, and making it so to men can get married..

Let me ask you a question? Give me one good reason as to why a man who is trying to make a decent living to feed his kids..shouldn't be able to sell crack cocaine on the streets?

Wasn't it a wise man who once said that there are "no absolute truths"..

So how can we be certain of what you just stated being true..or me for that matter..

Just because all truth is relative..it doesn't mean that what I'm saying is a relative truth..🙄

I'm reinventing Latin.

Does that include those who like to profess their overly religious beliefs in their sigs...😉

The more you deny your repressed homosexual desires, the more you prove me correct.
