    Just because you believe something to be true, does not make it true. Its really important you grapple with that fact.

    If the origin of homophobia is from fear of the other, why can that not persist as a major cause going forward. Especially as you note people do not, at scale, act rationally.

    This is the only bigotry where people try and pin it mostly on the minority who suffer from it.

    You would never accuse misogynists of being secret women, or racists of being secretly black.

    Its only here where the difference is invisible that you like to deny, diminish and downplay the involvement of the majority in upholding bigotry.

    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.
