Not sure how reliable the source is, but still, the debate is still open. Are homophobes hiding their own homosexuality?

Some homophobes will be, others will just be ignorant, there are also the religious bigots as well of course.

That question is about as stupid as asking if arachnophobics are secretly spiders. I think it answers itself really.

Yes

So many people I know hate Gays but I know they are gay themselfs.

One of my friends thinks hes the 'ard man around school, but me and my other mate last year caught him kissing this boy that lives in his street and they were proper kissing eachother beside this van.

He doesnt know we know though LOL
But he always calls Gay people names to hide the fact hes gay.


My Best Mate, is VERY Homophobic and never shuts up about how much he hates Gays but he acts really girly and doesnt realise it, he has a gay way about him but acts completely against gays.

That pretty much sums up the topic really. I can't add anything new to it.

I would imagine that could be true of some people but I think for the most part it is, as others here have said pure ignorance, religious beliefs and just being brought up being told it was bad to be gay.

[karezza]

Homosexuals, paedophiles, beastiaphiles etc are hetereosexuals in denial.

[Crimson Dynamo]

If that is the case then surely gay blokes would go through a nasty aggressive anti gay period prior to coming out. Did this happen to any gay men on tibb, were you a rabid homophobe before you told people that you were gay?

What about all the gay men that are very anti hetrosexual?

are they secret hetros?

why would your religious beliefs make you hate gay people?

they may not approve of the sexual nature but they would not hate the person?

You and I both know that there are very extreme religious followers out there who would indeed hate people because of things that are "wrong" in their religions eyes, obviously a minority of religious people but I would say some.

who?

I have never come across them. apart from that family in the USA who get all the news but they are about 30 people.

To use the word religious to describe an extreme minority is about as helpful as using the umbrella term "men" when you just mean some nutters who are men.

lol, ok then, I apologize If I offended you by coming across as generalizing, I do still think that though but as I have no actual statistics or figures to back myself up, I will take your point.

Dont mean they all are lol.

To answer the question..

Generally people are young and yes ignorant, kids make fun of the different, its just something that happens doesnt mean they are all gay because they do, everyone still makes a gay jokes here or there its funny.

Another pile of psycho bable rubbish by those with nothing better to occupy their minds with.......

That crazy logic reversed could also mean that homosexuals are hiding their hetrosexual tendencies......

If it comes from a psychologist "BIN IT".........

In general, No.

But kind of like the guy from Shameless on C4, he says he hates gay people, but he's gay himself, he was in denial, and i reckon some people pretend they hate gay people when they are gay themselves.

There is such thing as a homophobic gay person.

But in general, the question does not apply to most.
