Yes we're homophobes and PROUD of it!

NEW ORLEANS -- Homophobia is not an actual phobia, according to three
University of Arkansas psychologists. In a recent study, these
researchers showed that homophobia originates not out of fear or
anxiety -- as true phobias do -- but from feelings of disgust.

The UA researchers also found close associations between homophobic
tendencies and concerns about contamination as well as conservative
views about sexuality in general. Their findings suggest a social,
attitudinal basis for homophobia rather than a psychopathological
one,
as the term itself implies.

The researchers were investigating phobias, so if they think they found
that homophobia isn't a phobia, haven't they done themselves out of a job?

The gist of the article seems reasonable. If you're broadminded, you're
less likely to be homophobic. If you're very conservative, with limited
exposure to the big wide world, you're more likely to be homophobic.

How are Ted & Alice these days?

So how long have the doctors known about your mental deficency?

Apparently a lot longer than you've known that your homophobia doesn't
exist because it's not a phobia.
