rightfully so
Almost like the first one isn't true either.
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.
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.
I only need to open Grindr at a Republican convention to know for sure. Also, good luck with the servers not crashing.
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.
The key factor is that only the homophobes experienced arousal when shown gay porn.
Also, a small sample size doesn't instantly invalidate a study.
The key factor is that it neither answers nor proves the claim. Linking it shows a failure to read even the abstract.

Statistically speaking though...
Yeah... statistically speaking.... its not true.
Well, secretly bi then.
Why is there such a high frequency of republican conventions crashing grindr, if it's not men with repressed desires for man-on-man sex that daren't reveal their location in their home town?
Why do conservatives claim that the gay lifestyle is a choice, if they themselves didn't choose the straight lifestyle?
If they were completely straight, why would they think that seeing gay relationships in books entices young people into gay relationships? Surely someone 100% straight would be unaffected and it wouldn't occur to them that it was attracting young people who weren't already that way inclined.
Every fear conservatives have of gay people only makes sense if they're coming from a bisexual perspective themselves.
Imagine you don't find lizards at all appealing as pets and you think the vast majority of people feel the same way. Do you complain when they show people who own lizards on the television on the grounds that it entices lizard ownership? No! Now imagine you find lizard ownership really really appealing but you think it's a disaster ecologically and cruel for the lizard or something. Now you're writing angry social media posts saying they ought not to depict that on television because it only encourages it.
Purely straight men have nothing whatsoever to fear from gay men. Only reluctant bi men worry about it and ask society to remove the temptation.

Lost in Space?
The 1995 movie, yes.
Ok, but ewww, imagine the other way around - seeing a spider doing normal spider-bro things, but it's turns out it's a human?
This guy?
No, this dude gets a pass.
Sounds like a secret spider curve ball to me
Hiss
Most homophones are secretly homographs
