Then your point is both unfounded and ill conceived. I am perfectly willing to read informed criticism of the scientific study from their scientific peers. It is a given in science that it is incomplete, imperfect, and indefinite. I do not have a firm opinion on whether or not homophobes are predominantly expressing repressed fears of their own homosexuality. I posted the study as one piece of the puzzle, and I solicited feedback several times. It is not definitive proof of anything, Karma. If you throw a coin 50 times, and it always comes up heads, it might mean that you have a two headed coin. But it does not PROVE DEFINITIVELY that you have a two-headed coin, Karma. THAT is the point. This study does not PROVE that homophobes are expressing repressed homosexual proclivities. And even if the weight of the evidence suggests a high probability that that is the case...it still does not mean that ALL homophobes are that way for that same reason. Do you understand?
