So everyone who calls me the F word wants to fuck me? Gross.
they mad cuz they cant
Is this why Republican senators keep getting caught kissin’ with other men in public restrooms?
I mean grindr always reports an increase in traffic around the republican conventions.
This sounds like it would be something that’s an interesting anecdote and a “GOTCHA”. Has there ever been any confirmation of this from Grindr? As amusing of a story it is, it’s only really useful information if it’s provable.
The world would be so much better if they stopped being so concerned with what other consenting adults are doing in private.
Based study

Even though this study seems kinda doubtworthy, that’s what I’ve said for over 3 decades now. The louder they scream “evil!” The more “evil” they themselves are.

“You fear and reject what you are”
This is going to get the fundamentalists to hate science even more. Heh.
35 people makes it a useless study.
I agree
it was 64 people. edit: and also, even 29 or something like this is a lot, assuming that they are selected kind of randomly and not all belong to the same social group etc. If only 3 showed a reaction like described, sure. We need more data. but with a hitrate of 100%, what do you expect to happen if you 10x the number?
Homophobes: resist those evil urges, don’t give it to the gay sex, you can do it just say no…
The rest of us: uh, who’s gonna tell them
If you’re scared enough, even wiping your ass is gay.
This is fake right. Please tell me this is fake
Personally I think he should have to explain for once.
Has this man never eaten a sandwich? Pizza? French Fries? Tacos? What is this nonsense?
That’s outright disgusting.
If you need to regularly scratch your anus, go see a doctor.
Also, even if you do need to scratch your anus, why wouldn’t you be able to eat with your hands? SURELY you sanitize them properly RIGHT? RIGHT?!
People who think like this don’t wash their hands after going to the toilet, so of course it’s disgusting for them.
If you need to regularly scratch your anus get a bidet and some ivermectin
Oh I didn’t realise COVID made your anus itchy! Is it a new variant? 😂 Edits for spelling cos I can’t apparently.
If you need to regularly scratch your anus, you probably have parasites. That’s one of the prime ways for some species of parasites (roundworms, I think?, probably tapeworms too?) to spread.
If you have a tenia, you are never alone.
Eat with the right, touch anus with the left and always wash hands before you eat. Developed cultures have done this for ages. And they have clean bumholes because they wash instead of only smearing with toilet paper. That shit is disgusting.
Washing can also help against the itchiness. As well as non-synthetic underwear. If those don’t help, do indeed see a doctor.
Eating food with your hands is unsanitary?
He really posted about his itchy anus on twitter?
Homophobes: “We can’t legalize gay marriage! The birth rate would collapse! If men could marry men, then what reasonable man would ever choose to marry a disgusting, weak, woman over a strong, virile, muscular, sweaty, musky, oily, maaaannnnnn…”
The rest of us: Dude. Bro. Dude.
It’s always important in science to do the experiment or study, even if you’re pretty sure you already know the answer.
Sometimes, the result will be surprisingly counter-intuitive. And other times, like in this study, it confirms what seems blatantly obvious.
What could it possibly mean when a man who identifies as heterosexual feels threatened by the mere existence of homosexual men? What could it mean???
I always assumed that homophobia is about a subconscious fear of spreading diseases and stuff, as that’s more common in gay people by a lot.
Don’t conflate promiscuity with homosexuality. There are plenty of gay people who are monogamous and who are no more likely to spread disease than anybody else. And there are plenty of promiscuous heterosexual people who are spreading diseases.
Also, you shouldn’t apologize for this bigotry by saying it’s subconscious. This is learned behavior.
you’re right, i should have been more careful about this.
i just contacted an old friend of mine who had that view, and he too says that he’s changed his mind about this and no longer sees it that way.
And more proof is always useful. Science runs on it.

And then they’re like "huh… that’s weird“ and discover time travel by accident.
“Turns out all we needed to travel forwards in time is to burn homophobes!”
“1.21 GIGAHOMOPHOBES?!”
And sometimes, just sometimes, studies are framed to find what the experimenter wants them to find.
Funny, but the sample size? Would like to see a larger study (probably would show the same results).
I also wonder if they considered bi individuals in the non-homophobic group.
If these are easily answered by reading the paper, I’ll see it now, when I actually read it.
Bi - the invisible sexual orientation.
Glad that Lower Decks has a bi protagonist. Its really sad that bisexual people just seem to be completely invisible within the broader culture.
I have not watched it. I love me some star trek, but haven’t really gotten into the “new” ones. Mainly because I need to pirate them, and haven’t yet.
It is a good point on bi individuals being somewhat invisible. It seems like most people just assume their orientation by the person they’re with, or people they most commonly “go for”.
Maybe this explains that odd “prayer” group hug of Republicans in the Capitol that was posted these days ;-)
Waitwaitwait… The homophobic men displaying arousal: Yeah, sure, of course.
But NONE of the non-homophobic men got even a little ruffled? That’s the real surprise here.
I’ve always assumed this (and assumed that other people assumed this), because if you talk to homophobes they’ll eventually say something like “it’s a choice!” because it’s a choice for them. It’s not a choice for me because gay porn doesn’t turn me on – and if it did I wouldn’t care anyway because that’s how I was raised. But it DOES turns them on, AND they were raised in an environment where this is THE WORST THING EVER, so it upsets them and they get all irrational and punchy (lesson learned: DO NOT discuss this theory with a homophobe.)
TLDR; IMHO Homophobes who think orientation is a choice are closeted gays because logic.
It would be nice to see a better study. Interesting if one hasn’t been done in all this time…
