NO! what I actually did was applied their nonsense to my own situation. I do not have a very high opinion about homosexuality, and will agressively share my opinion with anyone. According to the "STUDY" you presented, my willingness to agressively share my views on homosexuality supposedly makes me a closet homosexual. That is utter nonsense because just the thought of two guys have sex totally disgusts me.
Since this so-called study is so very wrong about me, I am left with the conclusion that it is nothing but B.S. designed to quite dissent.
Marvin,

The study showed that people's bodies told a different story than their minds.

It was done with interviews, questionaires and then by hooking men up to machines and showing images. The machines measured heart rate, breathing, perspiration, blood pressure, and erectile response.

Now the interviews and questionaires were designed to place a persons views on homosexuality on a scale. The questions in each were rearranged, reworded and included questions about relationships (gay & straight), sexuality, sexual activities, and generic views on other subjects to establish baselines.

The images they saw were hetero, bi, and homosexual, single, couples and groups. Everything from just being seated next to each other to actual sex acts.

Those that did as you do, mostly, but not all, and professed disgust or other vehement anti-gay reactions in the interviews and questionaires - most - most - had very strong physical reactions of AROUSAL at the images of their own gender and gay sex acts.

Sorry, but it's true.

NOW - that may not be true for YOU, but it is true for the majority who share your views about gay sex. They got excited and had all the reactions physically of ramping up for sex themselves.

The mind can lie. The body does not.
