Really. I've always wondered why so many of the male homophobes I've known have such close relationships with other males. They seem to prefer spending time with their “buddies” to spending it with women. In fact, they pretty much treat women abominably. You can't convince me you like women when you treat them badly. And why do they get so fired up mad when a gay man comes on to them? Hmmm? Worried that they'll “turn”?Homophobia is more pronounced in individuals with an unacknowledged attraction to the same sex and who grew up with authoritarian parents who forbade such desires, a series of psychology studies demonstrates.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
