Homophobia Linked To Psychological Traits, Suggesting It Could Indicate Mental Health Disorders

Quote
Homophobia, or the irrational intolerance of homosexual men and women by heterosexual people has often been interpreted as a vehicle of prejudice and hate, but a recent study finds it could also be attributed to psychological problems. Publishing their findings in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers discovered that certain psychological traits, along with maladaptive defense mechanisms, could potentially feed into homophobic attitudes.

Often, when we encounter people and form relationships with them in any regard, our psychological responses to that person operate on a spectrum of negative and positive emotions. For example, wondering whether we trust this person or not, or if we feel secure or anxious around them, are ways we judge a relationship. If these emotions gravitate toward the more negative sides of the spectrum, and produce anxiety, we tend to conflate these relationships with defense mechanisms in order to feel more secure within the situation.

The researchers, acting under Dr. Emmanuele A. Jannini, president of the Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine, used these theories to uncover how defense mechanisms play a role in homophobia, as well as how certain psychological disorders could be associated with this form of discrimination.

Really? By their logic, liberalism is a mental disorder, which it is.  :mental:

'Oh brave new world' and all that rot... It wasn't long ago that Homosexuality was listed in the DSM... It looks like they are prepping the battlefield to have the opposite listed as a mental disorder in it now.  :banghead:

And "studies" "prove" conservatives are less intelligent, yada-blah, yada-blah, yada-blah, yada-blah ...

"Scientific" "studies" are always easier when the conclusion is written before the "data" are collected.

Apparently it is a mental health issue to look at wrong or unnatural behavior and call it wrong or unnatural. What a sad and fallen world we live in.

I'm still trying to figure out how Darwin true-believers - which I'm sure the writers of this "study" are - can reconcile their belief that homosexuality is normal with their Darwinism. Seriously! How do homosexuals out-reproduce "breeders"?

Homophobia is an evolutionary reflex against traits that diminish survivability.

There was a statistician in the '50s who found that 97% of psychological studies supported their hypothesis. Another researcher in 2010 found something similar.

Of course, their conclusions were that bias likely played a role, not that researchers in psychology were just that smart.  ::)

Anyone who understands TToE also knows homosexuality is an abnormality.  Since it affects such a tiny % of the population and is an evolutionary dead-end it does not factor into the science.
 
Why it crops up at all is probably an interesting path of investigation, but that path would more than likely lead to the discovery of a gay gene that could be screened for (as Downs' is now) -- right now the people holding the reigns of funding for such research won't allow it.

They need a new name. I don't know one single person that is scared of queers or dykes. Sickened, repulsed, yes, but not scared.  If anyone fears them, it's a fear of the queer having AIDS.

Some behavioral scientists have actually called it "illegitimately pejorative" because it asserts fear as the motive when that isn't the only possible explanation.

Perhaps those traits and the distaste for homosexuality are normal, and the easily-accepting are the sickos.

Last I heard, homosexuals and their supporters were still touting some late 80s-early 90s "study" that claimed to have determined that homosexuality is genetic and thus normal (rather than a learned preference). Been around that barn more than a few times.

I think the people producing these studies are misusing the word "phobia." Distaste and irrational fear are two different things. Similarly, accepting a person and accepting their actions are two different things.

Distaste for - and perverse fascination with - things abnormal extend far beyond the sexual. Heavy metal fans can point at accordion players and polka music; Lawrence Welk fans can point at Metallica.

I think my musical knowledge came to a near halt in the 1970s, so I can't tell if that's a parody of a Metallica song or ??? It's somewhere between an Abba brain worm and an utterly evil disco song.

I agree completely, I just didn't want to go into that topic in making my point on a slightly different one.

f2003b, your tone seems antagonistic, without cause.

That said, I did read your post last evening. My post was directly relevant and responsive to these clauses from your post (whose entirety I quoted):

Quote
Why it crops up at all is probably an interesting path of investigation, but that path would more than likely lead to the discovery of a gay gene  that could be screened for (as Downs' is now) ...

The latter of the two clauses suggest that such a "gay gene" would be regarded as an abnormality. I pointed out that there already is such a study that claims to prove being gay is genetic, and that homosexuals and their advocates use that study to "prove" that being gay is genetic and therefore a form of normal.

I thought that information, if you were unaware of it, might be interesting to you. Evidently not.
