    As noted, its a small sample size, and even in that sample size the homophobic participants exhibited “arousal” to all sexual stimuli.

    I don’t think that makes someone gay.

    You also have to consider the subset of self described homophobes who would consent to having a device strapped to their genitalia while they are shown gay porn…

    They may not be a representative of the larger group.

      The key factor is that only the homophobes experienced arousal when shown gay porn.

      Also, a small sample size doesn’t instantly invalidate a study.

        The key factor is that it neither answers nor proves the claim. Linking it shows a failure to read even the abstract.

          wierdly how you dont think homophobic people are not gay themselves, you do realize how many people have sham marriages/relationships because they are secretely gay. if you go to any platform where gay people of experiences coming out, many of them had relationships with straight people to appear straight.

            This is a strawman, and not what I claimed at all. Please read my comments more carefully if you wish to understand what I am saying.
