Many studies have been done to prove that homophobia is actually caused by repressed homosexuality. This means that the men and women who claim that they hate gay people are totally against homosexuality, in fact really are gay and have sexual feelings towards members of the same sex. None of the studies however, has been proven, but science does suggest that this is true. More studies have to done to prove it. They also have to done differently than they were done in the past. The studies should be conducted with gay men as well, to compare the results. For now, people will believe that homophobia is caused by repressed homosexuality.When the study was done, proclaimed homophobic men were shown images of homosexual men as well as non-homophobic men. During the study, it showed that the homophobic men had some kind of arousal when they looked at the images, as opposed to the non-homophobic men, who didn't get aroused. The study is not completely accurate, but it shows some significance. I think that the theory may have some truth to it. Normally when people have a dislike for something, but inside they really like it, they begin to dislike it even more, which then turns to hate. That is the same way with homophobic people. They are taught and believe that homosexuality is wrong, but when they develop homosexual feelings, they begin to hate it even more because they know, that they could never lead that type of lifestyle.
I don't support homophobia, but I believe that its justifiable that repressed homosexuals are homophobic because they don't want to give up on their beliefs that homosexuality is wrong, and I don't believe that people should give up on what they believe in. They should stand up for what they believe in, even if other people think that it is morally wrong. Either way, this is a mental issue. These people have feelings that they have that are being hidden and buried inside of them. They should get help for those feelings, or make a choice of what they want to do with their lives: be gay or hate what they really are inside. It's really a inside choice.
