People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

So its not entirely just a stereotype. They have done studies on it, and it holds remarkably true. I'll see if I can find one of them for you.

Edited to add a link to the study: Homophobia study

Thank you for citing sources, remarkable that there is statistically an interaction. I wonder what other common phenomena people may be in denial about?

You know that's literally not what the study says right... ?

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It says there is a correlation between homophobia and sexual arousal from homosexual visual stimulus. I'm not sure what you mean?

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 10 months ago

It does not say "most homophobes are gay".

Which is the topic of the thread.
