In recent years, Ted Haggard, an evangelical leader who preached that homosexuality was a sin, resigned after a scandal involving a former male prostitute; Larry Craig, a United States senator who opposed including sexual orientation in hate-crime legislation, was arrested on suspicion of lewd conduct in a men’s bathroom; and Glenn Murphy Jr., a leader of the Young Republican National Convention and an opponent of same-sex marriage, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge after being accused of sexually assaulting another man.
One theory is that homosexual urges, when repressed out of shame or fear, can be expressed as homophobia. Freud famously called this process a “reaction formation” — the angry battle against the outward symbol of feelings that are inwardly being stifled. Even Mr. Haggard seemed to endorse this idea when, apologizing after his scandal for his anti-gay rhetoric, he said, “I think I was partially so vehement because of my own war.”
It’s a compelling theory — and now there is scientific reason to believe it. In this month’s issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, we and our fellow researchers provide empirical evidence that homophobia can result, at least in part, from the suppression of same-sex desire.

That would explain yukon.
That would explain yukon. He should have stayed out of the closet. When he was resigned to the fact that everyone knew, he immediately stopped being an asshole.
Well, he got over it.
Hi yukie how's it going??? (you know the closet queen will be trolling this thread just like he trolls those gay websites.)
Hell! Threads like this are a wet dream of Mikes, he soooo wants to be excepted he just keeps on fishing for a 'gay headcount' to please himself, so he keeps harping on anyone who believes homosexuality is wrong, a sin. He ignores those who tolerate homosexuals that are not radical, its the radicals with an agenda I despise, but he's too stupid to understand the difference, he thinks if you bitch at a person enough, call them names, they can be shamed into changing their minds. Bull Shit! He actually thinks you can brow beat a person into accepting behavior you loath, and abhor. Go figure! It's his problem, he's the one who needs lots of 'therapy', with GOD Himself, man can't do a thing for him, but stroke his ego, and doom his soul! jmho!
Agree. F****t Mike has a myriad of psycological problems that would take a team of Viennese doctors a year to diagnose. Personally I think he has a crush on Stone who he sees as a father/authority figure.

Boofie, if you are going to practice psychiatry without a license, at least try to spell psychological correctly, K? http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/cgi/prosoma.dll?searchby=offender&id=1869408335399 Murron tried to get dirt on me and probably paid badlie to do the background check. If this is the best results you can give her four eyes, she deserves a refund. The guy above is the Californian she was hoping was me. And if she got the hots from him and thus is devastated into deep depression and disappointment, she lives in Kentucky. She can always go out in the hills and find a bubba like him that craves 14 year old girls or younger without even breaking a sweat trying. So she does not have my sympathy.
This side by side comparison reveals that the hetrophobe on the left, is a lot queerer.
Is the one on the right you? Or between the two of you does Mike have more huevos?
