Homophobic? Then You're Probably Gay

"I recently interviewed Dean [Terrance Dean author of Hiding in Hip Hop] for Attitude, Britain's best-selling gay magazine. He told me about a man - I don't believe in outing, so I won't give his name - who "has been named in the past as one of the biggest rappers of all time by MTV. He's always trashing gay men in his lyrics. But he is surrounded by a posse of transvestites," who he has sex with. Dean then runs through a list of hip-hop gays, each more famous and closeted than the last.

There is some scientific evidence suggesting Dean is right. Professor Henry Adams at the University of Georgia conducted a major study in the 1990s, where he took several groups of men who identified as heterosexual and expressed hostility to gays, and wired them up so the blood flow to their penises could be monitored. He then showed them gay porn - and some 80 percent became aroused. He concluded that since "most homophobes demonstrate significant sexual arousal to homosexual erotic stimuli", anti-gay hatred is probably "a form of latent homosexuality."
