do you think that most guys that are the worst homophobic ones are secretly gay.
i saw a show on cable about that.
they were testing two groups of "straight" guys
one group was very comfortable with their sexuality and had no homophobic issues
the other group had very homophobic issues.
they were not told what the study was about.
they put them one by one in a room and and put a device around thier wrist to measure pulse, and around their penis to measure arousal.
then showed them a series of videos of straight and gay porn.
the study showed that the straight guys who were comfortable with their sexuality and were not homophobes had no reaction to the gay porn....while most of the homophobic "straight" guys got aroused while watching the gay porn...
...............aint that at biaaach!!!

No, I don't think that is always the case. Sure, you will have those individuals who aren't quite ready to come "out of the closet," but you also have those that have been raised to think that homosexuality is wrong and/or extremely perverse. Usually, when you come from a family with such strong beliefs, you carry those beliefs throughout adulthood. In some instances, such individuals learn to accept homosexuals and their lifestyles, therefore, changing their overall perceptions of gays. The individuals that you speak of, however, are obviously not able to do so. It's just a matter of individuals--men, in this case-- fearing the unknown.(Which, in my personal opinion, is sad.)

Not necessarily. Alot of those "homophobic" people may be uncomfortable and unsure about their own sexuality, which is why they put on that antagonizing personality.
But, ofcourse, it's not always that way.

I do think that people who are homophobic are more likely to have repressed homosexual urges. Why else would they care what goes on in other people's bedrooms?
