Correction, it's an irrational fear of homosexuals. You have absolutely no reason to fear them.

and if you do, you might be interested to know there's experimental evidence of a correlation between homophobia in men and physical arousal to male homosexual stimuli.

And what? The implication is that you'd like to throw your lot in with the "those who don't consider homosexuality to be right are really closet homosexuals" deception.

If such papers bear out (I've seen one such study but didn't read this one) then are we supposed to say "we should just follow our basic sexual stimuli to determine our ethics".

Often an irrational fear leading to anger and hatred. Or is it the other way around?
