Here are some interesting theories on why there are gay people and where homophobia comes from.The first one has Flumper written all over it.I'm more of the low disgust sensitivity threshold type of homophobic.I don't hate gay people but if you've ever smelled a mens bathroom at a sporting event its hard to see whats attractive about my fellow man.

A study by Henry Adams and his colleagues at the University of Georgia showed that, on a penile plethysmograph measure, aggressively homophobic men tend to get sexually aroused by explicit gay male pornography.

• According to Vanderbilt psychologist Bunmi Olatunji and his colleagues, homophobia is a misnomer, given that aversion to gays does not represent an actual phobia, but is rather driven primarily by disgust and irrational contagion beliefs.

• Similarly, Cornell researcher David Pizarro (who has his own blog column here at PT, incidentally) further revealed in a recent study that individuals who have a low-disgust sensitivity threshold (that is, they're easily grossed out) are more likely to hold both conservative attitudes and to be averse to gays.

• Based on survey studies, evolutionary psychologist Gordon Gallup has argued that homophobic reactions are rooted to people's folk theory that children "learn" to be gay by being exposed to gay adults. Thus, because parents have a vested genetic interest in the reproductive status of their biological offspring, homophobia is exacerbated whenever gay people have contact with children.



As evolutionary psychologist David Buss has said, homosexuality is a "genuine evolutionary puzzle," so take your pick among these possible solutions (or come up with your own):

• E.O. Wilson's kin altruism theory states that homosexuality was a rare but functional alternative to traditional routes of increasing inclusive fitness because gay people in the ancestral past, who weren't burdened with their own kids, helped to raise, care for, and provide resources to their other genetic relatives, such as nieces and nephews. (This one doesn't quite gel, especially when you consider that a gay person's resources are usually funneled to their same-sex partners. Also, for most people, being gay doesn't exactly endear you to your relatives.)

• Evolutionary psychologist Frank Muscarella's alliance formation theory proposes that, in the ancestral past, homoerotic behaviours by young men with high status older men would have been an effective strategy for climbing up the social ladder. (Think Ancient Greece, or maybe Mark Foley?)

• John Maynard Smith is often credited with what is colloquially called the "sneaky f*cker theory," which argues that gay men in the ancestral past had unique access to the reproductive niche because females let their guards down around them and other males didn't view them as sexual competitors. (I rather like this one: remember, we're not infertile, we're just gay. Although in my case, it'd take a lot of gin to work.)
