It’s an old study from 1997. Most people already know about this but it worth mentioned again.

It has long been held that, deep down, homophobes are really self-hating homosexuals. Now comes evidence to support that notion.

A research team led by Henry Adams, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Georgia, recruited 64 young white male heterosexuals and showed them a video depicting heterosexual sex and another depicting homosexual sex. Their responses were measured by a gauge detecting penile erection. The result: 80% of the homophobic men showed a response to the gay video, while only one third or the nonhomophobic men did. “Men who are upset by being around gay men probably have these tendencies themselves,” Adams said in the February issue of Esquire magazine. “The thing you dislike most in yourself is the kind of thing you might jump on somebody else for.
