Homophobia: Maybe They're Not Gay

Last week a New York Times article - 'Homophobic? Maybe You're Gay' - reported on some of the recent research claiming to show that "homophobia can result, at least in part, from the suppression of same-sex desire."
As with the the other studies reported in the UK last month, this was greeted with much wild cheering and high-fiving by many gay men.
"Hey ya! Told ya so! In your face, closet case!" etc etc.
The number of tweets this unleashed, you'd think it was some kind of gay VE Day.
Why question "science" if it's telling you something you really want to - or really need to - believe?
Even if that shows a very unscientific faith over reason?
Here Daniel Engberg writes for Slate about how the NYT's study veers between stating the bleeding obvious, and some extremely questionable research methods; 'Homo Say What?'
