A few things about the study finding I posted:
A. Things like "well a lot of my friends dislike gays and I doubt all are latent gays," doesn't really contribute anything at all. Like, at all.
B. Obv I doubt the study is conclusive and a larger sample size would be needed.

I think my statement has about the same amount of weight behind it as the study you presented to us. i.e. probably not much atall. Thinking 80% of homophobes are latent/closet homosexuals is just ridiculous.

Except one actually did some research, however small, and one is just an assumption about some dudes you know. There are varying degrees of sexuality, meaning not every homophobe is completely gay. I agree that 80% is ridiculous, but if you look at the most hardcore, extreme anti-gay people, I would not be surprised at all if a decent amount were some level of gay. To come out unprovoked and loudly exclaim how hetero you are and how much gays suck when everyone will presume you are hetero to begin with just reeks of insecurity.
