In reply to the discussion: Coldwell Banker Cuts Ties With Correspondent After 'Homosexual Impulses' Remark About Shooter [View all]cosmicone
(11,014 posts)18. I have mixed feelings about this
Repressed sexual impulses are a contributing factor to many violent outbursts and right or wrong, what she described is established science (if one can call psychology a science - which is also debatable.)
It is well-known that the most vitriolic homophobes have latent homosexual impulses. People who accept other people's sexual preference without prejudice are usually secure in their own sexuality.
Perhaps she should have explained it better -- as in -- "a few rare" people with previously disturbed psyches and under the influence of massive doses of alcohol may be triggered to be violent due to repressed sexual impulses. But then, it wouldn't have fit the Faux news agenda.
