i just took the implicit preference test for sexuality, and i have to say that they really missed the mark on their interpretation. it was one of those tests, maybe you've taken one, where you have to hit one of two keys when an image or word comes on the screen, in this case starting with gay or straight images or words, then good or bad images or words, and then combinations for gay and straight, and good and bad. then based on how quickly you are able to group the good or bad words with gay or straight, you are judged on a preference. i was judged to have a light preference for gay over straight.
the problem is, i think the conclusion of a "preference" based on associating certain words with gayness doesn't really make sense. Yes, a person might associate such words as "tragic" "humiliate" and "painful" with gayness. that doesn't have anything to do with a "preference" against it. it seems to me that the lives of gay people are often "tragic" and involve "painful" and "humiliating" experiences, so yeah certainly I would link those more quickly than i would with straight. that's not a preference, it's a sad fact!
