Study: Homophobic attitudes 'associated with psychosis and other forms of mental illness'

Study: Homophobic attitudes 'associated with psychosis and other forms of mental illness' - The College Fix:
"A paper by a cadre of Italian researchers claims that anti-gay, or “homophobic,” attitudes are signs of a possible mental disorder.
That’s right — for, as one of the study’s authors noted, “… for the first time we demonstrated that the real disease to be cured is homophobia, associated with potentially severe psychopathologies.”
But Cornell University’s William M. Briggs scoffs:

“Potentially severe psychopathologies?
Sounds like the sort of thing that requires treatment, perhaps even against the will of the patients.”
Is this study worthy of its bombast?
Not according to Briggs:
...Consider, for example, some of the questions on the 25-item “Homophobia Scale,” scored 1 to 5, from “Strongly agree” to “Strongly disagree”:
–Homosexuality is acceptable to me.
–Marriage between homosexual individuals is acceptable.
–Homosexuality is immoral.
–Organizations which promote gay rights are necessary.
–Homosexual behavior should not be against the law.
