lol, yes it does.

"Although a great deal of research has focused on the profile of homophobic individuals, this research provides little theoretical insight into the aetiology of homophobia". The aim of the study is even in the abstract, loud and clear.

Read the entire sentence.

"provides little theoretical insight into the aetiology of homophobia"

It doesn't delve into its causes.

That line you quoted is refereing the previous research, in contrast with this particular one.

The aim of this study was exactly that, to determine the etiology of homophobia.

Ah, OK.

There will always be repulsion to anything not normative though. I do doubt that that is genetic though. Children's beliefs of what is normal are instilled by everything around them. They think that what is not normal is "weird". It's not wired into their genetic info though. It's just the nature of their environment. If someone was taught everything was normal, they wouldn't be repulsed at certain acts, would they?
