IMHO: Narcissism is a pathology of defense mechanisms that protect a damaged ego. Insecurity and a failure to resolve the Oedipal complex leads to contempt for the mother (and all women). The inability to love one's mother results in repressed guilt and more self hatred. This malignant self love is directed at a same sex partner.

As one of the few conservative homosexuals willing to post on FR, I feel I need to address your over-generalization about mother hating and how it "makes" men gay. I have always had a great loving relationship with both of my parents. There was no Oedipal complex in my family and I don't hate women. I'm just not attracted to them sexually--never have, never will.

So does my sister hate her mother? After all, she's married to a man (gasp).
