One hypothesis is that gays are avoided and excluded because they are seen as ineffective coalition partners when competing for women.<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-53145-010</ref> However historical male warrior societies like Sparta (mannerbund concept being typically correlated with homosexuality, see also the Stumabteilung (SA) in Nazi Germany, which was riddled with homosexuality, including the leader of the SA, Ernst Röhm, before the leadership was purged during the Night of the Long Knives) and Thebes (the legendary Theban band, made up solely of male homosexual couples) seem to seem to challenge the theory that homophobia results from poorer male group cohesion. | |||
An alternate hypothesis claims that homophobia is not mediated by homosexual men being poorer coalition partners, but is instead caused by friction between men who seek to forge coalitions based on competence and accrual of resources vs men who forge alliances based on intimate homosexual relationships.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780124201903000302</ref> | An alternate hypothesis claims that homophobia is not mediated by homosexual men being poorer coalition partners, but is instead caused by friction between men who seek to forge coalitions based on competence and accrual of resources vs men who forge alliances based on intimate homosexual relationships.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780124201903000302</ref> | ||
