Last week a New York Times article -
'Homophobic? Maybe You're Gay' - reported on some of the recent research claiming to show that "homophobia can result, at least in part, from the suppression of
same-sex desire."
As with the
the other studies reported in the UK last month, this was greeted with much wild cheering and high-fiving by many gay men
.
"Hey ya! Told ya so! In your face, closet case!" etc etc
.
The number of tweets this unleashed
, you'd think it was some kind of gay VE Day.
Why question "science" if it's telling you something you really want to - or really need to - believe?
Even if that shows a very
unscientific faith over reason?
Here Daniel Engberg writes for Slate about how the NYT's study veers between stating the bleeding obvious, and some extremely questionable research methods;
'Homo Say What?'
