What an idiotic study. With the current climate it's no wonder stupid ass studies like this come out. The next "study" will be, "people with low iq shown to not want transgenders in their bathrooms!" Or some dumb sensationalized shit like that to get you lgtbdfg thinking you're on the right side of history.

Sounds like bullshit.


Prime example of the low cognitive ability that the study outlines lmfao.

I admitted directly that I don't have one. That does not mean that I have to concede that their existence is purely hypothetical

You can say the same for Unicorns. Why did you feel the need to call the existence of something you can't prove?


Because there's great evidence that such arguments do exist. There's absolutely no evidence that unicorns exist. This is a fallacious comparison.

No there isn't. As to your nuclear weapon comparison, I took a quick look on Google and found multiple arguments for and against their use. I looked on Google and found zero anti gay arguments that didn't circle back to the Bible or "destroying the moral fabric of society"

You found arguments for their usage maybe, but prove demonstrably how nuclear weapons actually function and work... Go ahead I'll wait. Explain all the necessary steps to split an atom and create a chain reaction explosion that can destroy a city. You can't do so, therefore you can't prove their existence by the exact same logic that you are using to attempt to discredit my argument.

Here's some evidence of Unicorns. Horses exist.

So at this point there's more evidence than intelligent anti-gay arguments.

Unicorns are not horses and the existence of horses in no way proves the existence of unicorns.

Isn't that objective science? I've never looked into that, but surely it's less an argument than a fuckload of highly advanced math and science formulae. I really am not seeing the comparison here.

Unicorns are not horses and the existence of horses in no way proves the existence of unicorns.

Unicorns are described as horned horses. It's still more evidence than you have.

If a horse fucks a narwhal or vice versa, the offspring will be a unicorn... or some weird whale-horse abomination that wouldn't survive on land or in the ocean. Unicorn makes more sense. There, I just proved the existence of unicorns :D

You think people who lash out at this study and come up with nonsensical strawmen are just "questioning" it and it's intellectually dishonest. I can only guess that it's because you also don't think the study's legit

I said it was perfect. I don't have the knowledge to claim whether the study is valid or not. It's just funny that if someone comes up with a valid criticism (Not saying anyone has), it's just going to be "must've hit a nerve". Like, do you really not see it?

Because he is just talking about methodology. He isn't outing himself as a bigot by getting mad at a study accusing homophobes of being dumb. Well founded study or not, it is both hilarious and sad that there are people upset at its statement. "Biased SJW study! I hate gay people and I'm not dumb! Now what?"
