Thanks, Ron. I figured that this so-called study was just right wing propaganda by those with an anti-gay agenda. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2023/03/20/journal-places-warning-flawed-abuse-homosexuality-study A Journal Article on Gay People, to Be Viewed With Caution A peer-reviewed journal placed a warning to readers last month on a flawed article from 2001. But the journal hasn’t retracted it, as a professor who discovered errors has called for. Last month, more than 20 years after the Archives of Sexual Behavior published research surveying gay people about whether they were molested as children—and whether they identified as gay before or after—a note appeared online. “A reader alerted the editor-in-chief that there were concerns regarding some of the data,” the four-paragraph note on the article says. In particular, the article’s authors had written that 68 percent of gay men they surveyed identified as such after being molested, and the lead author’s dissertation also said this. Yet a table in the same article said 68 percent identified as gay before being molested. Grove City, in Pennsylvania, is a Christian liberal arts college. Throckmorton said he found the discrepancy when he and a colleague there were doing a literature review on the correlates of homosexuality—mostly “to convince Christian organizations not to lie to the public about gays.” Both he and Hemant Mehta’s “Friendly Atheist” blog have noted that the flawed article, “Comparative Data of Childhood and Adolescence Molestation in Heterosexual and Homosexual Persons,” plays into the idea that gay men “groom” children to become gay.

No.

Not in my spot of L.A. or anywhere else I have traveled.

Or so you believe. I have seen no proof of that.

Link?

Yes, it can if it is Kinsey or Masters and Johnson but that wasn't the case here.

Meh. One study can't prove anything.

One study where we aren't familiar with the organization that did it, where they get their funding from, what the methodology they used is and what the peer review findings were means nothing.

Who thinks that?

One study by itself means nothing, especially by some organization I've never heard of (we don't know where they get their funding from. We don't know the methodology they used, and we don't know if it was subject to any peer review).

No it isn't and one study by itself still really doesn't prove anything. Was it subjected to peer review and what were their findings?

I don't believe in the supernatural, so I don't believe in evil as a force or that anyone in evil, although there are people that do evil things.

So you think Biden is evil too. Well, at least you are consistent.

Thank you, I knew I had read that but haven't had to time to look it up or do the math.

Translation: you think Schiff is evil. Okey Dokey Pokey,.

One study done in 2001 that has not been replicated to my knowledge is not terribly persuasive. And it doesn't show that a majority of gay men and lesbians have been molested, as claimed, with 46% of gay men and 22% of lesbian women reporting molestation (we don't know how many of the 942 participants in the study were men and how many were women, so a total percentage of the combined group can not be given).

If you don't get that he was trying to be humorous, then it is you who is completely out of touch.

Wait, what? You think Adam Schiff is evil?

Fine. Prove it. We are all waiting with bated breath.

No it wasn't hilarious, but even though Joe could never do stand up, it was an attempt at humor.

Not true. The "recruitment meme is a falsehood that goes back to the 50's and has no statistical proof to support it.

I've never heard anyone make that claim about Obama and journalists but you. Why should I spend an hour doing Google searches for something that doesn't exist because, so there is nothing I can find. If what you say is true, it should be well documented. Provide a credible link to back up your claim

You can't make this stuff up!

I can't be informed if no one provides any proof to back up the claims of an "unprecedented" number of journalists being arrested by Obama.

You keep saying that but I have seen no proof that statement is true.
