Didn't go past the headline.  Psychological projection.  So what's new?  Did someone receive massive amounts of government money to reach that conclusion?

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Did the study also prove that Martin Luther King Jr. secretly hated black people? Was St. Francis a secret animal-torturer?

We need to apply for a grant to study (for a period of at least five years) the premise that psychologists secretly hate psychology and subconsciously devise studies guaranteed to attract disdain, skepticism, disbelief and ridicule when they are published.

This is what passes for science these days.

Probably paid for with tax dollars at some point in the money stream. 
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Exactly who's obsessed with homosexuality?

How about a study on how some homosexuals are obsessed with proving/showing they are RIGHT and their lifestyle is good and wholesome just like everyone else's.

Persecution complex, not entirely unfounded considering history.  Gun owners suffer from a similar problem (needing to point out every positive aspect of gun ownership or making a big deal out of every defensive use of a gun, etc).

Psychology is not science, thank you very much.  Although, I do agree that a lot of "science" out there is utter crap.

Old news. 
This one gets recycled every 5 years or so.

It can make sense if one accepts the premise that a homosexual act, voluntary or forced, is accompanied by guilt.

this press release is part of a new study to prove that those who defend homophobes, are even more gay.  each of your reactions have been noted, and you will be more carefully observed in the future.  [tinfoil]
make the world idiot proof.....and you will have a world full of idiots. -g2

No, it proves that those who most strongly object to psychology as anti-scientific are most likely to be closet psychologist flat-earthers.

I'm just really really tired of discussions about ANYONE'S sex life being in the news. I don't want to know what anyone else does behind closed doors, whether they're doing it with a member of the opposite sex, same sex, animal, vegetable, or inanimate object. I. Do. Not. Care. If they're doing something that causes harm to someone else then ostracize them, shun them, or punish them, as appropriate to the action, but otherwise, sex - in any fashion - should be private and have no bearing on anything.

Na. Psychology is to science as peyote induced hallucinations by neolithic cavemen are to astronomy.

I explained to a shrink once.  Until you can say, "X causes Y, and this is why" in a repeatable, provable manner with a reasonable degree of accuracy and rigor, psychology is still in the alchemy stage at best.
