Besides, they wouldn't believe ME, I'm only a well-educated psychologist, not a toothless hick priest. Plus, I'm bisexual, so... maybe my opinion isn't entirely unbiased
As for "research"... well... there's some pretty popular "research" in africa right now that states you can cure AIDS by having unprotected sex with virgins. So, a great many HIV infected men are going out and raping young girls... Do NOT trust "research" until you make damned sure where the sources are and what the agendas are.
But, listening to christian fundamentalist research on homosexuality is like listening to the tobacco companies' research on cigarettes. At best it's a bad plan.
