At the risk of being snide, i'm going to quote back the original line here. Nothing in your response justifies the dismissal of what i'm saying. You may disagree with the application here, but that response is a non sequiter to my original posting.

My feeling is that anything that paints GBLTQ communities in a light that furthers stereotypes and misinformation is going to be contraversial and blasted by the communities that it harms and their allies.
regardless of the particular truth value of the latest research, Bailey has conducted research in unethical and damaging ways. his reports reflect personal bias and subjective language not fit for scientific use. again...whatever the truth value of the claims here, it's a beauty called "repeatable results." Until these claims are verified by researchers who use ethical means of collecting data, and use objective language to interpret their results, i will feel no obligation to take this report as more than speculative.
