But then, you probably don't BELIEVE <g> in scientific studies, do you Craig!:-)

Your credulity is flabbergasting! "Scientific study" -- LOL! Did you stop for one moment to consider the methodology of this study? That it was based on 35 men classified by the researchers as "homophobic"?

Reactions: (based on erections!)

Insignificant --- 7 men
Moderate -- 9 men
Definite -- 19 men

You are telling us that you believe the reactions of 19 men constitute proof with scientific certainty?

Do you project this finding to a U.S. population of 132,617,000 males?
Or do you project it to a world population of 2,354,000,000 males?

Does your acceptance of this sample (35 men) reflect the sum total of your knowledge about sampling theory?

How do you suppose the researchers measured erections of 28 out of 35 men as to classify them as "moderate" or "definite"? Do you have any curiosity about how they did this, as to assert it with scientific certainty?

Plese reaffirm for us again, that this experiment meets your criteria for a "scientific study" which explains once and for all the basis of homophobia.
