Peer reviewed study published in Science Journal turns out to be fraud.

May 23, 2015 at 11:49 am (This post was last modified: May 23, 2015 at 11:52 am by YGninja.)

A 'gay conversion' study published in Science Journal has been shown to be a fraud.

The study, widely reference in mainstream media, purported to show that more people would accept gay marriage, if only they could chat to an actual LGBT person. Once they were 'enlightened' by speaking to an LGBT, they would be far more likely to support gay marriage. Obviously you are meant to infer that opposition to gay marriage only exists within ignorant and uneducated circles.

The study was accepted and published throughout the mainstream media until a group attempted to replicate the results, and found they could not. When asking for the original data, the lead scientist of the study, Michael LaCour, who is set to become assistant professor at Princeton in July, claimed it had been 'lost', and has not been able to supply any source material.

The study has been retracted by the author after colleague admitted data was faked, but Science Journal is yet to retract it.
