Ten years ago, the Daily Beast published an article headlined Are Homophobes Mentally Ill? Science Says ‘Maybe’:
According to findings recently published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, if you harbor homophobic views it’s likely you may also endorse some of the following dysfunctions: misogynism, psychoticism, uber-religiosity, immature coping mechanisms, [discomfort] with close relationships, and above-average levels of anger, aggression, hostility, and hyper-masculinity.
Of the nine claimed associations, seven are false. In fact, five of the listed variables do not exist in the study.
Moreover, Duarte points out, the study found that "the higher people were in 'homophobia' the less depressed and neurotic they were." It's as if being liberal is a mental illness.
Beyond the Daily Beast lying about what the study showed, Dr. Duarte also explains why the underlying study is flawed and never actually shows homophobia. He explains that the major flaws are normal slight of hand frequently used in the social sciences to establish a correlation where one may never exist.
But his strongest objection was to the Daily Beast labeling "homophobia" as a disease even though there is nothing wrong with being disgusted by homosexuality or its practices.
Something very dark has been happening specifically in efforts to make normal people feel like something is wrong with them. A key element of “woke” is to invert the normal and abnormal, beauty and ugliness, health and disease. This subversion is what it means to “queer” something in leftist parlance.
