Antigay psychologist says gays more likely to drink and drive
http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid19677.asp

what bullshit

A psychologist who has been accused of doctoring his research to promote his antigay agenda is at it again, this time with a study that links homosexuality to drunk driving. If you're gay, according to psychologist Paul Cameron, you're twice as likely as straight people to drink and drive. Cameron published those findings in the June issue of Psychological Reports, based on data from the 1996 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse.

2. Republicans are more likely to drink and drive because of their innate
arrogance and unhealthy egos that have no basis in reality.

5. One thing I will never understand about these people ...
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 03:39 PM by meegbear
is that they say that gays only represent about 2-3% of the population, but if there is something negative ....

If we use their numbers: 3% of the population is twice as likely to drink and drive as the other 97%?!?

And Paul, don't you think you should be using data a tad more recent than 1996?

8. This man needs to be committed. . .
like most wingnuts, he's only using half his mental faculties. .. but this one is even worse - he actually can't figure out where his research flaws are...
