The Truthful Research The LGBT Couldn’t Tolerate

What do you do with research that doesn’t match your opinion? You demonize it, of course. That shows how tolerant you are. Dr. Mark Regnerus is a professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin and a senior fellow at the Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture. The author of 40 articles in peer-reviewed journals, his research and scholarly essays have appeared in media outlets as diverse as Slate and First Things. Dr. Regnerus’ books include The Future of Christian Marriage (2020), Cheap Sex: The Transformation of Men, Marriage, and Monogamy (2017), Premarital Sex In America: How Young Americans Meet, Mate, and Think About Marrying (2011), and Forbidden Fruit: Sex and Religion In The Lives of American Teenagers (2006). He and his wife Deeann have three children. Topics discussed in this episode of the Dr. J Show include Many "scientific&quot, research studies are driven by, and corrupted by, an agenda.

There are professional pressures on researchers to ignore basic factors. The promiscuity &amp, relationship instability of the homosexual lifestyle inevitably leads to break-ups, which most harm children. Among homosexuals, "open&quot, relationships of tolerated cheating is just "another way of loving.&quot, SCOTUS’ Obergefell decision did nothing to diminish sexual minority distress. The fact is, neither hormones nor surgery helps mental health issues in transgenders. Even though a pro-trans study may be proven wrong, it still gets shared (cited) all around the world. LGBTQIA&#43, social media trolls create scandals and/or crises to discredit studies that disprove the gay or trans agenda. Homosexuals and transgenders do not like reality (the truths of this life).
