You are so quick to dismiss that you did not read the mention about a US data set.

The US data set is said to have "confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice". Nothing there about conservative political opinions. You are making some assumptions here, as you are about the effect of social class on political position. I doubt that the English working class or its immigrants from the former colonies have abandoned the Labor party. I don't [b]know[/b] that to be the case.

[/quote]No, I think you are unaware that conservatism is a political And socialphilosophy that endeavors to maintain traditional institutions. that includes views on homosexuality. That is not to say that all conservatives believe this, but it is part of the package, as evidenced by the candidates for president. [/quote]

Are you saying that being anti-gay equals being socially conservative?  Those two things may overlap at times, but it's a HUGE leap to say that the findings based on the US data set are anywhere close to even suggesting what the title of this post asserts. Are you by chance a closet conservative, PP?[/quote]

No I am liberal, and mine is the first response to the op if you want to see what i think about the conclusions.

But I find your argument weak. You obviously don't like the conclusion, you declare the data not relevant without reading the study, certain that social class has not been accounted for. When in fact if read the whole paper, you will realize this is false.[/quote]
