Who Are the Straight Men Who Support Gay Marriage?

The ones, evidently, who watch pornographic movies.

New research published in the peer-reviewed academic journal Communication Research found that watching pornography, at least among straight men, links to supporting same-sex marriage rights.  “Our study suggests that the more heterosexual men, especially less educated heterosexual men, watch pornography, the more supportive they become of same-sex marriage,” Indiana University assistant professor Paul Wright told the Washington Examiner. Wright co-authored the study with Ashley Randall, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Arizona.  The Boston Globe reports that the study found men who had viewed more porn in 2008 were more likely to support same-sex marriage in 2010.  Specifically, the study abstract said, “Support for same-sex marriage did not prospectively predict pornography consumption, but pornography consumption did prospectively predict support for same-sex marriage. Education was also positively associated with support for same-sex marriage.”

Well there ya go… Persons perverted by the dysfunction wrought by pornography are more willing to embrace ‘deviant’ behavior.  I shall now have just cause to cast a sideways glance at my friends who support gay marriage – thinking to myself “I know what you’ve been watching!”
