Yes, though I don't know of any specific ones to show you.
Similarly, there is the "priming effect", where you can have two buttons for blue and red, and a whit screen alternating the two randomly. If you prime the mind with an imperceptible word "blue" studies have shown that the person will press the button for blue faster, and when shown red, would press it slower, showing that the mind was primed.
It's similar, but I'm not sure the methodology has loads of backup. Semantic association is pretty well defined, but the specific measures used in this test seem a little awkward. Like, I'm not sure "me" would be priming enough.

If you read the OP, it said 20%. So, you still have 4/5 of being straight.

Yeah, I'm concerned that priming with "me" would definitely mean "this is how I think about myself", since that is what the study hinges on.


I once stumbled upon this site: http://gayhomophobe.com/
It documents anti-gay public figures who ended up being gay themselves.
Signature goes here!
So this is all based on a 35 millisecond subliminal message. Kind of a weak stretch if you ask me.
And I agree with the guy above me that said the term homophobic is wayyyyy overused now, same with racist.

Then you're pretty intolerant yourself, aren't you?

That's not intolerant. I want the kids to make the choice of becoming a Christian by themselves. Parents are practically forcing them to follow their religion.

Preventing people from passing on their values to their own children because you feel you know better than they do is the very definition of intolerance. It is certainly more intolerant than someone who would simply want the government to not recognize a homosexual union as marriage.
Children always have the option of rejecting their upbringing. Many do it without such busybodying as you want.

Sperm too has its own DNA, and so does the egg. It's not a human being if it's not even aware of its own existence yet.
