AI 'Gaydar.'

Some research assistants with waaaay too much time on their hands.

"You're gay."

"No I'm not."

"The machine says so, and machines don't lie."

"F**k the machine!"

"See, you're Gay!"

"No I'm not!"

"It's OK..machines need love too."
Oh, my, that was brilliant.

This whole thing is utterly absurd.

This is important for routing out people like:
Evangelicals
GOP Pols
Catholic Priests

and many other populations.

After all, wouldn't those voting for "Family Values" want to know if their Congress Critter was gay? Wouldn't we all want to know if high officials in the church are?

AI is the next BIG thing...never heard of this experiment tho. Makes sense tho.

... could end gayness entirely. Someday soon mothers will go in for routine prenatal tests and find out that the mix of hormones in their body will likely produce a baby with homosexual tendencies, but that a safe, simple hormone therapy is available. Will LGBTQ activists be the ones holding signs outside maternity clinics in the future? Will they press to have gay prevention therapy outlawed?

Gotta be true.

Nothing is true until Fox News says it's true.

I only care about 'high officials' in the church are gay IF they preach and follow an anti-gay message. If so, then yeah I sure do want to know.

We already know the most homophobic GOP'ers are usually caught in a bathroom soliciting a young boy.

Supports the fact that being gay is innate rather than a choice.
