What the hell is Campbridge University Press doing being associated with an editorial staff that would let this academic atrocity (Paul Cameron’s “Children of Homosexuals And Transsexuals More Apt To Be Homosexual”) get in print?
This story made it around a few blogs a few days ago and I was so appalled by what's literally the shoddiest piece of "science" I've ever actually seen put in a journal that while I thought I had to say something about it, I lacked the words to express my outrage and disbelief. And I still don't know what to say. Cameron is part of the problem of course. His skewed hypotheses and blatant inability to read data are deeply disturbing. But to me the much bigger crime against the readers of this journal and those who might see the article was perpetrated by the editors of this journal. How such a malicious, sloppy and inaccurately explained study could get published is beyond me.
