A new scientific study, from King's College London, is reported on this week by gay newswire Pink News. The study grouped liberals and people with right wing views into two broad groups according to their answering of questions that have sometimes been – mostly by political reactionaries – identified as battlegrounds in a “cultural war”. One of the questions was on transgender rights and whether they were legitimate, and another question was about Black Lives Matter protests and whether they were reasonable. People who opposed issues such as BLM or trans rights were quizzed on economic and scientific facts, such as the fact that Black British employees earn around nine per cent less than the equivalent social class of white British employees. In the majority of cases, the right wing conservatives believes false facts and flatly refused to believe demonstrably provable pieces of evidence. “It's finally been proven” blogged one lesbian reviewer, “straight conservatives, anti-trans feminists and traditional values headcases are delusional”.
