\"GayDarThink you may have ‘gaydar’? Well, a new study claims it has the long-awaited answer to whether it exists. Researchers at University<\/a> of Wisconsin-Madison’s Department of Psychology conducted a study to determine if some people really are able to ‘detect’ another’s sexuality\u2014which they’re confident will finally debunk the myth once and for all.<\/p>\n

Participants were instructed to look at the social media profiles of different men and then asked to determine whether they were gay<\/a> or straight<\/a>. The profiles either had stereotypically gay or stereotypically straight interests, and interestingly, the participants who were told gaydar is real stereotyped much more than those who were told that gaydar is just another term for stereotyping. According to the researchers, \u201cThese patterns provided strong support for the idea that belief in gaydar encourages stereotyping by simply disguising it under a different label.\u201d The study’s takeaway is simple: \u201cEncouraging stereotyping under the guise of gaydar contributes\u2014directly or indirectly\u2014to stereotyping\u2019s downstream consequences.\u201d In other words, gaydar only perpetuates prejudice.<\/p>\n
