This, according to EWTN News:
A University of Texas sociologist is being investigated for scientific “misconduct,” after angering gay activists with research suggesting children raised by same-sex couples have more problems as adults.
Professor Mark Regnerus defended his June 2012 findings in an e-mail to the Austin American-Statesman newspaper, saying he worked with a team of “leading family researchers” from “across disciplines and ideological lines” to develop a protocol approved by the university's review board.
Published in the Social Science Research journal, the work was criticized by homosexual advocates. The university has now convened a panel to investigate Regnerus' alleged “misconduct,” a category including false or plagiarized work as well as “practices that seriously deviate from ethical standards.”
A July 11 article in the Austin American-Statesman indicated that one of Regnerus' fiercest critics, Scott Rosensweig of the “New Civil Rights Movement” blog, may have played a leading role in the university's decision to investigate.
The blogger, who writes for the gay activist site under the name “Scott Rose,” accused Regnerus of ethical violations in a June 21 letter to University of Texas President Bill Powers.
Rosensweig told the president that Regnerus' study was “designed so as to be guaranteed to make gay people look bad, through means plainly fraudulent and defamatory.”
He also claimed that Regnerus, who got funding from the Witherspoon Institute and the Bradley Foundation for his work, had done the research with “money from an anti-gay political organization.”
The university says it will conclude the investigation within two months and make a decision based on its findings. Regnerus did not respond to a request for comment on the inquiry.Commentary. Are you surprised at this blatant effort by homosexualists to stamp out science in the name of their ideology? I'm sure as heck ain't. It has happened before and will continue to happen, as gay "rights" activist continue their quest to impose their morality upon the rest of us, and upon the empirical science they allegedly respect. But not when the findings don't go their way.

How ironic that those who like to criticize the Church's reaction toward Galileo now are acting in the same manner. Tsk tsk.
