We been knew!

"In a new study that will surprise absolutely no one, researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia found that people with lower intelligence are also more likely to have prejudices against gay people. But what does this low IQ homophobia study really reveal about homophobes and intelligence? Let’s take a closer look.

Details of the low IQ homophobia study

In a study entitled “The Cognitive Roots of Prejudice Towards Same-Sex Couples: An Analysis of an Australian National Sample,” researchers analyzed data acquired from over 11,654 Australians in the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA), a representative annual survey of the Australian public.

The 2012 HILDA survey measured respondents’ cognitive abilities — particularly their reading ability, attention span and memory — and the 2015 HILDA survey asked people to respond to the statement “Homosexual couples should have the same rights as heterosexual couples do” on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).

Researchers found a correlation between individuals who scored low on the cognitive tests and those who didn’t think gay couples should have the same rights as straight couples. This doesn’t mean that lower intelligence causesanti-gay attitudes (or vice-versa), merely that the two correlate."

I bet similar studies would have similar results when you look at other bigotry like racism, xenophobia, sexism, even transphobia :sis: 

It's really easy to not be any of these things, just have empathy and listen to people different from you :ladyhaha: 

私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから

That the author stated "will surprise absolutely no one" makes me feel even better than the actual research.
