About This Project

What makes some people react to the sight of two men holding hands with anger, hatred & violence?
Can we use science to find out exactly what goes on in the minds and bodies of prejudiced individuals in the precise moment that they witness a same-sex public display of affection?
We've reached our primary goal of $7500 with 12 days to spare - this means that the study will happen! The total cost of the study, however, is $15,000. You can continue to make donations up until November 18, 2013 - and every contribution will go towards the costs of the study! Thank you so much for all of your support - this is going to be a great study and I'm really excited to finally get started!

Blast off!
