Ladies, if you’re worried your man may be watching too much porn behind your back, please believe the LGBTQ community when we say: It’s totally OK! A new study published in the Communication Research journal says that straight men who watch lots of porn are more likely to support same-sex marriage. The reasoning, explains Indiana University Assistant Professor Paul Wright in an article in the Washington Examiner, is pretty simple:

Pornography adopts an individualistic, nonjudgmental stance on all kinds of nontraditional sexual behaviors and same-sex marriage attitudes are strongly linked to attitudes about same-sex sex. If people think individuals should be able to decide for themselves whether to have same-sex sex, they will also think that individuals should be able to decide for themselves whether to get married to a partner of the same-sex. … Since a portion of individuals’ sexual attitudes come from the media they consume, it makes sense that pornography viewers would have more positive attitudes towards same-sex marriage.

Five-hundred straight men were surveyed over the course of a six-year period, which showed “over-time increases in support for same-sex marriage.” The authors of the study also note that, even though “lesbian porn is quite popular among straight males,” the study reflects “a change in males’ attitude regarding male-male marriage,” too.

In January, pornhub.com released results from a study of their own that say people in Washington D.C. watch twice as much porn as any other state in the U.S. Good news, considering gay marriage is up for a huge vote next month in the Supreme Court. Anyone have a few good links we could email judges Thomas and Roberts?
