Lie to Me, Facial Recognition of Sexual Orientation
A segment from the television show "Lie to Me" claims that people have a "sixth sense" to identify gay men based on facial muscle tension, citing the Journal of Experimental Psychology. The hosts condemn this as dangerous pseudo-science and compare it to the physiological "skull measurement" propaganda used in Nazi Germany. They argue such content is socially divisive and factually incorrect.
