Researchers: Data faked in study about LGBT canvassers changing voters' minds

A study published in December in Science magazine claiming that LGBT people advocating marriage equality can change voters' minds has been retracted after it was discovered that University of California at Los Angeles graduate student Michael LaCour faked results. The study claimed that a 20-minute, one-on-one conversation with an LGBT political canvasser could steer voters in favor of same-sex marriage.
