More and more gay people are making their partners take lie detector tests


With cheating on the rise, more and more gay people are asking their partners to take lie detector tests because of Grindr. At least, according to Andrew Goldstein, a.k.a. “the Polygraph Examiner.”

Goldstein has specialized in confirming and/or debunking cases of infidelity for over a decade. He has administered thousands of polygraph tests since 2008.

According to Goldstein’s website, polygraph tests are the most accurate way to establish trust when anyone has been accused of cheating in their relationship. Polygraphs help establish a baseline of trust even when there was prior cheating admitted to in the past. For accuracy, Goldstein uses the same polygraph testing equipment that is used in murder cases. 

About seven years ago, Goldstein started noticing an uptick in LGBTQ clientele. Speaking to qnotes, he remembers the first time a man came to his office and asked him to perform a lie detector test on his husband.

After that, Goldstein altered his preliminary questioning to be more inclusive of same-sex couples. As soon as he did, he saw a flood of LGBTQ clients wanting to know the truth about their significant others
