You have it backwards. More like, people such as yourself who consistently "deny science" EXCEPT when it is misused to come to ideological conclusions that align with your archaic worldviews. Of course, it ceases to even be science at that point, but that's another topic.
Science is, generally speaking, a good thing, but it has a complex if not precarious position in capitalist societies, and can (and has been) misused for malicious purposes. The most prominent example of course was the Nazi regime and its pseudo-scientific eugenics program structured around and upon the premise of Aryan supremacy and German nationalism. In a far less extreme but more common and subtle example, it is misused by economists and psychologists, everyday, to perpetuate bourgeois ideals.
This article isn't any better really, and has absolutely no legitimate scientific backing anyways. And even if it did, I would say its being misused here to promote or pander to a heteronormative viewpoint, and therefore, again, that would be ideology and not science.
In short, FOAD.
