I have so much to say about this subject. Read the articles first.
Time Magazine article: Yep, They're Gay
London Times: Science Told: Hands Off Gay Sheep
Here is the gist:
Their is more mating ritual research to show that about 8% of rams have sex with other male rams regularly. And now, PETA is fighting Oregon researchers that are cutting up ram brains to see what makes them gay ["Charles Roselli of Oregon Health & Science University has killed about 55 sheep, homosexual and heterosexual, in order to study the neurological basis of sexual attraction."]. London Times put out an article about researchers that may able to find a 'cure' for gay people or a way to take off whatever causes homosexuality in an unborn fetus. So this of course set off the bloggers and Rush Limbaugh.
So I maybe one of those that ally with Martina Navratilova (also I am grouped with those bloggers) that call these people that chopped up these poor animals homophobes. Yes, it is a bit unorthodox and morally ambiguous, maybe they could have done something more justifiable. Something also curious: ["The Oregon group's work has shown, however, that gay rams have different brain structures from heterosexual ones, news that should cheer those who see homosexuality and heterosexuality as mere biological variations."] I don't know what to think about that. Also this Oregon group hasn't be successful in finding anything like a 'cure' so just like wanting to achieve something is not the same as actually achieving it. I hope this doesn't turn into X-Men: The Last Stand.
