Brain Changes Seen in Gay Sheep, U.S. Study Finds

What a load of garbage. Anyone who has spent any time at all around animals knows that males (or females) mount a member of the same sex for dominance - not copulation.

I grew up on a farm (Nebraska) and have witnessed such mountings more than I can say. However, I've never seen a male pass up a female (in heat) to mount another male - it just doesn't happen. There are no homosexual animals.

Me so horrrrnnnny.

Me love ewe long time.

Junk Science again

[Twinkie]

If that is the real aim of the research.

[Fun Bob]

Lobotomizing the defect out of the brain sounds like a reasonable place to start.

miserable failure miserable failure miserable failure miserable failure war criminal

I'm truly stunned that nobody else from class has picked up on this yet!

[atomicpossum]

Do you mean officiating over the marriage, or as one of the spouses?

In San Francisco, it's even money on either.

Not quite. This study and others are following up on ground breaking research by Simon LeVay in the 90s. He showed that certain hypothalamic structures (part of the brain involved in controlling sexual function) were different in homosexual men when compared to heterosexual men and were closer to size and density to female hypothalami.

Homosexuality is a natural phenomenon which is perfectly compatible with a rewarding and fulfilling life

Studies done by homosexual activists are always trying to prove the above proposition. So far none of their research has been scientific enough to pass peer review. The "gay gene" theory has been disavowed by all, except the dream lives on among the wishful thinkers and still lives on as a social mythology.

So "not quite" back to you Ophiucus. So far all these "researchers" have presented are biased attempts at legitimatizing a deviant and morally inferior lifestyle. Dan Quayle was correct, biblically and physically, [not "pc" though] when he said that homosexuality is a bad moral choice.

Just as I thought....arrested development.

So did the ram want to get married?

[CGVet58]

if we're supposedly the most evolved species on the planet, why do the homosexuals consistently point to occasional homosexual behavior among the lesser life forms - I thought we were supposed to be looking towards higher things like God in order to better ourselves.

Shear folly

LOL!

[ThirstyMan]

...but this study is a load of crap. Unneutered male animals will mount anything in sight. Ask a farmer or a pet owner. If anything maybe the genetic abnormality is an inability to tell which animals are females in heat.

I think it's a load of crap too. My neutered male dog would mount the neighbor's male dog all the time. Didn't matter which end of the dog he jumped up on either. He'd just hump away.

Homosexuality is a natural phenomenon which is perfectly compatible with a rewarding and fulfilling life

This proposition is what they all want desperately to prove. They use these bogus "studies" to make us all think they've come up with some marvelous new insight. But it hasn't happened yet.

Yes as someone aptly pointed out, "Sheep Lie!".......and so do "Researchers"

Judging from one of the images on this thread, it probably wanted to get its horn trimmed!

I remember reading about hypothalamic abnormalities in homosexual males years ago, and the response from the homosexual activists was to demand suppression of the findings. A biological disorder cannot be tolerated as the origin of sexuality deviation from the norm, after all. What if a treatment might be developed?

Oh well, it isn't the first time scientific findings were suppressed to advance political agenda: see Stalinist Soviet Union, Fascist Germany, Castro's Cuba, Maoist China, etc., etc.

No wonder Mel Gibson used a woman and dubbed in a male voice to portray Satan . . . Proving his genius!

Satan is pictured as an evil transvestite. LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL !

[dogbrain]

BAH RAM EWE...!

[RichInOC]

Probably more likely to be officiating...it's so hard to find good sheep in San Francisco. The hills are too steep.
