Yeah, except that Stan Lee said that mutants were an allegory for blacks in the 60s, so nice try, Ratner

The technique being developed by American researchers adjusts the hormonal balance in the brains of homosexual rams so that they are more inclined to mate with ewes. There's a problem in their thinking. As study after study has demonstrated, the environment in which children are raised plays a major factor in determining homosexuality. To state hormonal balance is responsible for same-sex attraction is to demonstrate a profound ignorance of the subject.
What needs to be understood is linkage and association (The Gay Gene?)
He said: In general, sexuality has been under-studied because of political concerns.
The understatement of the last 50 years. As scientists have stated, it's too bad we can't study sexuality without all the political concerns. Unfortunately, politics trumps the truth.

Michael Bailey, a neurology professor at Northwestern University near Chicago, said: “Allowing parents to select their children’s sexual orientation would further a parent’s freedom to raise the sort of children they want to raise.” That sounds like pro choice to me. Why are the liberals against it?

not a trait that can be bred out. Natural selection would have done so long ago. What the article suggests is that Homosexuality is a birth defect not a trait. According to the theory behind the study genetics has nothing to do with Homosexuality.
The theory behind the research is that during pregnancy the hormone levels in the mothers blood stream become imbalanced and subtly alter the development of the fetal brain causing improper sexual orientation of the child.
I think it would be fantastic if a life altering birth defect could be prevented by the mother to be wearing a simple hormone patch.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. "Women in comfortable shoes" is a slang term for lesbians.

simple hormone patch.In my simple little country folk opinion, the best hormone patch is for the father of a boy to spent time helping raise the boy. Monkey see, monkey do.

Its a touchy issue. In fact, several studies have shown that people who believe homosexuality is biologically based are less homophobic than people who think that this orientation is acquired. Only 10% of homosexual men are born that way. The rest just get sucked into it.

Being able to eliminate homosexuality by birth would be great. The comment I responded to was that being gay was a choice, though. Last I heard, birth defects weren't a choice any more than genetics.
