Gays vs. Environmentalists, Lesbian Seagulls vs. Al Gore: Liberals Rally Against Science!

Gay advocates are decrying scientific research into whether or not homosexual behavior is really the result of a developmental disorder.

Funny thing is that in the natural sciences there has long been a theory that the gay was caused by something in the endochrin system during fetal development. Environmentalists have long claimed that certain pollutants mimic estrogen and that increased levels of these estrogen mimickers has led---among other things--- to an increase in homosexual behavior in animals.

I kid you not. See for instance Our Stolen Future, which is forwarded by none other than Al Gore. Of course, in that book they make a strong case for homosexuality in animals being caused by human pollution and then, as if on cue, exempt the human race from their findings.

Homosexuality in seagulls is one thing, but it is entirely different if you are on the LPGA. Or a female tennis player. Or in Angelina Jolie. [UPDATE: Did I say "in" Anglina Jolie? Freudian something or other, I'm sure.] Mmmmm, lesbian Angelina Jolie. Nice.

So you see, on the one hand Al Gore wants to blame humans for causing homosexual behavior in animals. That it is a bad thing for lesbian seagulls to want to fly away together. But he also holds the inconsistent belief that the same behavior in humans is natural and normal.

It's quite the paradox then.

How do environmentalists and animal rights activists solve this dilemma? Simple, rally the troops to decry any science which might discover the cause of homesexuality. Any scientific research on the subject is labelled homophobic.

Homosexuality is really problematic in Darwinian terms. Evolutionary principles are stacked against homosexuality being a genetic predisposition. It doesn't exclude the possibility altogether, but it seems less likely than other explanations.

But if a cause can be determined for homosexuality then that implies that an intervention to take away the cause would mean that homosexuality would not develop.

One might even label the intervention a cure. And just to make myself clear, the first person to cure hot chicks of lesbian tendencies will get swift kick square in the nuts.

And so gay activists are not trying to support alternative scientific research to disprove the endochrin theory, they, in fact, are supporting no scientific research. In this case, they oppose any advancement of knowedge because scientific discovery stands in the way of their agenda.

This entire discussion was prompted by reader Dave checking out a PETA website. I don't know if he found his way there searching for lesbian sheep porn or not.

Openly gay tennis icon Martina Navratilova is condemning hormone-altering experiments on “gay sheep” at Oregon State University (OSU) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) that seek to manipulate sheep’s sexual preferences and make them heterosexual. The tests are funded by taxpayers through the year 2008.

In letters faxed to the presidents of both universities, Navratilova writes, “How can it be that, in the year 2006, a major university would host such homophobic and cruel experiments? ...I respectfully ask that you pull the plug on this appalling and misguided research. Surely you can find a way to redirect the millions of public tax dollars that are being wasted on these experiments to a more fruitful venture—perhaps by funding a gay and lesbian community center to foster dialogue and acceptance for people of all sexual preferences?”

OHSU experimenter Charles Roselli is drugging pregnant sheep to prevent the actions of hormones in their fetuses’ brains and cutting open the brains of rams he calls “male-oriented” (homosexual) in an attempt to find the hormonal mechanisms behind homosexual tendencies so that they can subsequently be changed. Roselli’s cohort, Frederick Stormshak of OSU, has surgically installed an estrogen device in rams’ bodies in an effort to alter “gay sheep’s” sexual preferences and make them heterosexual. According to the grant applications, the experimenters plan to extrapolate the test results to humans—with the insidious implication that homosexuality in people can be “cured.”

Navratilova—who has won nine Wimbledon Women’s Singles championships and, with a record 167 titles in singles and 174 in doubles, holds more overall tennis titles than any other player in history—adds, “For the sake of the animals who will die unnecessarily in these experiments and for the many gays and lesbians who stand to be deeply offended by the social implications of these tests, I ask that you please end these studies at once.”
