Acrdg to a bizarre article published on the Spirual Science Rearch Foundatn's webse (which at the time of wrg has sce been taken down), an overwhelmg majory of gay people are, apparently, posssed by some form of ghostly spirs -- 85 percent, to be exact -- and the spirs are the drivg force behd our gayns.

"The ma reason behd the gay orientatn of some men is that they are posssed by female ghosts, and the female ghost them is attracted to other men, " the Spirual Science Rearch Foundatn wrote s sham study, as reported by PkNews.

Acrdg to PkNews, the article also claims that queer people are more prone to "murro" thoughts, paradg around naked wh each other, and g "bad words, " bee the ghouls that posss them make them "more sceptible to beg fluenced by negative energi, which give them thoughts to enurage them to display their homosexualy a shamels and even aggrsive manner. • Gay male hntg.
