IS WHIS GAY? EXPLORG HIS SEXUALY

Well, is Whis gay? Some fans of the h anime and manga seri “Dragon Ball” ll Whis “super gay”. Even though Whis’ personaly tras n be very flamboyant and he often displays effemate mannerisms, which ma a lot of fans portray him as a gay man, he hadn’t really shown any signs of sexual attractn to anyone the seri.

He may look and sound like a gay stereotype, but Whis’ character is more fed by his role as an observer and gui rather than by romantic entanglements. Goku and Vegeta still don't have their power levels laid out, and a growg number of fans have qutned why Dragon Ball has yet to pict any promently gay characters. Scientists may have fally solved the puzzle of what mak a person gay, and how is passed om parents to their children.

‘DRAGON BALL SUPER’ CAST ADDRS WHETHER BEES & WHIS ARE GAY

A group of scientists suggted Tuday that homosexuals get that tra om their oppose-sex parents: A lbian will almost always get the tra om her father, while a gay man will get the tra om his heredary lk of homosexualy has long been tablished, but scientists knew was not a strictly geic lk, bee there are many pairs of intil tws who have differg sexuali. Scientists om the Natnal Instute for Mathematil and Blogil Synthis say homosexualy seems to have an epigeic, not a geic thought to have some sort of heredary lk, a group of scientists suggted Tuday that homosexualy is lked to epi-marks — extra layers of rmatn that ntrol how certa gen are exprsed.

In homosexuals, the epi-marks aren't erased — they're passed om father-to-dghter or mother-to-son, explas William Rice, an evolutnary blogist at the Universy of California Santa Barbara and lead thor of the study.

SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FALLY UNLOCKED PUZZLE OF WHY PEOPLE ARE GAY

"There is pellg evince that epi-marks ntribute to both the siary and dissiary of fay members, and n therefore feasibly ntribute to the observed faial herance of homosexualy and s low nrdance between [intil] tws, " Rice and his team created a mathematil mol that explas why homosexualy is passed through epi-marks, not geics. Evolutnarily speakg, if homosexualy was solely a geic tra, scientists would expect the tra to eventually disappear bee homosexuals wouldn't be expected to reproduce. But bee the epi-marks provi an evolutnary advantage for the parents of homosexuals: They protect fathers of homosexuals om unrexposure to ttosterone and mothers of homosexuals om overexposure to ttosterone while they are gtatn.

"The epi-marks protect fathers and mothers om excs or unrexposure to ttosterone — when they rry over to oppose-sex offsprg, n e the masculizatn of femal or the femizatn of mal, " Rice says, which n lead to a child beg gay. Rice not that the markers are "highly variable" and that only strong epi-marks will rult a homosexual scientists have long spected some sort of geic lk, Rice says studi attemptg to expla why people are gay have been few and far between.

Well there are many exampl of homosexualy nature, 's very mon. " Homosexual behavr has been observed black swans, pengus, sheep, and other animals, he 's mol still needs to be tted on real-life parent-offsprg pairs, but he says this epigeic lk mak more sense than any other explanatn, and that his team has mapped out a way for other scientists to tt their work.

This sexual world clud gay men too, and gay as an adjective the sexual meang go back at least to the late 1930s. After World War II, as social attus toward sexualy began to change, gay was applied openly by gay men to themselv, first as an adjective and later as a noun.

Today, the noun often signat only gay men and is ually ed as a llective plural: gays and lbians. How do gays feel about this? It has been argued that gay the sense “awkward, stupid, or bad” is pennt of the sexual sense, and therefore not homophobic.

This argument is weakened by the fact that the sexual meang has long been the domant one, and th permeat all ag of gay. See also homosexual.
