When the team studied the bras of the gay sheep, they variably disvered they have a substantially smaller hypothalam than their straight male siblgs. This is the first hard scientific evince of blogil differenc between gay and straight mammals - and they found the bra differenc are already place the third trimter of pregnancy.

The latt US poll found that 79 per cent of people who thk human begs are born gay support full gay equaly, while only 22 percent who believe homosexualy is a choice agree.

STUDYG GAY SHEEP FOR A UTERO HOMOSEXUALY CURE
You might fd yourself the odd posn of pleadg for acceptance of homosexualy as a natural ndn while at the same time nouncg Catholic bishops who plead for acceptance of fertily as a natural ndn. But if doctors learn to spot emergg gay bras and are unable to alter them, parents who are termed not to raise gay children will do what’s already done to female fet much of the world: abort them.
An article om the Daily Telegraph reports that scientists have attempted to change the sexual orientatn of sheep to help farmers, who have acced gay sheep of g them fancial loss. The scientists gave the sheep jectns, adjtg the hormone levels their bras and, amazgly, some prevly gay rams beme attracted to female sheep. Their fear is that this succs uld be a gateway to experiments volvg human sexualy and may one day be ed to “breed out” homosexuals entirely.
But seems as though the scientists have fotten an important fact: If those sheep would jt accept J Christ as their personal savr, they uld easily overe their homosexualy. Maybe someday we n apply this rearch on able-bodied men and women the gay muny who would have been totally qualified to jo the ary had not been for their sexual preferenc. If we breed out homosexualy, people everywhere will lose the very rights that have fed what means to be an Amerin: the rights of ignorance and nial.

To me, the whole thg seems to, at the very least, bolster the thought that homosexualy is blogil and not "acquired" or "by choice". I even bought a sheep stume so I uld live a day as a gay sheep, go to Mardi Gras and experience the prejudic they face on a daily basis, first hand. If anyone saw the play Twilight of the Golds by Jonathon Tols, they saw a play about what would happen if parents had an utero tt to terme if a child were gay.

If, as the article suggts, one uld possibly be “cured” of homosexualy wh a hormone shot utero, would *you* have wanted your parents to give *you* that shot?

So on a personal level if your parents had this tt available to them and knew *you* were gog to be gog to grow up gay, lbian, bisexual, transgenr, or tersexed, would *LGBTI you* even be here?
