Science Told: Hands Off Gay Sheep

Experiments that claim to ‘cure’ homosexual rams spark anger

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.

It raises the prospect that pregnant women could one day be offered a treatment to reduce or eliminate the chance that their offspring will be homosexual. Experts say that, in theory, the “straightening” procedure on humans could be as simple as a hormone supplement for mothers-to-be, worn on the skin like an anti-smoking nicotine patch.

The research, at Oregon State University in the city of Corvallis and at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, has caused an outcry. Martina Navratilova, the lesbian tennis player who won Wimbledon nine times, and scientists and gay rights campaigners in Britain have called for the project to be abandoned.

Navratilova defended the “right” of sheep to be gay.

What? Sheep have a "right" to be gay? There are times when I wish that liberals could see their hypocrisy from our side. I assume this is the first step in assuring that gay humans also have a right to be gay.

A mother has the right to kill her child right up until it is 90% born. At that late point in a pregnancy, partial birth abortion is still the right of the mother, according to liberals. However though the mother has the right to end the life of the child at that point, at no point can the mother do anything that causes the child to be straight. Not even something as simple as taking a hormone treatment. Now THAT must be stopped, according to liberals.

There are times when you just have to shake your head in disgust at the liberals. How can anyone argue that a mother can kill a child through abortion but she may not prefer it be straight? Are liberals actually claiming that a mother should be required to not interfere with a gay fetus but can kill a straight fetus? Does that mean they support legislation that requires the mother to be forced to bear the child if there are signs it is gay? I can see the next court order now:

The constitutional right to abortion does not apply to gay children. Gay children have both a right to be gay and a right to live so they can be gay.

Are the politically correct not able to see how stupid this seems to those who reject their partisan agenda?
