Glad you enjoyed the thread. 😎

Stupid gay sheep links everywhere and most of them are old. There are great articles out there if I could find them. HOWEVER here is one mention of curing gay sheep.

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.

I don’t how accurate that particular story is but I don’t think it is super far off. I have read in various places that their research has accomplished three major firsts.

A) They created a blood test for pregnant sheep that can predict the sexuality of offspring.

B) They have strong evidence that a small nucleus in the hypothalamus is responsible for homo/hetero orientation. Remember the barrage of crap LeVay took for suggesting that?

C) They have “cured” fully developed gay sheep with brain surgery.

Somebody might be able to help us out with a better link. I will look again as well.

Very funny comments 🙂

I think I may need a reference on that one. I thought the exact opposite was the case.

Anyway the upshot might be that women end up prefering formally gay men to straight truck driver types by a wide margin. Straight men will rue the day they allowed this research to progress.

Hmmm. Ex-Gays as the man of choice.

Lets say that homosexual men really are more sensitive, intelligent and better looking. Lets also say that 20 or 30 years from now scientists use stem cells or some other exotic technology to increase the size of the hypothalamus thus making gay men straight. It could happen, Roselli says he can cure gay sheep right now. Anyway the upshot might be that women end up prefering formally gay men to straight truck driver types by a wide margin. Straight men will rue the day they allowed this research to progress. 😎

I have to agree with you. I have noticed over my lifetime that homosexuals seem to have higher average intelligence. Another peculiarity seems to be appearance. When I was a kid (1980s) the stereotype was that guys who were good looking were gay. I found it interesting that researchers somewhere tested this hypothesis and determined that gay men really do have more attractive facial features than straight men. I think it will all come back to the way hormones are sent or received prenatally.
