This is a tough one. A professor in New Zealand has angered many in the gay community for suggesting sperm recipients be told there might be a little ‘gay’ in that turkey baster. On one hand, it seems the man is claiming a genetic link to homosexuality (which most scientists agree with but has not yet been proven.) On the other hand, what are the reasons behind telling prospective parents they might soon have a friend of Dorothy?
Sin told The Dominion Post that it is "not daydreaming" to suggest that sexual orientation could be inherited. Animal models have clearly shown the existence of a gene that controls sexual behavior, he said. Though there is nothing so conclusive in human studies, there is strong evidence—particularly from studies on twins—of a significant genetic component. Though he has nothing against homosexuality, Sin said, he feels people have the right to know the trait could be passed on.
A woman visiting a sperm bank is told many things about the donor (eye color, height, ethnicity, etc.) and maybe sexuality is just another characteristic. That being said, why do we have a sneaking suspicion the bitches touting the proposed rule have an agenda to push?
Professor says sperm recipients should be warned of "gay gene" [Advocate]
• We spotted an Abercrombie-clad Jake Gyllenhaal at M Cafe in Hollywood yesterday lunching with a girl we think we can safely assume was only an assistant. Here's further proof that slender Jake really enjoys regular macrobiotioc meals.
• Robbie Williams takes the Tom Crusie course of action when accused of being a homo. Sue 'em. And win.
• AMERICAblog has unearthed some interesting info about the identities of two Ford officials who met with AFA last week to discuss pulling ads from gay publications. Ford insists its decision was purely a "business" decision. Well we're insisting our boycott is a "business" decision as well.
• France only allows artificial insemination for straights, so dykes in that country are running for the Belgian border in order to get shot up with man juice.
• Boston College has requested a school-sponsored dance lose its gay theme. We don't see why. The only students that show up to those things are fags and fag hags anyway.
• New kidney recipient Steven Cojocaru apparently speaks for his mom: "I think for a mother to sit back and watch her child in pain is the worst kind of nightmare imaginable." Um, isn't that something that should be coming out of her mouth?
• For those boyfriend-less queens who also enjoy cuddling with dismembered body parts we present to you the item at the top of your gift list: the plush boyfriend arm pillow. Yeah, creepy as all shit.
• A California woman claims she was refused to be artificially inseminated by her doctors because she's a lesbian. She's suing them and the case might end up in the U.S. Supreme Court. All of this would have been easily avoided if she'd only gone to the same place as Tom and Katie.
• Warning: clicking on this link will expose you to paparazzi pics of Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend. Don't say we didn't warn you.
• Spokane's mayor has fessed up to surfing gay sites on a city-owned computer. Pretty soon, we could all get a peak as to what kind of kinky stuff he's into.
• Andy has some hot shots of Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett rolling around on the ground together. This should appease us until Brokeback Mountain's rear entry scene.
