Gay or Straight?


Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! I was in my late night romp on the net when I seen this story being covered by 60 Minutes. The report that 60 Minutes is covering is on a unanswered question that has boggled the minds of many for years; and many decades now on the phenomena about wither we are born gay or straight! The study that is being conducted assumes how our sexual preference may be brought on by genetic, or even environmental surroundings determining the factor of the sexual orientation! They study shows that when the mother is pregnant with her child the anti bodies of her immune system may see the fetus as an treat to her body, making it self fight against the fetus, as a virus or disease within the mother body. A test done by a professor at Northwestern University, had several men and women sit in front of a camera and speak. The purpose of the experimentation was to see if curtain stereotypes implied to the mannerisms of the subjects, characterized a person as gay or straight. This test blow me out the water for real! I feel that people are who they are not matter what up bringing or background they come from! One test that took place in a lab involved lab rats being injected with male and female hormones to change the sexual drive of these animals to see how this would be directly related to human behavior on a psychological level! What happens when a male an a female rat are placed together in the same cage, the male rat will always mount on top of the female rat, then what happens is a gesture called lordoses an abnormal forward curvature of the spine in the lumbar region. What happens in the lab experiment is the doctor changes the hormones in the rats causing the female rat to act in a more male like manner, as well as the male rat being in injected with female hormones, which in turn causes the male rat to act in a more feminine manner! This is all to much for me to grasp!

If ya'll want to look at the interviews here is the lick to the 60 Minutes yahoo web site 60 Minutes!
