[info]vahnm posts an article to [info]yaoi about how researchers think they may have found the clue to homosexuality (the article has since been disproved by by a blogger as incredibly biased and the work of none other than PETA). It goes over pretty well, though, [info]yaoi is largely supportive of gay rights, even if it's off topic.

Well, except for [info]ashleyvsdestiny, that is (yes, that Ashley). People try to bring the logic, but s/h/it is persistant with the crazy.

On a side note, it's funny, no one would complain of someone was looking at a cure for heterosexuality.

As for research... No, not really. I mean there are millions of dollars being spent on everythin from how to make the better tasting donut and all the way to making the longer lasting breast implant. In terms of frivolousness, you'll find a lot worse than trying to cure homosexuality at the bottom of the scientific research barrel.

And my point that gay rights doesn't matter in yaoi still stands. There's a good reason we'll never see a yaoi manga where the characters are marching in a gay rights parade. And if I ever do see that, I'll set that manga on fire.

No, it's not considdered immoral to research a method to make black people white.

Small, I know, but we can't have Sep's only example of the funny in OTF_wank not be in OTF_wank at all.

You can also find some fine examples of crazy on [info]ashleyvsdestiny's journal, if you enjoy s/h/it's particular brand of insanity (and he's still making with the trans hate).

1. Scientist did experiment on sheep to study them, since some male sheep mate with female sheep and some male sheep mate with other male sheep, and this is interesting.

2. PETA finds out, and, since this is animal testing, it is BAD.

3. PETA claims that the scientists were trying to find a way to cure homosexuality by studying sheep, hoping that the angry gay rights activists would cause the research to be stopped.

4. The press get a hold of it and completely misunderstand everything.

At least, the way I understood it PETA was hoping that they would assume that the scientists were trying to make people not be gay instead of 'Hey, why do some sheep act like this and others don't?'

'Hey, why do some sheep act like this and others don't?'

That sounds like a hypothesis to me. But that's what I get for expecting scientists to be, you know, scientific.


I can't believe don't remember reading about this, but I wonder if there was a backlash of some sort.

Maybe PETA, like many ignorant people, think scientist=mad scientist trying things Man Was Not Meant to Do.

Oh God, I'm trying to apply logic to these dishonest freaks!

More than likely, PETA was thinking, "Hey, we can get the gays on our side if we make them think this perfectly innocent scientific inquiry is really out to get them!"

In other words, they were thinking with their propaganda machines.

Oh my God. That's what I get for listening to the LiveJournal version. We've got another hoax!
