Scientists Can Now Detect A "Gay Gene"?

Some scientists claim they can potentially identify fetuses hardwired for homosexuality, and the gap between recognition and intervention is quickly narrowing.

Lately some of the more notable research on the subject has focused on animals—namely, sheep. As it turns out, one in 10 rams prefers the company of other rams, a situation of considerable concern to the livestock industry.

Last December, following an intensive three-year study, researchers at two Oregon universities announced they had successfully used a hormonal patch to alter the brains of gay rams to make them mate with ewes—effectively turning them straight.

(The experiment didn't go over well with some gay rights advocates, notably tennis player Martina Navratilova, who called the study "homophobic and cruel" and said it deprived the sheep of their "right" to be gay.)

In an article on the study in London's Sunday Times, experts predicted that within a decade, similar patches would allow parents to change fetuses' sexual orientation.

Now this is a tease. Somebody try this shit out on Clay Aiken, Ryan Seacrest, Sangina, P. Diddy and Tom Cruise! After the results are in, then we can trust this test.
