Religion vs. Science pt. 145,891,553,297
Amazing what happens when I’m not paying attention.
Bruce over at GayPatriot points to this article about the possibility of curing gay sheep. What an interesting concept we have here: identify a trait we don’t like about someone, and try to find a way to cure it in utero.
Of course, the research into this presupposes that homosexuality is nature not “nurture”. And, if homosexuality is found to be genetic in nature, and can’t be cured in utero, religious nuts will finally have a reason to support abortion.

PETA’s big lie:
Just so you know. The false suggestion that the research is aimed at curing homosexuality was made by PETA. Yes, the animal rights group.
Of course PETA has their own motives for receiving press on this story. In fact, PETA heavily edited quotes by the researchers and even fabricated information to generate press coverage. Many weeks ago, a writer in the states looked into PETA false claims. Here’s what he found:

PS – In regards to the Sunday Times article which has now become the source of wild conspiracy theories, I am pleased that a writer has thoroughly investigated the article. As he reports, the Sunday Times article is filled with major errors and false claims. His analysis also raises important questions about the timing of the article which comes almost five years after the research was actually conducted.
Here’s a link to that analysis that anyone who is interested in this topic should read:
