Something I Dont Understand About You Breeders....

In the last several years, a welter of new research has begun to point strongly to a developing fetus' intrauterine environment as a possible incubator of gayness. This new line of research has been scattered broadly across the peer-reviewed journals that collectively make up science's bazaar of evidence and ideas. But it all started with a little-understood birth-order peculiarity long observed among adult gay men: They tended to be little brothers, frequently in a household full of older boys.
"When I first encountered these early studies, I thought they were so preposterous that I dismissed them out of hand," said Ray Blanchard, a psychologist at the University of Toronto's Department of Psychiatry. "It struck me as the most bizarre example of pseudoscience."

Later, "by accident," Blanchard said, he happened upon evidence in his work that there might be something to this anecdotal oddity. He began scouring dozens of databases containing data on both birth order and sexual orientation. By the late 1990s, he had established one of the strongest associations with homosexuality in the field.
For a male child, Blanchard found, the more older brothers in his family, the higher the probability that he would be gay. A firstborn male has a likelihood of homosexuality of about 2%. But for a boy with four older brothers, those odds jump to 6%, Blanchard found. In all, he estimated, one in seven gay men owed his sexual orientation to this "fraternal birth order" effect.

When you go out and you are dressing up to impress, are you trying to impress people of both genders? Or do you really try to look good for the ladies?

If you were going to the movies and you had a choice of a romatic comedy featuring a male/female couple or a male/male couple, which would you choose?

Ever have a night out with "the guys" so you can talk about the women in your lives? How would that differ if some of "the guys" there were talking about the men in thier lives?

Some people say that two men holding hands in public or one giving the other a peck on the cheek is "flaunting" their sexuality. Ever do that with your heterosexual partner? Are you then flauting your sexuality?

If you got an invitation to a gay or lesbian commitment ceremony would you think it was a gay couple pushing their lifestyle on you? Would you think you were pushing your lifestyle on a family friend or relative when you send invitations to a wedding or engagement party?

Again, I mean no offense, just wanted to give people something to think about.
