Blah Blah Blah!
i recall a recent issue (Spring '96?) of FORBE'S MEDIA WATCH -- "Hyping
the Gay Gene" -- which noted that both the samples on which the genetics
of sex orientation claim was based were very small, and that the
researchers were under investigation for scientific fraud.
If so, isn't all this deep speculation rather premature?
Aren't the genetic differences of males and females much much vaster, anyway?
Isn't the mental mastubation over supposed genetic origins of sexual
orientation
rather bizzare by comparison with this far better established genetic
difference?
