Homosexuality Aggravated by Big Families with Older Boys 


The Universe throws the Mormons and the Catholics a nasty curve. 

Thank God for science. It often makes us rethink the common sense positions that we take. For example, no one on the planet can have avoided hearing the many loud voices condemning homosexuality as a sinful choice of lifestyle.

Now a researcher in Canada, Anthony Bogaert, of Brock University in Ontario, looked at gay men who had not been raised with their elder brothers, but still found that there was a link between homosexuality and the number of elder male siblings they had. Bogaert earlier helped to discover the link between homosexuality and elder male siblings. The exact reason for this finding is not yet clear, but according to The Independent Online, "The explanation could be the "maternal immunisation" hypothesis, which suggests that mothers may produce antibodies against a male foetus's Y chromosome while in the womb, and that these antibodies have an accumulative effect on subsequent pregnancies, which could affect the sexuality of boys."

Whatever the reason, it appears that citizens who have a distaste for homosexuality and don't want to have it in their family could lower their chances for this occurrence by limiting the number of children they have to just two. After the first male child is born into a family, it appears that the chances of having a homosexual son increases about 3% for every additional male child born into that same family. Avoiding large families might additionally help the world to stabilize population size, which is a major factor in several contemporary environmental problems.

Of course, there are those who will scoff at these results and this reasoning and continue to grow large families. We intend to welcome into the world both the gay and the straight sons that result.
