i'm bi and i'm PROUD! even though i'm not ready to come clean with my dad but that's beside the point. what they're doing is sick and wrong. it makes me want to march right up to oregon and give them a peice of my mind.
does it really matter if a person or sheep is a homosexual? why don't they spend more time trying to find a cure for AIDS, cancer, MS, and other dieases. it would be a hell of a lot better if they worried more about a diease that could take someone's life instead of trying to control someone's sexaully preferences.
it really pisses me off that they think they can control something that is none of their business, escepically by using animals.

I emailed them, and I got a response. Response:
Dear friend,
I recently became aware of PETA's concerns about this research. Thank
you for this chance to respond.
Let me start by saying the information you have received from PETA is
incorrect. We have contacted PETA to let them know. I expect that their
Web site will be corrected shortly. We also expect they will be
contacting you with an email to correct their error.
The study that PETA urged you to write me about is indeed based in
sheep. However, it is not being done to "cure homosexuality." Homosexuality
is not a disease. I join you and our researchers in being personally
offended by anyone who suggests that it is.
In fact, over the years, our researchers have been contacted by several
gay and lesbian groups who appreciate our scientific results which
support their beliefs that homosexuality is genetic and biological, not a
choice.
As for the animals in this study we care deeply about them and they are
treated ethically. All our research is conducted under the strict rules
of the Animal Welfare Act and National Institutes of Health guidelines.
It was funded by the federal government only after being reviewed by
and approved top scientists in the field. In addition, panels of experts
at both universities, which include members of the public and trained
veterinarians, approved the research before it was allowed to commence
and OHSU animal care is overseen by the US Department of Agriculture and
AAALAC.
Thank you for the chance to respond. I also ask that you please join us
in contacting PETA at Info@peta.org and ask that they correct their
information about this research.
Thank you,
Joe Robertson, M.D., OHSU
