I had to turn my computer moniter all the way around to read the other end of that long link, there, Steve...

Never heard the term "fruit-picker" before, either...altho I once went out with one, briefly, by mistake...

It was "ok", but imperferct. It seemed to concentrate on the more sensational topics inthe main, and was thius 50% for titillation of the world's prurient interest in other people's sex lives.

The most interesting programme was the one where they performed a full investigation, using as much data as was available, into the causes, or apparent causes of homosexuality. I reported that WAY back on the board with a study of homosexual rams (male sheep!), both in brain structure (after death) and heredity.

The brain of a gay ram was noticably and repeatably different from a str8 ram, and had similarities in the area known to be triggered by sexual response with a ewe.

The hypothesis was stated as "The gay ram becomes aroused, but has a ewe's attraction response. Thus he is aroused as a male, but attracted to males as if he were female. A pseudo mating then takes place" (I am paraphrasing). They were clear that the brain is otherwise normal, but that different portions developed "oddly" to create this effect. They did not postulate a cause

The bred from the gay rams and found (so far) no evidence of heredity for this brain structure.

The presenter took this evidence to a vociferous Conservative Party official who is "Against Homosexuality" Baroness Young. She refused to see the evidence, and showed herself to be bigotted and dogmatic in her response to the programme.
