This makes me angry!
Scientists investigating a genetic basis for homosexuality will be recruiting more pairs of gay brothers in Chicago this weekend.
The Molecular Genetic Study of Sexual Orientation is the most extensive study of its kind.
It was embarked upon by a team of researchers from Chicago universities four years ago.
Researchers hope that by gathering DNA samples from 1,000 sets of gay brothers they will be able to find genetic linkages smaller studies failed to detect.
The results of the study could lead to massive controversy, both by providing ammunition in the raging cultural war over homosexuality and by raising fears about ethically questionable applications like genetic profiling and prenatal testing.
However, the scientists involved argue that the research is essential to our biological understanding of sexual behaviour.
I bet they do. Can you imagine anyone pouring millions of pounds into scientific studies to find the cause of heterosexuality? Why not get some heterosexual brothers and see if we can discover genetic linkages that explain their heterosexuality?
We'll know we're getting near equality when people finally stop asking this sinister question.
