Born gay?

Tim Gill has put up a web site, borndifferent.org, that ponders the question about how gay people come about.

The site includes a really interesting 60 Minutes segment which reaffirms my long-standing theory: that the primary driver of homosexuality is exposure to hormones during fetal development.

Hilariously, Lesley Stahl scores 100% with her "gaydar," accurately indentifying people in video tapes as gay or straight.

As Colorado approaches the silly season, with November ballot initiatives on gay marriage and domestic partnerships, it is great to see Tim trying to elevate the discussion into something from which people can learn and make informed decisions.
