Gay Gene in Fruit Flies?

[An Exercise in the Fundamentals of Orthodoxy] 13 Dec 2007--According to gay.com, yes!!! Their headline is “Study finds gay gene in fruit flies” but unfortunately that’s not what the study actually found. gay.com says:

Researchers in Chicago have discovered a gene that identifies homosexuality in fruit flies, which can be turned on and off with drugs. David Featherstone, a biologist at the University of Illinois, said that while humans have a similar gene, it has yet to be determined whether that gene has any effect on same-sex attractions in humans.

Hmmmm… The Chicago Sun-Times has a much better telling of what the researchers actually found....
