Atrazine Linked to Gay Lifestyle

The National Academy of Sciences recently reported that Atrazine, a common pesticide, chemically castrates male frogs and in some instances changes them into completely functional females. The scientists who conducted the tests reported that 90 percent of the exposed male frogs were demasculinized, suffering from decreased testosterone, low fertility, and an inability to outcompete non-exposed males inbreeding. http://news.mongabay.com/2010/0301-hance_atrazine.html Interestingly, the other 10 percent of the exposed male frogs showed markedly increased heterosexual activity, frequently cheating on their mates.

Gay Frogs

Scientists at the University of Phoenix reported a parallel result in humans. Atrazine is universally used as the pesticide of choice at most golf courses, and as a result, golfers, especially professional golfers, are frequently exposed to large doses of the chemical. Observing the players at several of both public and private courses in the Phoenix, Arizona, area over a period of several years, the scientists found that many of the players exhibited increasingly effeminate traits, including dressing in clothing of colors usually worn by female players. Many have been seen openly hugging on the courses. A congressional hearing may be in the works. Congressman Barney Frank (DEM-Mass.) held a press conference at his Washington office today. Citing both the National Academy of Science and the University of Phoenix reports, Frank said that he would ask Speaker Pelosi to appoint a committee to study the problem, noting that many lawmakers and most lobbyists are golfers. “Although I personally never venture out on a golf course and the chemical would have no effect on me, I am concerned about the frogs, although most of the frogs I know are in Quebec.” Frank also mentioned that Senator Larry Craig had voiced concern about the issue before his retirement from the Senate. Frank also allowed that Tiger Woods “maybe a ten percenter.”
