Today I have mostly been reading ...

... about gay sheep. Which is interesting - and the article title "BrokeBack Mutton" was inspired! :D

Apparently 8 to 10% of rams are attracted to other males for the old dance of lurvve and "studies have failed to identify any compelling social factors that can predict or explain the variations in sexual partner preferences of rams". So it appears that being a gay sheep is biologically determined.

BadScience has this demolition of scare stories on the subject.
