Study links diet pills, having gay children
http://www.planetout.com/news/article.html?2004/12/06/4


"A new study suggests that women who take amphetamine-based diet pills when pregnant are more likely to have lesbian and gay children."


"Researchers found that mothers of lesbian women were five times more likely to have taken thyroid medications in the early stages of their pregnancies than those of heterosexual women. Additionally, they were nearly eight times more likely to have taken amphetamine-based diet pills.

Conversely, mothers of straight men were 70 percent more likely to have taken anti-nausea drugs than those of gay men."

Preachers will be telling all the womenfolk to toss the diet pills.

3. And the "cause" before there were pharmaceutical drugs?
Wine? Beer?
