Study Finds Gay Gene in Fruit Flies

CHICAGO -- Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a gene that identifies homosexuality in fruit flies.

Biologist David Featherstone says that fruit flies with a certain gene mutation cannot tell the difference between male and female pheromones, causing them to be attracted to both males and females.

The "gay" gene? "Homosexuality"? Well, I guess if Republican congressmen can hang around men's rooms and still be heterosexual, then "gay" flies can do chicks as well.
