I am not a scientist, or the son of one, but I don’t think it takes a scientist to know that making the assertion that soy milk causes kids to be gay is … ridiculous not accurate.
As the following gym owner finds out, it is something that definitely should not be quoted/promoted if you haven’t “…put enough thought into it.”
There are plenty of other topics concerning the complex nature of sexuality and sexual identity to talk about but in reality, how important is it an issue to bring up in a gym newsletter?
From Gym apologises over ‘soy makes kids gay’ article:
An Auckland gym franchise owner has apologised for a newsletter to members which included a link to an article entitled “Soy is making kids gay”.
…
The article was part of a weekly series by Rutz, who also wrote on “the little foibles of liberals, homosexuals, Muslims, radical feminists, Nazi retreads, atheists, FDA bureauquacks, lawyers, Marxists, AP reporters, FEMA officials, Democrats, New Agers, politically correct trendoids and most recently, Hindus”.
Attempts to contact Club Physical chief executive Paul Richards were unsuccessful, but GayNZ.com reported he had today apologised for linking to the article, and had only wanted to drum up feedback from members.
“I was on a tight deadline and in the back of my mind I realised it might provoke comment. I’m afraid I didn’t put enough thought into it.”
…
Mr Kingi said he had corresponded with Club Physical chief executive Paul Richards who “made it quite clear that he didn’t really think about it at all”.
…
“The causes of having one sexual orientation or another are still uncertain and so it’s reasonably certain that both genes and the environment play a role.”
Here is the whole article.
