Smell the gaiety

A story today from those crazy Canadians revealing that Response to scent linked to sexual preference. What? Maybe it's that straight guys smell like pizza and gay men like oranges. It would help explain some of the fruitiness in the few gay guys I know.

If only it was that simple. Instead, it's all about chemical reactions in the brain to different hormones. What it does suggest is that you can't really help who you are attracted to. If a kangaroo had the right hormone, you'd be game for a tumble. Note: this statement not backed up by any scientific evidence.

The question I have is whether it will ever matter what scientists prove about homosexuality. Even if it becomes irrefutable that being gay is biologically driven, will those Christian fundamentalist nutters be willing to embrace their gay neighbors? Doubt it. It's probably a scent thing. You have to smell "Christian" enough to attract a fundamentalist. Part incense, part martyr, and part Republican.

Eau de Republican. Coming soon from Chanel. Just you wait.
