Gay rams tell researchers sexuality is biological

Gay rams tell researchers sexuality is biological Oregon State University researchers have discovered that 8 percent of rams are male-oriented and they think it may help explain sexuality in other mammals, including us, basically that it's biological. Were after a basic biological understanding of how the brain works, and the neurons that drive sexual behavior, said Professor Stormshak. The study began in 1995, when researchers at the federal Sheep Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho, noticed that some rams refused to mate with female sheep. Of these animals, some showed no interest in males or females, and a few preferred other rams. Stormshak's key goal is to find a biological test to determine ovine sexual orientation, so breeders can make informed purchases of stud rams.�
