It doesn't prove anything yet. It could be evidence that a part of the brain is resposible for sexuality and sexual identity. A change from the normal in that part of the brain could lead to a change in sexuality. Infact shakran you made the point in your very short one lined response.
Each person has thier own unique characteristics and obviously the brain controls that. So naturally in each person parts of the brain are going to be different sizes depending upon what characteristces they have. Its been determined that artistic and creative people are more dominate on one side of the brain (not sure which) and less dominate on the other. The inverse of this is that people who are better in math and more technical things have the dominance of the other side of the brain. The dominant side is bigger.
Anyway, my thoughts on this whole issue.
I am really sick of the double standards in today's society. 50 cents words are way more harmful than Dr. Laura's but neither of them should be punished for what they say. This is America, they have thier views and opinions. They can state thier opinions whenever they want. I find it hilarious that political groups both conservative and liberal only support free speech when it is convient for them and views them only in a positive light.
So 50 cent and Dr. Laura don't like gays big deal a lot of people in this world don't like gays. As a result they are going to say negative things about them. If I don't like something I'm going to say bad things about it. It is my right to do so. If they are hurting your feelings you don't have to listen/watch. If gay people didn't like Dr. Laura's show they don't have to watch it. It gays didn't like reading what 50 cent said don't read it. (Why would they anyway its in Playboy). Some asshole in the media caught wind of what 50 cent said in Playboy and all of a sudden decided it was news to create a media feeding frenzy on gay rights. I mean its a good idea for ratings there is already a huge debate about gay marriage. Making someone look like a homophobe especially a famous and popular rapper is good television. Obviously someone wanted to see 50 cent go down but honestly no body really cares. As a result it hasn't been in the news anymore. Seriously there are much more important things that could be on the news rather than what someone said in a magazine interview. If it hadn't been in the news I highly doubt that the people 50 cent targetted would have even known what he said.
And to those of you who said that its OK for 50 to say that because he's a dumb rapper and not OK for Dr. Laura because she's a doctor and should know better you people need to get real. Since when has ignorance intelligence (or lack there of) became excuses for saying negative things. 50 knew what he was saying. He knew it would be controversial but he said it anyway. Why did he say it then? Because he was being honest and he wanted to make a good interview. Besides I'm sure he's smart enough to know that some controversy is the best thing for someone's popularity. I don't think 50 cent is dumb, he may act dumb but he surely is not. He has an image to keep up so he will do things that support his image. All rappers do this. They live in huge mansions that are way nicer and classier than anything you've ever seen yet they pretend to be from the ghetto. Its the image of the rapper.
