Martina Navratilova angered by gay sheep experiments
Openly gay tennis star Martina Navratilova is outraged that Oregon State University (OSU) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have been spending millions of tax dollars on hormone-altering experiments on "gay sheep" and are seeking to alter the sheep's sexual preferences to make them heterosexual.
Charles Roselli of the OHSU drugs sheep in order to change sex hormones in their brains, and he cuts open the brains of rams he calls "male-oriented" (homosexual) trying to find the hormonal mechanisms that cause homosexual tendencies.
Charles Roselli's fellow animal experimenter, OSU's Frederick Stormshak, has surgically installed an oestrogen device in the bodies of "gay sheep" in an attempt to make them heterosexual.
In letters faxed to the presidents of both universities, Martina Navratilova writes:
"How can it be that, in the year 2006, a major university would host such homophobic and cruel experiments? ... For the sake of the animals who will die unnecessarily in these experiments and for the many gays and lesbians who stand to be deeply offended by the social implications of these tests, I ask that you please end these studies at once."
