::::Largely because that implies there is some sort of chemical reason for "gayness", which I don't think has ever been shown. There are chemical inhibitors, and truth serums supress those in order to get the truth out. But I still agree that this article wasn't parody, or at least, it was about a true subject.

:::::I see it's been undeleted! (That's what I get for going through my watchlist in strict order). Joaquín wrote it, so it definitely wasn't started as parody. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 13:02, 15 November 2008 (EST)

::::::Great to see it undeleted. By the way, I agree that no chemical reason for "gayness" has been shown -- if there is one (which I doubt), a discovery is probably way off. However, thinking ''scientifically'' (gasp!), I don't think the evidence has been ruled out that in some high quantities a theoretical serum could cause everyday, respectable people to have temporary, uncontrollable urges. These just may be hypersexualized urges, but if the people are in a single sex situation (such as an army), these urges could be misdirected to the wrong sex. I'm just rambling, but I ''guess'' I can see where the Pentagon people got the idea from. There are unfortunately some very sinister ways of controlling or influencing the brain, and I'd be happier if such a serum never, ever gets created. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 16:02, 15 November 2008 (EST)
