A mayor in Peru made some interesting claims recently about
the quality of the water in his town. Huarmey Mayor Jose Benitez actually
believes that the number of gay men in his town is directly connected to the
water. He says that there is something
toxic in the water that is causing men to turn gay.
The mayor, noting high levels of Strontium in the tap water,
says that the water comes from Tabalosos, a town where there are allegedly
14,000 gay men.
“Unfortunately
strontium reduces male hormones and suddenly we’ll be as Tabalosos, as other
towns, where the percentages are increasing of homosexuality,” Benitez says. “Young people have low self-esteem by this
stigma."
Dr. Robert Castro Rodriguez, dean of the College of
Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Lima, says that Benitez is wrong. He says that strontium can lead to bone
cancer, anemia and heart problems, but not homosexuality.
Bolivian President Evo Morales once blamed the injection of
female hormones into chickens for the presence of homosexuality. Morales then argued "and because of that,
men who consume them have problems being men.”

The hormone issue might have some merit. It is worth researching in detail, rather making a generalization. There are researchers who specilaize in this research.
Is he drinking the water?????If so, is he gay....????
Such nonsense is to be expected from people who do not study science or the biology of the human body. These insane kind of people are usually living in fantasy and/or a semi-reality where belief in Demons, Angels, Gods, and all sorts of ridiculous other machinations is normal to them. There are at least two biological reasons why men are gay and a host of psychosocial reasons. If these leaders of nations and local areas are thinking and saying very stupid things like this, they should be immediately replaced, because they are showing obvious signs of just how detached from reality they are!
