Truth is Bizarro-er than Fiction

Yesterday's Bizarro comic strip takes an unwarranted and intolerant shot at the Boys Scout.

The one panel comic shows a news commentator reading a news item:

"Scientists announced today irrefutable proof that sexual orientation is genetic. The Boy Scouts announced today the exclusion of kids with good grades in science."

First, there has never ever been a study that has shown sexual orientation is genetic. I encourage anyone that believes otherwise to produce a study that has. Not a media headline or a reporter filed story but an actual study. Not a single study has drawn such a conclusion. In fact, sometimes the studies explicitly state NOT to draw that conclusion. That does not stop those that need the genetic evidence to support their agenda to use those studies as propaganda.

Second, if "irrefutable proof" of a genetic cause for sexual orientation were determined does one actually think the Boy Scouts would bar "kids with good grades in science"? Just because the Boy Scouts organization says homosexuality does not aligned with their leadership values?

Perhaps Bizarro comic author Dan Piraro could use these ideas in the future:

- ridicule the NAACP for refusing to allow KKK members as NAACP leaders.
- ridicule the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) for not allowing their leadership to consist of persons that do not hold HRC values.
- ridicule the HRC for twisting scientific studies for the purposes of their own agenda. For example:

"Scientists announced today irrefutable proof that sexual orientation is NOT genetic. The Human Rights Campaign announced today the intolerance and bigotry of kids with good grades in science."

That would be closer to the truth. In this case, truth is more Bizarro than fiction.
