Kerry:
George joined the RAN at age 15 as a Naval Rating in 1965. He served 6 years, leaving in 1971. So George and your husband were in the RAN at the same time. Small world.

George traveled extensively during his time in the RAN, including service in Vietnam. His  ship came under fire whilst patrolling the Vietnam coast. He's very proud of his medals.

Maybe it's more open now, but George tells me the gay thing was very understated in the RAN in his day.

Kerry, I don't buy this either, and I don't think most gay/homo's do. It seems to me only straight people try to categorize in this fashion. Had this discussion with one of my cousin's wife a few weeks ago (while at Elk camp during the first week of archery season). She had a little too much booze in her, and while her hubby was tucked in with the chillins', she started to go on about how she thought her husband was bi. I politely cut her off and moved on. I didn't think her husband would appreciate her going on about something so intimate--no, I know for a fact he would have been worse then mortified, and I'm not sure why she felt compelled to share. Perhaps she thought I would partake in girl chatter/talk with her, which I wouldn't cause' I don't.

Hi for the record I have two elder brothers by 10 and 8 years respectively both straight. I have a second cousin who is gay and he has an elder brother who is straight.

Interesting angle of study. I have heard other theories that suggest in utero hormones might have an affect on a fetus. But this is the first study I've heard of that links "anti-male" anti-bodies to homosexuality. But that certainly doesn't explain lesbians.

FWIW, I have 2 younger brothers: one gay, one straight. I also have a male cousin on my mom's side who is gay.
