HAVANA TIMES, April 30 – Last Thursday I received news that is probably not new to anybody at this point, except perhaps a large part of the Cuban population, because this news has not been covered in the official press here.

While our media did in fact gave wide coverage to the Cochabamba Summit in Bolivia, I believe they steered clear of mentioning a detail in the statement by that country's president, Evo Morales, concerning transgenic chickens and male homosexuality in his speech on Wednesday, April 21.

I found out about this because it was the first thing a friend told me on Thursday after having read it on the Internet.  "Evo Morales said transgenic chickens cause homosexuality in men because they contain lots of female hormones," she exclaimed.

always have to wonder at something that has been translated. I wonder if what the one comment said was correct.

There was a report years ago in the UK about guys working in a pharmaceutical factory making contraceptive pills developing breasts because of poor ventilation. I tried to get a job there with no luck :laugh:

The translation is also off 'transgenic' refers to animals in which extra genes have been inserted or have been deleted. It has nothing to do with ->-bleeped-<-.

He said a bit more that got him into strife with Spain's main GLBTI group, and had to apologise for it. He also said it was causing Europe's men to go bald, unlike the masculine Bolivians! :laugh:

Now that sounds like pure ignorance. It fits the description of him better too.

lol that is pure ignorance- testosterone (DHT) causes or at least exacerbates baldness, estrogen actually stops it.
