A study from seven years ago resurfaced on Thursday, showing men with older brothers are more likely to be homosexual. The study, conducted by a professor at Brock University in Ontario, found that each older brother a man has raises his chances of homosexuality by a third, bumping up from 3% with the third son to 6% with the fourth. An abstract from the study summarized the research: "Only biological older brothers, and not any other sibling characteristic, including nonbiological older brothers, predicted men's sexual orientation, regardless of the amount of time reared with these siblings." "Are we sure 'reared' is the best word choice here, doc?" said the professor's aid.

Planting Peace, the anti-hate organization that set up shop in a rainbow-colored house across the street from the hateful fucks at Westboro Baptist Church, is set to host a drag show fundraiser. The "Drag Down Bigotry" walk-a-thon will march in drag all around Westboro Baptist, raising money for Planting Peace's pursuit of equality. The event is already expected to be more well-attended than any of Westboro's fundraisers, including the Fred Phelps' Players holiday review, "How the Jews Stole Christmas."
 
According to USA Today, today's teens are having less sex. Teen births reached an all-time low in 2012, for all racial and ethnic groups. The birthrate for teens dropped 6% from 2011 to 2012, from 31 births per 1,000 teens to 29 births. Bill Albert, a spokesperson for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, cited the reason for the drop in teen births being "more contraception and less sex." "That's not by choice," said America's acne-ridden teens in their basements, lit only by the glare of Call of Duty mirroring off their oil-slicked faces.

Jerk of the Week

Pastor and right-wing radio talk show host Kevin Swanson went off about the Gresham, Oregon bakery that rejected a lesbian's couple's wedding cake order that's garnered national media attention. On his show, he ordered Christians attending same-sex weddings to hold up signs for the newlyweds saying that say they're an "abomination" and "should be put to death."

Twerks of the Week

 Ew, What?

A group of naked people covered in body paint stood outside DKNY in New York City on Sunday morning, presumably to commemorate fashion week. Said one Twitter follower Laurie Trott, "That's a lot of penis for a Sunday Morning!" Laurie Trott's friends say she usually prefers her penises in the evening, before supper.
