Anti-Vaxx Activists Ponder If Vaccines Cause Homosexuality

If you needed more evidence that the anti-vaxx crowd doesn't know what it's talking about—y'know aside from the fact that Jenny McCarthy is their spokesperson—the Einsteins at VacTruth.com have started an online discussion on whether vaccines can make your children gay.

"Do you think vaccinating a child with vaccines, that are made up of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, can affect the outcome of a person's sexuality?" the group posted on its Facebook page. "It is known that vaccines do disrupt hormonal function and can cause fertility and thyroid problems, so this is a legitimate question some people want to learn more about."

Here's the thing—just because someone has an opinion, doesn't make it legitimate.

The group does admit that "homosexuality is found in nature in other species and has occurred in populations long before the advent of vaccines."

Beneath its inquiry is a link to a hodgepodge of quotes from various studies, including a discredited report from two Christian colleges, Regent University and Wheaton College.

The thread is a mixed bag, with some commenters calling shenanigans on the whole page and others "blaming" homosexuality on everything from hormone-altering vaccines to the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam.

"I have done some studying on sugar and its sprayed with a pesticide called Atrazine," declared one poster. "It turns male frogs into female frogs. I have wondered if that could possibly play a part in homosexuality?

"A biologist friend of mine was involved in studies where the changed the question a quality of food in animals to see how many generations it took until they were sterile," revealed another. "The sicker the generations were the more homosexuality showed up. All the studies were destroyed because they were politically incorrect."

Okay, but how does the assassination of JFK fit into all this?
