World Orthodox rabbi declares ban on soy as it 'makes students gay' -news.com.au

[abujagirl]

AN ultra-orthodox Jewish sect has banned its children from eating soy out of fears it will "make them gay". So just what must you skip to avoid becoming part of the rainbow set?

In the Hebrew religious news website BaOlam Shel Haredim the Israel-based Gur Hasidic sect rabbi Abraham Benjamin Silberberg yesterday declared eating soy-based products would lead to "gay sexual activity" and that even a once-a-week dose would "cause unwanted arousal".

That's apparently because it contains female hormone estrogen (in minute quantities).

He also expressed concerns soy-based products would cause girls to sexually mature faster.

As a result of these fears, the sect has now banned the consumption of all soy and soy-based products.

Wonderful. Eat soy and you could turn gay. Hence the conclusion is that estrogen makes one gay?
I thought being homosexual has nothing to do with what one eats, I thought it comes naturally. The Rabbi has pointed out clearly that I thought wrong.

@Lequte ...
The rabbi has a point, although a little bit skewered.

@Jules, the studies are still in their developmental stages, but it has been found in a considerable number of test gay males that they have a certain form of oestrogen present that isn't present in other, non-homosexual males.

Now, the reason why I said this is skewered is, there is, as yet - or that I know of - no sign that the oestrogen was introduced into their diet. I would rather be inclined towards believing that they were probably born with the oestrogen locked in, through genetic combination. If this is the case, it supports the belief largely proposed that homosexuals are not gay by choice, but by genetic makeup.

Like I said, studies are still developmental, and there are no absolutes. I don't agree with the rabbi, by the way. I just believe he has a point about the whole oestrogen thing.

Did I answer your question?
