Any of you old enough to remember Wisconsin Senator Proxmire's Golden Fleece awards? He would single out research that sounded funny or had a 'silly' sounding title as being wasteful without looking at what it was really about. A lot of good research and researchers were ruined by his unintelligent innuendo and tabloid-level attacks done for self promotion under the guise of saving tax money. Oddly, he would occasionally select something that truly was wasteful or corrupt, but it wasn't often enough. What happened to this scientist is similar. Ah, what an enlightened culture we live in.

Of Gay Sheep, Modern Science and the Perils of Bad Publicity

Dr. Roselli, a researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, has searched for the past five years for physiological factors that might explain why about 8 percent of rams seek sex exclusively with other rams instead of ewes. The goal, he says, is to understand the fundamental mechanisms of sexual orientation in sheep. Other researchers might some day build on his findings to seek ways to determine which rams are likeliest to breed, he said.

But since last fall, when People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals started a campaign against the research, it has drawn a torrent of outrage from animal rights activists, gay advocates and ordinary citizens around the world — all of it based, Dr. Roselli and colleagues say, on a bizarre misinterpretation of what the work is about.

The story of the gay sheep became a textbook example of the distortion and vituperation that can result when science meets the global news cycle.
