Typical of these evil, woke scientists to try to make good upstanding citizens gay with their evil sciencing. Good thing President Trump is putting an end to all this.

As someone that used to be homophobic in highschool, I can confirm this is the case. My dad is super homophobic yet all of his kids, including myself, are at least bisexual.

(Side note: it's hilarious they shorthanded the enzymes to FucM)

today i learned. and it alignes so well with how in medieval times, only firstborns were expected to inherit the family farm and have children themselves. At least that's how it was in many areas.

Maybe this explains that odd "prayer" group hug of Republicans in the Capitol that was posted these days ;-)
