I think this is just as controversial as saying Bottle fed babies all smoke
'cause they haven't had a security period of suckling- this was something I
read as an advantage of BF many years ago!

Subject: Extended nursing makes a baby gay?


Note-I'm catching up on my digests, so if someone has already made
the following observation, I apologize.

The most rediculous thing about this comment, which I have heard
also, is that when people first started becaming more open about
their "gayness" it was among the generation that had the lowest
percentage of breastfeeding?  If extended breastfeeding "causes"
homosexuality, shouldn't it have been just the opposite?  Let's not
get into a discussion of the rightness or wrongness of
homosexuality-that's as off topic as circs.  Just commenting that no
matter how you view it, it makes no sense to try to link it to
breastfeeding!
