Scientists with nothing better to do swapped out a single gene in some fruit flies to see what would happen when the altered flies were released among their kind. The gene in question is one of two distinct “master sexual genes” that define how fruit flies court other fruit flies.

And you know this wouldn’t be news if nothing happened, so what happened was that female flies imbued with the male gene started acting like male flies, persuing other females and acting like males by farting and scratching their non-existent balls and thinking that watching basketball playoffs in their underwear is considered charming, and vice versa.

Which just proves that for gay flies, it’s not a choice, it’s genetic. So there! So much for faggy flies.
