Scientific theory: Lots of gay men have a wonky left eye

I think there is a connection between chicken pox at an early age getting to the brain via the optic nerve on that side, which causes left eye wonkiness and homosexuality.

The optic nerve goes to the optic chiasm is located at the base of the brain, below the hypothalamus, and above the pituitary gland, in the middle cranial fossa. It's about 10 mm above the pituitary gland and 1 cm above the pituitary fossa. This attack also hits the pituitary gland affecting hormonal output. This might be a cause of homosexuality.

The only way to “cure” homosexuality will be to remove all larged dick men from society. Voila. Zero appealing men = no homosexuality.

Since you seem to be looking for a cure.

I had chicken Pox when I was seven years old. I was already gay and had been for years by then!

Never had chicken pox. Could Chicken Kiev cause it? I did love that as a kid in the 70s.

I had Scarlet Fever (true) and was laid up on the family couch for my 7th grade summer.

The doctor was perplexed because it was so rare.

Fun times.

Alright, listen up, darling! So, you're telling me there's a link between a wonky left eye and being fabulous? Honey, I've seen some fierce queens with perfect vision! But hey, if chicken pox is the new path to the runway, sign me up! Just make sure to serve that theory with a side of scientific evidence, hun, 'cause we're not here for no half-baked hypotheses, okay? Let's keep it real and leave the eye-wonkiness to the fashion runways, not the scientific ones!

R9 I've actually had Scarlet Fever three times! The first as a toddler, the second in the third grade, and the third time in my early 20's. Doctors missed it each time because like you said, it's so rare, and rapid strep tests are infamous for false negative readings. They kept insisting I must be having some kind of allergic reaction. But it's basically the way my body expresses the strep virus any time it encounters it. I'll have the classic sore throat/fever of strep for less than 24-hours and then it immediately turns into a bright red full-body rash that feels like I've been dipped in itching powder which lasts for weeks and requires massive amounts of antibiotics to relieve, and then all that skin has to shed before it's normal again. It was months before I stopped looking like an elephant's foot.

I remember my mother telling my aunt over the phone and screaming, "Yes! Just like Beth in Little Women! Can you BELIEVE IT?!"

When my mother got me into Lifetime movies, the Hallmark Channel, and let me watch Desperate Housewives at the age of SEVEN from the first episode (Oct 2004), there were obvious signs that I was different.

I remember after Katrina, my parents and my dad's cousin were sitting outside on our deck. They were discussing remodeling homes and, I was asked "Are you interested in helping people interior decorate?" and I responded very flamboyantly (and honestly) how I loved to decorate. They took that as me pretending to be gay when that's just who I fucking was...Since that night, and when I had a Stevie Nicks obsession in 2008 at the age of 12, I realized I was different from the other boys. And then the fantasizing began of course!

I am known to get lost in thought, and when that happens my eyes go off a bit. It resembles lazy eye, but maybe it's the wonky eye OP is mentioning. I was vaccinated against chickenpox, but I still got a mild case after I was exposed to another kid who had it. Hooray for the possibility of getting Shingles in my future!

There is a difference between lazy eye and wonky eye.

Lazy eye is when one eye turns outward. That's a layman's term.

Wonky eye is not actually a thing outside of the DL. Not even a colloquial term.

It's called Esotropia is a type of strabismus (eye misalignment) in which one or both eyes turn inward.

by Anonymousreply 24April 27, 2024 12:43 PM

I was born cross eyed which apparently is not that uncommon. Doctors back in the day tried to correct it at the age of about 3 years old. I don't remember the surgery, but it still left me with one eye always turning inward depending on which one I chose to look at things. That all happened long before I got Chicken Pox.

Like being gay, I was teased about it all through childhood. Wore glasses all through school until I was 16 when I begged my parents for contacts. Thankfully, the relented with stern warnings about taking care of them. "If you lose them, you are going back to glasses".

I thought it was hormones from the mother's womb that causes gayness? Wasn't there a theory that the more male children a woman has the higher the odds one of the younger ones will be gay? I may have read that right here on DL. This study sounds like rubbish.

by Anonymousreply 42April 30, 2024 4:59 AM

It's all rubbish, being Gay is just like blue eyes and brown hair. It's genetic and like everything genetic you're never quite sure when and where it's going to show up

by Anonymousreply 43April 30, 2024 6:18 AM

Actually, there is no gay gene. They have never found one that does that.

It's more epigenetics that might be the cause.

Not that's not the same R45. Intelligence is passed down through a combination of genes, personalty is mostly environmental influences.

by Anonymousreply 47April 30, 2024 10:08 AM

^ So, Yes, because he probably passed that trait by exposing his kids to humor, who would be your parents who probably passed it on to you the same way, through environment 24/7 all the way to adulthood.
