Misrepresentation of the lesbian hormone study by the media -duh-

Ok, so the following article is from Today's Family News, I could be completely off base - but it seems like they want to highlight the fact that being gay is learned and that parents can teach there kids to not be gay, preserving the idea of a traditional family. In any case though, that article is still interesting if you ignore their underlying intentions.

According to Dr. Ivanka Savic, who conducted a study on the different responses to sex hormones by lesbian and heterosexual women, the findings of the research have been skewed by the media.
The Swedish neurologist of the Stockholm Brain Institute said an Associated Press report was wrong in asserting that the new study added "weight to the idea that homosexuality has a physical basis and is not learned behavior."
"This is incorrect and not stated in the paper," Savic said in an email. In it, she was responding to a query from Dr. Warren Throckmorton, an associate professor of psychology and fellow for psychology and public policy at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania.
Although researchers did find that the 12 lesbians involved in the study responded differently than other women when exposed to pheromones, they avoided making any conclusions as to why this occurred. And yet the widely reported AP story was cited by many media outlets as still more "evidence�"for a genetic or biological basis for homosexuality.
"[The study] shows sexual orientation may very well have a different basis between men and women," Sandra Witelson, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, told AP.
But as Throckmorton told WorldNetDaily.com, "[Savic] did not want to create the impression that the study proves sexual response is not learned. In fact, [the Swedish research team] seems pretty open to plausible interpretations. However, at present, from this study, nothing definitive can be concluded." A subsequent HealthDay story on the study, according to Throckmorton, "sticks much closer to the actual report."
Exodus International President Randy Thomas is not surprised that this study was misreported.
"What usually happens," he told Family News in Focus, "is that the media spins it into some sort of social-political statement, instead of actually looking at the science that is going on."
The study tested the women’s responses to sniffing chemicals derived from male and female sex hormones. It was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Ohh so here's this groups mission statement:

We are a champion for the family, providing resources and solutions that work. Today, with a ministry that impacts hundreds of thousands, we are uniquely positioned to expand our role as Canada's premier family organization.

Focus on the Family Canada opened its doors in 1983. From that point on, Focus on the Family Canada has continued to grow and develop in order to meet the diverse needs of the Canadian family.

Currently, we are impacting international and national policy initiatives as well as empowering individuals to make a difference in their communities. We are increasing our volunteer base and seminar/event presence in Canada. We are coming alongside churches to provide care and resources to clergy and their families. We are also blessed to talk directly with Canadian callers to pray with them and support them as they journey through all stages of life.

We do these things while maintaining our foundation in supplying parents, spouses, teens, and children with magazines, books, and resources that are relevant and encouraging.

Our vision is rooted in the foundational teachings of Jesus Christ. Our aim is to promote love for God and love for our neighbours. The family, as the heart of Canada, is the first place we look to strengthen relationships to reflect the love of Christ.

I'm not sure who to make fun of here - the media for getting the story wrong or the family news whatever for getting the story straight(ish) even though their intentions were out of whack (therefore making their story a misrepresentation). Soo confused... I hate when religious people try to use science to prove their point. I think I prefer the misrepresentations of the media over that.
