ANKARA, Turkey -- Disco music makes mice homosexual and could trigger the same reaction in humans, a study at the Aegean University says.

Researchers at the Izmir-based university 'discovered that high-level noise -- such as that frequently found in discos -- causes homosexuality in mice and deafness among pigs,' the Milliyet newspaper said Thursday.


'The researchers think that there is a caveat in these studies for human beings as well,' Milliyet said.

The paper did not offer any explanation as to how mice were judged resistant to deafness or why pigs kept their sexual identities.
