Speaking at an environmental conference on Tuesday, Morales said chicken producers injected fowlwith female hormonesand insisted that "when men eat those chickens they experience deviancesin being men".

　　Morales总统日前在一个环境问题会议上发言称，养鸡的人给鸡注射了太多的雌性激素，于是吃鸡肉的男人受到不良影响。

　　Morales's theories do not appear to have been immediately accepted by the scientific community, to put it mildly, and have been criticised by Spain's National Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals, which sent a letter of protest to the Bolivian embassy in Madrid describing the president's remarks as homophobic.

　　委婉地说，科学家目前暂时不能接受总统的说法。西班牙的同性恋、双性恋、变性人协会还向马德里的玻利维亚大使馆写信抗议，认为他的言论是恐同症的表现。
