Not having knowledge of soy proteins and estrogen, I took a moment to Google the words and see what else might be out there. Some of you who think WND is 'full of it' should have probably done the same.
Here's the first article as listed by Google...
http://www.mothering.com/articles/growing_child/food/soy_story.html (broken link)
It took a minute to read, but it was VERY informative. I'll see if I can find anything to REFUTE it...
Many otherwise healthy foods can be problematic is large quantities. Commons sense dictates that. However chemical changes and "turning gay" are two different things. The latter being being a fallacy itself.
The WND "reporter" should have done his homework first, but then again why start now.
However the WND (and similar clones, News max etc.) are very entertaining, just like checkout counter tabloids.
I've seen that story before. My girlfriends brother is a police officer and drinks soy milk for health reasons, and I printed it out and razzed him but good.
Of course, it's nonsense I wouldn't trouble to refute.
WND is the conservative version of Online Journal (Except OJ focuses mostly on airing their obsessive hate of Bush). Both of them use some decent facts as a base, then allow writers/bloggers/etc to say whatever they want to as an article, most of the time to make whatever point they want to make, whether it be all, partially, or barely based on facts.

William G. Helferich, a UI professor of food science and human nutrition, has directed three studies that show estrogen found in soy stimulats human breast-cancer cells in mice.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The increasingly consumed isoflavone genistein – a plant estrogen linked to the health benefits of soy – has been shown in a series of University of Illinois studies to stimulate the growth of estrogen-dependent human breast-cancer cells implanted into laboratory mice.
The findings of three studies, funded by the National Institutes of Health, are detailed in the Journal of Nutrition (November), Carcinogenesis (October) and Cancer Research (July).
