Thanks. This is kinda interesting:

"There will be concern among people who are lesbian and gay that this discovery will be misused to suggest that (homosexuality) is something that needs to be 'corrected,''' King said.

So, on the one hand, they want it to be genetic because that would help them be accepted. On the other hand, they don't want that genetic link to be discovered out of fear that it would be misused. Although, I don't really understand what misuse they would be afraid of. :shrug:

Well, it sounds like they would liken it to cancer and try to "cure" it. But then they'd have to start curing a multitude of other things that people have that set them apart.

Good science begins with a strong hypothesis not with a ‘fishing expedition.’

Science is a fishing expedition.

Okay, I'll stop now.

Maybe just one more, so I can go back and read it later. http://mchneighborhood.ichp.edu/pacnorgg/media/Sex_Chrom/xxy_eng.pdf

Two homosexual parents would have a 100% chance of having a homosexual child.

Homosexual couples cannot have children other than by artificial means involving a third party. So it would be hard to link genetics to whether or not a child who's raised by homosexual parents ends up being a homosexual.

What if a male homosexual and a female homosexual hooked up?:shrug:

Lawsuit Over Brokeback ... 05-15-2007 09:43 AM i hope your children can view the world in a different light

Not very likely. They are being raised to know right from wrong, and homosexuality isn't normal behavior. They are taught it is wrong. Go back to your closet.

I disagree with you and find that to be a very shallow statement. Is being mentally retarded normal? No. Does that mean we should be taught that it's wrong? Is cerebral palsey normal? What about MS, MD, or any of the abnormalities people are born with? Being different is not a bad thing, it's just different.

No.

I disagree....if homosexuality is something that is indeed in the genes, I don't think it would be related to a mental and/or physical disability. More something to do with the hormones....so it would be closer related to hermaphrodites :shrug:

If it is something learned...so are many other "sins". It's a human's nature to sin. All I have to say is, I know I'm far from perfect, but I don't want anybody to pass judgement/preach to me. I have my opinions of homosexuality, which I try to keep to myself. I'm fine as long as you don't rub it in my face.

Any child comming from that "hook up" would be the result of a heterosexual act/relationship.

Last time I checked, none of these "other" abnormalties causes the urge to put mr. winky someplace stinky.

Then don't check. What a person does behind closed doors is no one else's business unless it harms someone else.

Nice...

...retort.

That is why I said "Back to your closet". Don't flaunt it and try to make others think it is the norm. It isn't. It's a perversion of something naturally intended to further the species.

There are many others that feel the same as I do.

I'm just sick of THEM wanting the same rights as married couples. They should benefit because they are sexual deviants?

Benefits provide for a stable environment to raise a family. A homo household is not a stable environment for kids.

Life insurance is higher for smokers than non-smokers. Shouldn't insurance companies be allowed to know if the insuree is more of a risk to get AIDS?

 

[PrchJrkr]

...retort.

So, retarded people choose to be? People choose to get MD, MS, etc? Get real...

You missed a lot of reading in this thread, didn't you? Or do you just refuse to accept scientific fact?

...Or do you just refuse to accept scientific fact?

Once upon a time, scientific fact said the sun revolved around the Earth.
