Either you guys live in San Francisco (and then you might ask yourselves why you've chosen to live in a town renound for its gay community) , or I don't really know what you're talking about.
You appear to me to be saying that you are plagued by homosexuals, and that they're infiltrating your lives.
Seems prety simply to me.
If you don't want to be queer, don't be.
If you don't like queers, don't hang around where queers congregate.
Is that really all that hard to understand? |

Rep Power: 2 | | | Been trippin' on gaydom for yrs. The analogy is anything but Apt, but whatever.
I don't know about you but I don't fear gays, of all people.
"Now you're just being contrary. Are you really tripping over gays in your life?"
You can say that to anyone who thinks differently. Contrary is not equivalent to Wrong.
An' yes, here in the sticks, I've been smothered in the gay agenda, in the Sticks I can't hide from it or keep it from my children. There's some sorta mob mentality surrounding it now, it's picked up so much speed you'd think it'd developed into an American fad, an infatuation.
People are infatuated by the lowliest of things, though.
"You appear to me to be saying that you are plagued by homosexuals, and that they're infiltrating your lives."
That's simplifying.
"Seems prety simply to me.
If you don't want to be queer, don't be."
Nobody said we feared they could indoctrinate us.--You've been indoctrinated already and don't know it.
"If you don't like queers, don't hang around where queers congregate.

Is it any harder to understand that I should get to pick how my kids come up in the world to some degree I can live with??!! |

I don't recall the British Broadcasting of Communism covering those studies, however. What a shock. |

To ask one of my own: If this is true, doesn't that support the notion that there is an element of choice involved? If one is bisexual then there is some element of choice. But you really can't choose who you are attracted to, can you?

But if the spectrum theory is correct, then choice would necessarily have to be part of it. Unless there is a defined tippingpoint along the scale for which one side is gay, one side is straight. But that would undermine the whole spectrum theory since it would make the matter once again black/white.
Basically, unless choice is involved, it has to be a black/white matter.
Or to put it another way, it's logically inconsistent to say it isn't a choice but it's also subjective.
Get it?

But that would undermine the whole spectrum theory since it would make the matter once again black/white. I don't know either. It seems to me everyone would have the ability to be either and some combination of factors pushes one either way. Those factors could be hormonal, genetic and/or experience. Kind of like picking chocolate chip cookies over lemon pie...it could be a choice but something is making one choose.
Wouldn't bisexual people be the gray?

Rep Power: 410 | | | I don't know, the entire thing is pretty confusing. What makes anyone attracted to anyone else? I've heard various things...a certain body type, a certain odor, etc., so really being attracted to someone of the same sex probably isn't any more mysterious (or just as mysterious) as me liking a certain type of man. Which brings us back to the question you asked earlier--why does it even matter?
Blame it on the monkeys we descended from.

I was hoping gnome-deeplume might offer some insight on the matter.

Brown eyed people have been shown to have better vision that blue-eyed people. Their dark eyes absorb more light waves. So why would the human race need to evolve to blue eyes? |

the evolutionary advantage of homosexuality lies in it's nulification of the necessity to fight for the right to procreate the specie. In an overpopulated state animals tear each other apart for the right to mate. homosexual variations deflates this conflict. |

But wouldn't homosexuality (in essence) be a "self-defeating" evolutionary mechanism. In the human world, we have the knowledge to pro-create even if you are a homosexual (i.e. surrogate mothers, test-tube babies, sperm donation) etc. However, in the animal world, homosexual animals would be unable to reproduce, thus not being able to spread their mutated gene. This is interesting....... |  | |
