Ask a Gay Guy - Objective Dialog

[BDBoop]

Are people like you the Alternative?

Exactly!

Like Eddie Izzard, talking about Italians being fascist.

"Er, okay - ciao!"

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PmuHWPZSkY]Eddie Izzard about italians - YouTube[/ame]

I LOVE his "flag" routine.

That's a staple between my daughter and I. Actually, most any bit from that show is a permanent part of our conversations. "Like a boy being chased by sharky-sharkies!"

"Hanging Gardens of Babylon!"

Etc.

Interesting, what facts do you have that homosexuality is normal?

Just not following your logic or why you believe that others opinions should be discounted.

Okay. I guess I'll start with the APA (American Psychological Association) which is by far the largest and most influential mental health organization in the US, as well as being the largest in the world. Here is a link to dozens of peer reviewed articles that discuss homosexuality, as well as statements by the APA in regards to homosexuality. In short, they say that gay people are not "bad", their sexuality cannot be changed, they make effective citizens and gay couples should have the same rights as straight couples.

APA Policy Statements on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Concerns

Ditto to the other top five largest scientific mental health organizations in the US.

Heres the opening sentence in the largest ever research study to determine the origins of sexual orientation - ""It builds on previous studies that have consistently found evidence of genetic influence on sexual orientation, but our study is the first to look at exactly where those genes are located," says researcher Brian Mustanski, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Illinois at Chicago."

Let me know if you want more.

You should pick a better source.

FYI, there is conclusive evidence that homosexuality is not genetic.

Not completely genetic...but kindly explain why if one identical twin is gay, there is about a 50% chance that the other one is.....even if they are raised apart.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to call bullshit. I don't even want to do anything that feels good 24/7. SO, logic would dictate that we cover a vast array of subjects rather than just getting crazy over that which renders us powerless.

I don't have to explain anything. If it was genetic in origin both twins would be gay no matter what. That is conclusive proof that it isn't genetic, and ends any debate about it on that level.

Now tell me why you don't sound like as big of an asshole as that? Because as stupid and embarressing as I think it is to be a muslim, I haven't once insulted you for it, nor do I wish to forbid Islam in the US.

The opinion of a fudge packer / carpet muncher (don't know what kind of homo your are) about Islam or muslims doesn't mean squat to me.

The article you referenced basically says they feel there is evidence for a homo gene but they don't know exactly where it's located.

Not must substance there; just wishful thinking for the radical gay loons to grasp on to.

Why talk to a *** when we have you?

I am a ***. And a very happy ****** I am.

So? I'm a happy PETITE human, and Bigfoot's avatar is fitting; this thread made me notice. Accept genetic traits, there are few basic alterations available.

She really doesn't. The twin studies vary on methodology way too much to use them to prove anything other than the fact that homosexuality is not genetic.

50% is half of a chance. You only have 2 choices.....gay or not.

Unless you have a link to a study I haven't seen the sample size of twins raised apart isn't large enough to point of it as proof of anything.

It is genetic, though all humans are bi sexual to some degree, thus some environmental influences may steer a few one way or the other. Ending the ignorance about gay humans is a priority, I see gay Americans as the next "acceptable" group to hate. That scares me.

Never said anyone was bad, it also doesn't call it normal, nor does the study Quantum say its genetic, unlike drug and alcohol addictions.

Study after study, for decades now. Being gay is a normal variant, as is skin color, eye color, height and facial features; nothing abnormal.
