How odd that you have this post when I just read a comment earlier about this very topic. And I can't remember where that was...

I believe there was a play that touched on this, "The Twilight of the Golds." Given that so many gay activists like to say "being gay" is like "being black" (i.e. that it is genetically determined), how long would it take them to start referring to "sex preference selection" abortions as the worst kind of discrimination imaginable?

Or, for the sake of argument, consider that "gayness" is believed to be a genetic disorder: clearly most parents don't want gay children. If genetic engineering can be used to solve other disorders, say Tays-Sachs Disease, then why not cure "gayness"?

Not promoting the idea, just pointing out a flaw in the argument about the inherent goodness of genes....

One problem with this on the practical side is that the best explanation I have ever seen for gay males is that they did not have sufficient testosterone at one or more critical points in the development of their brains in utero. One apparent cause of this may be maternal stress at those times.

One problem I have always had with genetic determination of homosexuality is that such is typically an evolutionary dead end. Of course, there is the possibility that such a "gay" gene may be on an otherwise very advantageous chromosone, but I still posit that this does not make much evolutionary sense.

Bruce?

.......... that would be because the human race needs procreation by its example??

Trust me, my man, there will always be enough "breeders" to populate the planet.

Make "sense" of evolution... dude.. go right ahead. Like it matters...........

Matty?

That's really stretching it man....

Give up the ghost. Homosexual men are no threat to you. (Unless perhaps you have latent interest) of course.

I know God places a value on life. Man looks at it as lumps of cells, God sees this as a human being in development. As far as homosexuality goes, The bible says man were created in God's image. Meaning God was and never will be attarcted sexually, and lustfully to the same sex. WHY DID HE CREATE WOMAN FOR ADAM.
