…because I support protection for potential gays in the womb”

This was part of a comment here ~ 4 Reasons Homosexuality cannot be genetic ~ and has to be the most ludicrous statement Ive heard in sometime. The alternative is to suggest gays should be aborted. Champion. My reaction number one to this post.

Number two. Why, why, why do people even need to prove, or not, that homosexuality is genetic? What in hell does it matter? “Genetic” would of course mean that said affliction couldn’t be cured, as apparently it has been 1000’s of times. What would be the reaction of religious groups if it was proven to be genetic? Not that they’d ever concede because there will always be documented “reliable” research to back whatever point serves their cause. I dont have an opinion either way because an opinion is all it will ever be and…who cares?!

Reaction three. “His research, and that of some other Ph.Ds, is that childhood exposure to physical and emotional abuse and lack of father figures really affect a child’s sexual orientation.” Max replied, “I’m an adult male homosexual. My parents were present and accounted for my entire childhood. I wasn’t a party to any physical or emotional abuse.” I too am presumably suffering for childhood neglect. There cant possibly be any such thing as a happy hooker who had a perfect upbringing. Can there? The alternative would be incomprehensible wouldn’t it. WE MUST FIND WAYS TO EXPLAIN THINGS WE DONT UNDERSTAND. Failing all else, blame the parents…and insult the good ones in the process. (This was part of the comment I couldn’t help adding to the post).

I could go on about this one for sometime but its nearly 3am and there’s little point. A never ending, infuriating debate. Has anyone ever actually changed their mind in the process of one? And has anyone ever heard mention of a Mrs God? Hmmm…
