“I’ve not had diversity training”: Excuse from Tory MP who claimed parents don’t want gay children
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 06:11 EST, 22 December 2012 | Mario Ledwith

Tory MP David Davies recently caused outrage when he suggested that parents wanted their children to be heterosexual and that plans to legalize gay marriage were “barking mad”.

Now the politician has attempted to defend his comments by saying that he has not “done years of diversity training”. Mr. Davies’ continued opposition to gay marriage and outspoken comments have angered equal rights campaigners and the MP admitted that he has been “tactless”. …

In an interview with the Guardian, the 48-year-old said: “I haven’t done years of diversity training, so sometimes I say things which are probably tactless, and I don’t mean to, to be honest, I don’t mean to do that. But these feelings are hard to articulate, and the trouble is that if you try to, and get it wrong, which I probably, frankly, am doing now, you’re going to get no end of abuse for it, and upset a whole load of people, some of whom I actually quite like.” …

To be honest, he didn't mean to be honest.

One reason why if they ever discover a "gay gene" and prove once and for all that homosexuality is genetic, it will never be revealed to the public.

Oh, sure, you would think that they would trumpet such a finding for feed at the liberal trough. But, no . . .

If there's a "gay gene", then there's a genetic test that could be done. And then we'll see which libs like gay babies and which ones just like the idea of gay babies.

Funny story. I’m glad I’m not part of the generation that have been brainwashed with all this ludicrous PC nonsense. No one would ever want their child to have homosexual leanings or be seen as “gay” by others.

The day will eventually come when they’ll be able to tell whether a child is going to be a homosexual or a heterosexual.

The gay lobby will make the test itself a hate crime. Any researcher who develops the test will become a pariah, and any lab which processes the test will be firebombed.

See. That's an explanation, not an excuse. Shoulda stopped there.

Doesn’t really make any difference because he is guilty of thought crimes and can be prosecuted in Britain.

I strongly disagree. Homosexuality is either genetic or hormonal, most likely the latter. No normal person is going to believe sex with a person of the same gender is appealing. At least as a heterosexual, male I’ve never seen another male I’ve thought of as sexually appealing. The thought is revolting.

Find one expectant couple (man and woman) who wants their kid to grow up to be queer.

Judaism’s Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism Rejected Homosexuality
Dennis Prager

“Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development. The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism and later carried forward by Christianity.” snip

Both good articles. I’ve read Prager’s before. That Islamic article was enlightening. Sounds similar to the culture of Hitler’s Brown Shirts.
