>> a very significant gay fundraising communicate. the president's advisers are hoping that his announcement last week will not only appeal broadly to young voters in particular who according to the polls can be very supportive of garr marriage but the gay activists and gay donors tonight will be the first test of that.

>> usa today gallup poll on women. morally acceptable regarding same sex marriage. 57%. legalized marriage equality , 56%. when you look at democrats as well. morally acceptable. 58%. so big numbers with independents and women and we know those are key groups when we look at this presidential election....

“Ricky Martin”

You know, this is the guy that could almost make me believe that people ARE born gay.

When he was at his peak, he had more good looking women throwing themselves at him than I could even fantasize about (and I have some pretty good fantasies). Yet through it all, he preferred guys?

He had to be born that way or dropped on his head - a lot.

He was sexually abused by a male while he was with Menudo.

“He had to be born that way...”

A team of genetic researchers in New Zealand has announced a simple amniotic test which will determine the child's sexual preference to 99.9%. They plan to offer the testing in the next couple of years so gay fetuses could be aborted according to the preference of the parents.

The gay gene has been outed.

Looks like abortion will not be going away soon.

I guess they decided to charge $35k per chair so they could make a premium if four fags (at $5k per) decided to split one chair flipped over.
