Does anyone else know who the people are in that picture?
Yeah, it's a well-known photo...
It's a picture of the founders of Microsoft, including Bill Gates, way back when they were still washing their faces with Stridex. LOL!
ROTF! If it's so private, why is it on the Starwars.com website? LOL!

Use yer head for something other than a hat rack, eh?
It MEANS don't even GET married and have kids unless you are going to take your vows seriously, know if the person you are marrying is compatible and will be a good parent, and take RAISING YOUR KIDS SERIOUSLY!!!
And, with the common-sensical pegging of homosexuality to a bad childhood, we can see that homosexuality is more like the mental disorder it USED to be considered as until the homosexual lobby got the Psychiatric community to change their minds.
Homosexuality IS a mental disorder.
But, but, but I thought they were born that way.
Seems the decline in the traditional family contributes to homosexuality.
"Normal" is stretching the case a bit. He had Mommy issues from way back. His marriage to Priscilla started breaking down as soon as Lisa Marie was born, because he couldn't reconcile the idea of someone as both a mother and a sexual being. That, and he had a thing for teenaged girls, including the ones he hired to wrestle each other in white cotton panties.
Dude had more issues than National Geographic.
Not sure why the glam-thing happened in his later years.
He was a showman. It was the '70s. Glam was what audiences wanted. I don't think there's any chance that he was gay, because, well, have you seen Graceland? His taste in interior decor was beyond appalling.
I don't buy it. "Judge me by my size, do you?" isn't something a woman would say. More like "Fat does this cloak make my butt look?"
In what country? Calypso and Samba were roughly contemporaneous with the rise of Rock & Roll, and bebop came earlier. As did folk, in groups like the Kingston Trio.
Teen idols tend to be fey and androgynous, because they're non-threatening to the age group that buys Tiger Beat magazine. That goes back to Tab Hunter and Frankie Avalon (probably way past that, but I can't think of any off the top of my head), includes Shaun Cassidy, Michael Jackson in the late Jackson 5 era, Simon leBon, Prince, a young Matt Dillon, and more recently Leo DiCaprio. Where the boys on the poster are shirtless, they're also hairless, or they won't share wall space with the unicorn posters.
That's reading too much into it. Infants are born asexual. Whether they later identify as hetero-, homo- bi-, trans- or asexual, or exhibit some form of deviancy or paraphilia, probably involves an interplay of genetic predisposition and environmental factors, as do a great many aspects of human behavior.
I agree. My experience with the homosexual community is that the VAST MAJORITY have suffered some form of sexual molestation as a child. It seems so obvious yet I never see any studies on it. Hmmmm. Could these studies be agenda driven?
I don't see how that is in any way obvious. Nor is it obvious that homosexuality is aberrant in the animal kingdom -- in fact, the available evidence argues to the contrary. In many primates, most notably bonobos, sexual release has a social bonding function quite separate from reproduction.
There's a pretty credible argument, based on animal studies, that there are selective pressures in favor of homosexuality. Incidences of homosexual behavior among animals tend to increase when overpopulation kicks in. Populations without latent homosexuality will tend to overbreed and overfeed until they all die out, while populations with that latency will find their own form of population control and survive.
The reality is that we are born with a genetic drive to heterosexuality - and only psychosocial trauma during development powerful enough to derail that drive (ie, molestation) brings about homosexuality.
TWEEEEEEEEET! Flag on the play. Using the conclusion as a premise to prove the conclusion. Ten yards and loss of down.
The issue may have been equally how the mother dealt with the child than just the father's influence. Did the mother encourage the clinging and baby the child to "make up for" the overbearing father? Both parents teach, guide, and influence a child. I've known several gays whose fathers were (from their perception) overly strict or cold, etc. But it was the mother's reaction actually made things worse by undermining the father and promoting wrong-gender behavior.
Correlation is not causation. All of these stats are more likely CAUSED by the nature of the culture. Open homosexuality and broken familys are both results of the liberal cultural climate.
I really get tired of hearing that a causes b when all they have is a bunch of statistical correlations.
Mary Cheney baby bump.
Notice this study says makes people "more likely"
This study reall just says that people in these situations are more likely o become that way rather than it being a choice.
