You believe there’s a “gay gene” then? What about the lawyer gene?? What about the dude who wants to do it with ducks and chickens?? Some sort of a duck/chicken gene, or is that guy simply a pervert????

It’s mass denial. They don’t see a “recruiter.” They see someone coming to them to meet a “need” which would likely have otherwise been a passing infatuation.

That’s false as well. I’m old enough to know gay folks who didn’t act on their desires until in their twenties or thirties.

True, that is not how all the sheep become lost on Brokemoral Mountain. Only most of them.

they won't have to worry about their kids inbreeding

That would be true IF the children do not seek out anonymous donors for alternate child-bearing processes AND the people administering the program follow requirements that do not allow sibling sharing of the gene pool.

But if brother's sperm can be anonymously donated to fertilize sister's egg, there could be a whole new generation of problems in the future.

I don’t think it matters. Some people are gay. Whether they’re gay because of genetics or environment or martian ray-guns pointed at them in line at the supermarket check-out doesn’t matter.

Until quite recently, most small town communities had reltively few gay people in them. Maybe the guy who owned the flower store or funeral parlor. If a kid was gay, he quite he quite sensibly left the small town for the big city and nobody paid much attention beyond a stray morsel of gossip. Also, gay characters weren’t depicted in movies or television shows. It wasn’t an issue.

That’s changed to the point where many small town folks genuinely feel under attack.

I have no idea how people become gay, and I don’t really care. But I know for a fact that there are gay people who knew they were gay from an early age without being “recruited.”

I don’t know how you can compare a man being attracted to a man to a man being attracted to a duck. Don’t you think that’s a little insulting to straight women?

I have absolutely nothing in common with these people. In fact, their lack of morality presents what I see as a clear and present danger to society.

Let it be made loud and clear that these people are NOT my countrymen.

FRiends the time has long passed for us to secede.

We need conservative states and have the rest of the faggots go to their own country

"You envision a future for your child..."

...where the kid grows up and has a family. A family that the kid and his/her spouse made the old fashioned way. Isn't that right? Isn't that what you meant to say?

Mr. and Mrs. Allen, for that reason alone, if you're telling us you're happy with both your kids coming out, you are completely full of crap.

Lol, no I’m agreeing with you. I had no choice in being attracted to women. It just happened without my consent.

Admit it. You were recruited!

Thank you for that ponderous insight. Mine was a satirical statement.

Well, I think we have beaten this thread to death, and a lot of you out there are gay, and still in the closet, and can stay there, or pretend there is nothing wrong with the whole concept and just get on with things. I know a lot of gay people, and they are from all walks of life. I don’t have to chose whether I need to accept their lifestyle, and they don’t have to try to recruit me into theirs. We get along, and many of you have a normal marriage, and children, and all the rest. Good for you! I also do not care if you have God in your life or not. That is your business. I think the Japanese have the right concept about the personal parts of our lives: Keep it between your ears, enjoy yourself and be happy for others and their lives. Don’t waste precious life on judging others.
