Not a lone goofball. More and more gays believe they are a distinct race.

[edcoil]

A race can perpetuate the race, gays cannot.

[Pigsley]

Right. Just like Algore. Debate over.

These people are loons. We’d better get this guy out of office or our collective goose is cooked.

[massgopguy]

Well if they are a Race why didn’t they demand to be included on the Census so they can be “accurately” counted? Hint: The number is not 10%.

[no-to-illegals]

Gosh ... A race? There has to be reproduction for that to happen right? Gays reproduce? Well maybe had best be quiet the first gay pres__ent did according to moochelle.

[ClearCase_guy]

Now, if you take that idea of 10 percent of the population

BZZZZZZZZZTT!

Sorry. That's a lie. The correct figure is 1.8% of the population has a mental illness centered on misdirection of sexual attraction.

[longtermmemmory]

no offspring no race. period. it is just science.

it is a biologically anomalous behavior.

[Cowboy Bob]

Now, if you take that idea of 10 percent of the population of the world, we equal 300 million people.

If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth...

[Gaffer]

And the Lord Spake, “Go forth and multiply”....errrr...wait a minute....

[crosshairs]

How about a race toward extinction?

[null and void]

A race? Heck, technically they aren’t even a species, a species can reproduce...

[who knows what evil?]

More and more gays believe they are a distinct race.

Many of us still believe that they are mentally ill...

[KittenClaws]

And I don't believe Barack Obama has gone far enough. All he has to do is say that the LBGT people are a race, and this whole conversation ends.

Do these people really believe that?

[DManA]

The word “race” as it is now being used has nothing to do with a genome. race=culture.

That’s how Muslim is a race. Blacks who don’t live the hip-hop gheto culture are thought to be the white (eg. Clarance Thomas). So by this new definition gay absolutely can be a race.

The language is being systematically destroyed so that it is not impossible to have a meaningful conversation with many many people.

[thethirddegree]

I don’t think so. God calls them what they are—sodomites.

[Tzimisce]

Isn’t a “race” an interbreeding population?

Oh well.

I’m 1/32 gay - now Harvard can hire me. :)

[sickoflibs]

RE :” And there are many gays and lesbians and transgenders who believe that we are a race of people. And the way that we are a race of people, is we're distinctly different than any other race in the idea that we do not sexually identify as heterosexual. Now, if you take that idea of 10 percent of the population of the world, we equal 300 million people”

Don't laugh, this is the intellectual argument that all Democrats are using to justify same-sex marriage as equality. It is the only argument that fits.

The thing that bothers me is with all the left-right debates on this disagreement the past two years I see no Republicans challenging this premise in an effective way to be used politically. If this premise is generally believed as true (as libs claim it is ) then Republicans have lost the battle and it's just time before , you-know-what.

Debate : Are people really defined (and controlled) first by their sexual desires such that it requires new civil rights? That is the argument I would like to see Republicans refute but don't. (this is the liberal version of a 'soul': sexual desires.

On the funny side, Barney Fawank jwust WOVES Obama:

[Joshua Marcus]

I’m gay too. Being happy is gay, so I’ll insist on preferential treatment as long as I am always “gay.” This country is floating down a sewer were turds run the flusher.

[Pearls Before Swine]

A distinct mutation— maybe for a few— but not a race.

I think that they say this because the race card clearly is used to trump everything else in society. So, if you aren’t supinely pro-gay, you are racist. At least there’s some logic in that, because hurling the racist label seems to benefit those who do it.

I think calling themselves a race is going a bit far.

Just settle for a species.
