If you could get an injection that would decrease the lieklihood of your child being born gay, would you do it?

Is homosexuality genetic? Are babies born gay?

A lot of food for thought in this article from the L.A. Times.

Yea, I'd do it.

Note: You should really put a poll on this thread.

If there were no side effects I would certainly do it. I do not harbour any dislike of gays but I would want any child to grow up as normal as possible and being gay, while not a horrible thing, is not a normal thing. It is kind of like being left handed and if they had a shot to prevent that I would get it too.

If there were no side effects? Probably.
Homosexuals are not an endangered species. Nobody would get hurt. And it would be one less thing for everyone to fight about.

But I'd rather have an injection that would prevent them from being idiots.

No. It's too close to eugenics.

The mental defect which causes people to be gay is a serious one. If medication could cure it that would be great
