Though girls had cooties when I was a youngster, I was never very far away from giving them a great deal of thought. The thought of liking another guy in such a fashion as that was something that never entered my mind.... it just didn't happen.

You must be aware of the fact that I don't hate anybody.

There are reasons why these conditions exist, and though I may never find all of the answers I might want with regard to this subject, I will still dig anyway.

My science suggests that gay is not given at birth...... and yes, there are those who would have more funding than I that would disagree.... just 'cause you got more money, still don't make it right.

I am absolutely convinced that "gay" is a condition brought on by ones environment as a youngster.
Ok, I'll bite, what type of childhood environment would create the gay condition? Perhaps too much "fairy dust" was sprinkled on the youth's greeting cards?

Ah yes.... And ponder I will....

Gays aren't animals, they are human beings, and it's tough to see science comparing certain animals or animal behaviours to that of humans.

There are reasons why we are humans, and animals are not.

To make this sort of comparison to the animal kingdom, would be like saying it's okay to sniff your neighbours butt to find out who they are, or that it's okay to bite the guy you're playing tennis with because it's fun. Why not just run on out and bring down a cow and eat it's raw meat. So apes play with each other, so let's all just be gay.

I don't think animals are doing this because they are gay... humans are the ones that have assigned them the term, and if they could talk, I'm quite certain that there is a perfectly good and logical explaination as to why some animals do these sorts of things, with being gay not one of them.

If gay were the case in the animal kingdom, then all species would be involved and not just the number mentioned.

If perversity wasn't such the mantra of being gay as assigned by our society, folks wouldn't be working so hard in attempting to justify it's presumed rightful place in our society.

It's a shame that science has had to resort to the animal kingdom in the attempt to justify this type of behaviour. They should be looking to the human kingdom for their justification.

I don't know what sort of science book you've been reading, but homo sapiens are definitely animals.

And it's extremely common to see science comparing other animals to humans. It happens all the time, just watch the National Geographic channel for a little while, or maybe pick up a book or something.

And of course there is always the science laboratory.

I don't dislike all homos. I dislike some homos who think they can't be one with society and feel they must "stick out" in every situation possible. It seems to me like they just are asking for attention. To me, that behavior seems like a "social disorder."

I also do not like how some homosexual communities have a disregard for families. Even the smallest, quaintest gay towns have some of the dirtiest happenings.. Video bars, thongs, prostitutes.. You'd be suprised. To me, those activities seem ignorant.

If they're not involved with any of that stuff then I likely don't have any problem with them.

Gosh I guess you overlooked all the 't**ty' bars!

Lindsay and all,

I thought this Colbert bit was worth sharing on this particular thread:

LOL, and touche! I guess we should condemn heterosexuality too, since they have some of the most perverted habits of all... even here in San Francisco, the straight-oriented "nudie bars" WAY outnumber the gay ones!!

One thing I can't figure out is where people are getting that those of us who disagree with homosexuality have a hatred or disrespect for the people. Just because I think it is revolting doesn't mean that I hate people who live this way. Also, I am polite and cordial to those I see. Why do people assume there is hatred just because we have a different opinion. I have relatives that are gay and I see them and fellowship with them on holidays and family functions. The world assumes that we have no knowledge of the gay community just because we disagree with it.
