Would you allow a pill that prevents your child from being gay?

[CHIZZY]

the only thing they choose is how flamboyant to be.

What are you talking about?

They choose to be gay. Its a choice they make. I don\'t see anyone or anything forcing them to be homosexual.

All this stuff about them \'being born gay\' or \'its in their genes\' is absolute nonsense.

who do i believe..scientists....or you....mmmmm

the earth is flat.

show me proof that homosexuality is directly linked to genetics

then maybe ill think about changing my mind

my dungeon with the schematics is currently under construction.

About 5 seconds on google is a nice .edu site http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/biology/b103/f97/projects97/Newman.html

search "homosexuality linked to genetics"..has a few billion more. If you want more proof, go to a scientist er something.

and for the contrary, all they have are .org sites. And religious groups can get .org places and we all know their opinion..except liberal society made them accept homosexuality.

Isn\'t hormones a big part of it too?

Just want to throw my 2 cents in.

A. Homosexuality is normal only in a certain context. It\'s "normal" because it happens with a relatively high level of frequency. Otherwise it\'s a counterproductive anamoly in the fabric of nature. I feel it\'s not something to be cherished, but accepted as a reality. Until proven otherwise I\'d like to think of it as a epidemic, as well. Not so much a disease.

In 50 years, come back here and tell me that I was wrong when you see that the US\' gay population hasn\'t risen at least 5 percent. I think it\'s possible that a sizeable portion of gay people were not born gay, and I think that number will increase as we continue to accept homosexuality as an equal to heterosexuality. There is no sex in homosexuality, FFS!

Crucify me for my views if you will, guys. Gays fight for this cause because if they don\'t, their culture is lost. Their lives, their confusion would not be justified if they lost. It\'s like tearing goths away from their Hot Topic. Most gay sympathizers are probably in the same camp as the "the terrorists didn\'t cause 9/11, we caused 9/11" group. Yeah.

B. Of course I\'d allow the pill. However, if my child eventually chose a gay lifestyle I think I\'d be okay with him/her. I\'d just hate myself.

maybe the increase (due to acceptance) led to more people being openly gay. Before maybe people were just "never married" or they married while being gay (it happens).

but ur right about it just being a reality we have to accept. As to being counterproductive, it obviously is..but look at it this way..people bitch we\'re over-populated, so why wish gay people were straight so they could reproduce? and they could help the adoption system..not that i would ever want to be raised by gay parents,lol..but if you were brought up with it you\'d probably accept it.

Study 1

While this study did not come up with any hard core facts about the genetics of homosexuality, it showed that a connection very well could exist.

Study 2

Keep in mind though, that this is just a region of the X chromosome, not a specific gene. Although researchers are hopeful, a single gene has not yet been identified (7). Hamer\'s study also acknowledges the fact that while it does suggest that there is a gene that influences homosexuality, it has not yet been determined how greatly the gene influences whether or not a person will be homosexual

The results that Hamer\'s study did find though, cannot yet be accepted as absolute truth. Another study took place in 1993 by Macke et al. This study examined the same gene locus as the Hamer study, but found that it had no influence on homosexuality (8). As you can see, the results on this topic are still extremely varied and reasonably new, so it is difficult to come to any lasting conclusion.

I did not realize what a new and controversial issue the genetics of homosexuality was. From tid-bits of news that I had picked up along the way, I thought that scientists had located, without a doubt, a gene that plays a role in influencing sexual orientation. From the research that I have discussed above, that is obviously not the case. I am eager to follow this subject more in the future and see what biology will discover next.

 
kind of unconclusive, but interesting read none the less.

even if their was this gene which influenced a person to become homosexual - you must realise that it comes down to their final choice.

I have nothing against homosexuals, i just think its a lifestyle choice.

I agree with you 100% here.

If a girl gets drunk and kisses a girl for fun, that\'s a lifestyle choice.

If you\'re a man who is attracted to another man and falls in love - it\'s genetic.

Just like you don\'t choose to be attracted to your girlfriend/wife.

Common sense rules.

Being constructive is apparently beyond your scope.

You have a knack for getting your point across. I get convoluted at times. Anyway, thanks for putting it so well.
