"He's just repeating what I have been saying in this forum for years."
If being gay is genetic as they insist, absent procreation, is it not then a one generation phenomena?
In general though, it clearly makes sense. Think of all the "rights" claimed by the left that kill them or eng procreation. Abortion, Aids, all insundry STD's, sex change, gay marriage.
- "If being gay is genetic as they insist, absent procreation, is it not then a one generation phenomena?" -
Not necessarily.
The gene could be recessive.
Or it could be only partially expressing, and tending to be submerged by other genetic factors.
Of course, it MIGHT be a dominant gene that was socially suppressed in the past by the inability to socially express its effects, such that many with the gene married and procreated, passing it along anyway.
The genetic argument is a pretty bad one.
The truth is probably more that people are genetically programmed to like sex, and that experience shapes individual preferences to a greater degree than is admitted. (Why, in this libertine society, would this still not be admitted? Because sex with and among minors is criminal.)
And therefore, if that's true, the more open and libertine the society is, the more homosexual behavior you get, because more and more people are exposed to it younger and younger, without social opprobrium attached.
Sexual mores in America did not really change in the 1960s. Really, it changed when two successive generations of young American men went off by the millions to the World Wars, and took R&R in Paris. America may not have VOCALIZED their attitudes very well, but they came back with attitudes a bit different from what they left with.
"How're you gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen Paree?"
Of course, while one might blame the French for American libertinism, I am afraid the Americans must have gotten the gay bug from somewhere else. While certainly tolerated in Paris, it is hardly prevalent...except among the Anglo-Saxon expatriate community. Heh heh.
