An academic has enraged homosexuals with his claim that recipients of the sperm of gay donors should be told that a "gay gene" could be passed on to the child.

What is worse is, if you knew while the child was in utero that he was going to be a pillow biter, would you put him up for adoption?

Seems only fair. Hoist by their own petard, I'd say.

Damn, you can't talk about these things without sounding dirty.

The suggestion has been dismissed as pathetic by a gay rights organisation.

But . . . . but . . . . aren't they the ones who claim to be born that way?

I think most of them are born that way, and parents shold be warned.

Homos make gigantic shift from pro abortion to pro life.


Democrats are in BIG trouble!!

Can't have it both ways.

I do enjoy it when the misguided rhetoric of liberals come back to bite them in the patootie. This gay gene business has all the makings of that, because is the scientists every claim to have discovered the gay gene, well...

I wonder if Dr. Sin is trying to prove a point:

If it's genetic, and there's a special gene, and people with it are considered a "race", entitled to "civil rights", then why not tell parents beforehand?

Parents are told the RACE of the donor.

WOW!!! A true Catch 22...

"NO NO NO I was BORN gay!!"

Then this news comes out... maybe certain people don't want the gay gene passed down to their offspring...

"NO NO NO... dang it! Stop making sense! I didn't mean it literally!"

Suddenly the room gets smaller. meh.

I was going to post this to "Front Page News," because I believe that this is EXACTLY the kind of philosophical political dilemma that people come to FR to discuss. This a political web forum. Do you need me to list the obviously less worthy "Extended News" stories that you deem sidebar-worthy?

*uh-oh* There's a guy named Gene working in my department....

[vox humana]

The solution is simple. Since there is no agreement on the existence of a "gay" gene, let the gays donate sperm. If the kid turns out straight, the parents can keep it. If it's gay, let two gays or lesbians adopt it. LOL

"Even if there was an inherited component, it was insulting to suggest that people should be warned of it, Mr Marsh said. "It implies that being gay is somehow inferior. It's not a disease, not a handicap, even taking the view that you are born this way. So be it."

Yes it is a disease, and it is a mental handicap. Yes parents should be warned if it is genetic.
I however don't buy this, as there have been literally hundreds of thousands of success cases from groups like Exodus. If it were genetic, then I could have therapy to change the color of my eyes.
