What would happen if it was discovered that homosexuality is caused by exposure to mercury? Would the gay community be opposed to reducing mercury in the environment and possible testing and monitoring of blood levels? A similar situation has arisen in the deaf community. Cochlear Implants allow deaf people to hear again provided it is done when the child is a baby or toddler. Many in the deaf community are opposed to these because they want their children to remain in the deaf community. Some speculate that they dont want their numbers to go down which is quite possible and in fact is happening right now. These communities take on a life of their own and they want their numbers to increase not decrease. They dont want cures!
I'm aware there have been some like that and hope their number is not many. But I think you're right about some of these loons. They want to be special and of a community of special people.
