Your question reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry is trying to explain to Elaine that they never change teams 'you only have access to the equipment 20% of the time - they have access to it all the time"

Say it ain't so, you liberals. You mean one can choose one's sexual orientation and biology has nothing to do with it. Shocking news!

Maybe they hope to sweep it under the rugBooooooooh [snicker]

And yet you found time to click the article and post. If you didn't care, you wouldn't be here. LOL! Not what I meant -- poor choice of words on my part. It's true that I don't give a rat's ass about Sheryl Swopes coming out as a lesbian (which is not a surprise, anyway).
What I don't have time in my schedule for, is the wishful thinking on the part of the author that the homosexual lobby will be pissed about this. They won't be: they understand that any publicity like this is good publicity for them.

Still can't get over the shock of a WNBA player being a lesbian! Next thing they'll tell us is that there are lessies in the WPGA and women's tennis.

Over the years, I've known quite a few homosexuals, both male and female. I would guess that about 1/3 of the men and maybe 1/4 of the women had a strong sense of always having been homosexual, the rest were in varying degrees either the victims of seduction or abuse by other (usually older) homosexuals at a vulnerable time in their lives, or in other cases 'opportunistic' or 'lifestyle' homosexuals. Opportunistic homosexuals are those who sort of fall into it as adults (or late adolescents) as a result of either experimentation with friends (perhaps after a bad relationship or with the typical stirrings of the erotic as kids) and then often (men especially) feel 'stuck' with it. Lifestyle homosexuals is the term I'd use for those, and I've known a few, attracted to the fast hedonistic (well, truly debauched) gay 'scenes'.
So, based on my own anecdotal experience, I'd say there are both "born that way" gays (leaving aside the question of whether it's a result of nature or nurture) and those who are not. The latter, IMHO, greatly outnumber the former. If homosexuality were truly genetic, given that most homosexuals reproduce less than heterosexuals, you would expect to see their number diminish over time. Only way to get new ones, if they're not breeding, is recruitment.

Ok. Sorry if I sounded snippy. :(
And you're right: all that matters is that there's another member on the team; it doesn't matter if she was a late round draft pick.

So far I have not heard any backlash from the Homosexual Lobby. Maybe they hope to sweep it under the rug. The gay community hates bi-sexuals for the same reason. It counters their arguement that people have a choice.

They will definitely try to get their licks in ... so to speak.

Because bees don't usually come out of hornets' nests, perhaps?

Once again, if you do not parrot the liberal line, they will attack you... especially if you are a member of one of "their" protected groups. Can't have any diversity of opinion on that side of the fence.
To: Kahonek
Because bees don't usually come out of hornets' nests, perhaps? Yes, of course.

Thank you for your post. I had wanted to say something similar, but felt sheepish and petty about it....didn't want to be the grammar police and all...but the use of the word "literally" when they don't mean "literally" really gets on my nerves...
To: HostileTerritory
Bennett needs to be sued for contributing to the demise of the word "literally." William F. Buckley would be proud of you! As am I.
Do you think we could make any progress with an effort to make people use the words "lie" and "lay" correctly?

I'm not upset. She wasn't on my wish list anyway. But she does give Ville Niemenen a serious challenge for having the largest head in sports.
