Pop star Moby, known for his political statements as well as his music, says he'd do everything he could to make his future child homosexual should the singer ever have a family.
He's also blasting conservatives Tom DeLay, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Newt Gingrich as "amoral/immoral" right wingers.
In an interview with Planet Out, a publication geared toward homosexuals, the musician, who is not "gay," was lamenting so-called homophobia in society when he suggested his future child should be raised to be a homosexual.
"As a matter of fact, I was talking to my friend Laura, who sings on [my latest] record, and we're both getting to the point where we want to start families," Moby said. "We're convinced that if we have children, we're going to do everything in our power to make them gay. Like maybe drinking a lot of extra soy milk while she's pregnant, or anything that would work to make that happen. I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead."
On Moby's website, he also said he wonders why Christians in general are so "worked up" about homosexuality.
"I ask this because Christ, at least in the New Testament that I have, never mentioned homosexuality, so we thus don't know what Christ might have thought about homosexuality. Why is the church so up in arms about an issue that Christ never seemed to have mentioned? And why does the church so routinely gloss over so many of the issues that Christ actually did talk about? It just makes no sense to me."
Moby, who once called President Bush a "big, fat f---ing liar" at a New York event hosted by the political organization MoveOn.org, is now taking on well-known conservatives in his online diary.
In his entry yesterday, Moby writes:
"I hope that Tom DeLay sticks around for a long time.
"He's such a profound and continuing source of embarrassment for the right wing in America that his resignation or indictment would actually work to the detriment of the left wing in the states.
"The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
"Seeing as the progressive movement [is], sadly, not so good at self-promotion, the progressives have to rely on crazy right-wingers like DeLay and Coulter to drive people away from the Republican Party and into the ranks of the Democrats."
Moby, whose real name is Richard Melville Hall, traces his ancestry back to Herman Melville, author of the classic whale epic "Moby Dick."
The WND article concludes there; Moby's specific comment is here
The fact that he can trace his ancestry AT ALL is due to HETEROsexuals. If it were up to homosexuals, there wouldn't be any ancestry to trace. The human race would be extinct in one generation.
Oh, and according to the latest propaganda, I thought homos were BORN not made. So how is Mr. Dick going to be able to MAKE his son a homo?
What is in the jar?
What a queer statement....
I heard that you catch gay from disco balls and gloria gaynor songs.
Why make his kid gay? Why doesn't he just drop to his knees and become gay, then he will not have to worry about being with a woman, and he can just be gay with men. Pig.
And the well-known conservatives must be trembling in their boots. What a 'tard.

If he's so enamored with the homosexual lifestyle, why doesn't he live it himself to see if it's something he really, really wants for his child? He could hit on men and his wife could hit on women; something tells me that cockamamie 'homosexual kid' idea would die on the vine.
Moby: If you really intend to practice what you want for your 'son', you would never have him.
So why should the religious LEFT be so upset about nuclear arms, after all, Christ never mentioned it, so why should they be against it?
Gay kids=Hollywood street cred.
Astroglide?
Looks like "Moby" wants a token homosexual in his family. Gee, ain't that "white" of him. Other people just have pets to show off.
Now if Moby were to marry Ted Kennedy, the Cape Cod Orca, you would have Moby Orca or Moby Dick Orca, or two bloated idiots, one who can't sing, and the other who can't swim.
Gives new imagery and meeting to "There she blows!"
Somebody put this guy back into the closet and put some duct-tape over his mouth. There is enough air pollution in the world. We don't need more since we have the DixieTwits over here.
ok but who is going to explain to Moby what to do with a woman to make the baby.
Surely there is another Moby who doesn't prefer Dick.
"Pop star Moby,...."
Who?
This is an example of liberal insanity. It isn't about homophobia it is about nature. What kind of person believes that one does not have any control over who they sleep with?
It comes down to that for me. Homosexuality is not normal and will never be. It is a fringe sexual behavior and it is one of many that all have very similar dynamics. I don't really care what these people do with other adults in their personal lives but when they cross the line into the public square with their obscene lifestyle they must be pushed back and put in their place.
Some day this issue will play a huge role in breaking the dam of civility in this country (it really already has). This is one of many reasons including property rights and abortion where it is critical to have conservative judges who will not make up the constitution as they go.
This Obi? as in Obi-wan Kenobi?
Activism
Moby is well known advocate for a variety of progressive causes, working with MoveOn and PETA, among others. He created MoveOn Voter Fund's "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest along with singer/MoveOn Cultural Director Laura Dawn and MoveOn Executive Director Eli Pariser.
He also actively engages in nonpartisan activism. He has performed benefit concerts for the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function [3], promoting music therapy. Moby also serves on the Board of Directors of Amend.org [4], a nonprofit that implements injury prevention programs in Africa.
He is an advocate of network neutrality and he testified before the US House committee debating the issue in 2006 [5][6] .
