“Gay activists attempting to prove the existence of a gay gene haven’t thought out all the ramifications of this.”
They certainly should; India is the largest democracy in the world, and they’ve had to put limits on abortion with a strange twist: once parents realized the baby in the womb was female, they would abort them. The government stepped in, and banned abortion after ultrasounds had determined the gender of the baby. The freedom-loving Indians have responded by 1) having covert abortions done anyway, or 2) carrying the child to term and leaving them on the roadside to die. It is inevitable, I guess, in areas where a dowry can cost 5 years’ wages...
Good argument for abolishing the dowry system. Though my father has opined that the tradition of a bride’s parents paying for her wedding is a form of dowry.
