June bugger month. Perhaps they can celebrate by trashing Boy Scout offices.

Whoa to those who call good evil, and evil good.

How berserk do you suppose they'd go if we hetero's demanded a Co. Hetero Pride day/week/month? And no, I'm not kidding.

Aren't transgenders the ones trapped in the body of the wrong sex?

No they are perverts that get surgically altered to look like the opposite sex. Since none can reproduce, they obviously never actually change gender, they just get to hang out in the wrong bathrooms and are now harder to detect when they are getting their thrills. To some people who you pee with is very important.

Why do some people define themselves by their sexual preference?

Why can't these people be honored individually for their own merits?

Because they have nothing other than their perversion to be proud of?

One famous example of a transgendered person (but not too many non-bio majors realize as being one) is Jamie Lee Curtis, who has XY chromosomes, but has lived all her life as a female.

My daughter succeeded in flooring me this evening when she mentioned that in her college bio class, the prof mentioned that Jamie Lee Curtis (currently starring in "Freaky Friday") is actually geneticly male, and suffers from a genetic abnormality that made her develop as a female. I HAD to check on it, and found she's standardly listed on multiple college biology sources as being an example of the condition.

I'm sure there are lots of XX females who wished they looked as female as XY Jamie

I don't believe for a minute anyone chooses to be gay (or bisexual or straight).

Gee one of my friends was Gay for years, but chose to become Straight in Church. She says Jesus freed her. She told me the orientation argument is a lie. She said that most homosexuals are that way because of a lousy parent structure. How do you ignore the hundreds and hundreds of X-gays that have normal family lives now after detox in churchs?

I think you "do not believe for a minute," because you are excusing your actions, instead of taking action.

People are dealt the cards they're dealt for whatever reason, but people can't just turn off their sexual attractions. They can refrain from acting on them, but the initial sexual attraction is not within their control.

Are you blaming God for your homosexuality or your family life?

Have you ever been pissed at someone so much you want to choke the ever living sh*t out of them? How come Killing people is not an orientation, but a choice, if giving into your lusts is a oriention not a choice?

When are they going to excommunicate Granholm? If Maida hasn't the sense to do so, if he's just refraining because of politics, then he has NO business standing up for the Catholic Church and what it supposedly believes in.

As for homosexuals, I believe the CDC figures found that a homosexual male has an average lifespan of 41 years because of AIDS, murder, drug use, etc What's so attractive about a lifestyle that offers death? The only way homosexuals can propagate is to recruit. Their favorite recruitment centers are, tragically, or SCHOOLS. Some organized churches are the next line of defense and they're failing miserably.

That thing you heard about Jamie Lee Curtis is nothing more than an urban legend. In truth, Jamie Lee Curtis was born, raised and is, indeed, female. Just ask Christopher Guest.

Hmm, so you are saying that she is a male because your science says so. She is not mutilated with a scalpel, she can have babies, and knows she is a female. You trying to convince her that she is a guy because of your blood test might just piss her off. Specially if you chose the wrong time of the month.

I think you might have a reality check problem. I bet you think your great great grandaddy was an ape because someone told you that too...

If you expect me to respond to an insult, you're mistaken.

As seems to be the case in several areas.

ROTFLMBO! Once someone looked at the results of an experiment to determine the validity of the theroy. Now we ignore the Reality and grasp the theroy instead!

You ever stop to think the guy that figured out that xx and xy determined sex might, (gasp!), have been wrong?

Thanks for the best laugh all day!

It was not an insult, but I do expect you to be insulted instead of face reality. Denial is a boat on the river Styx.

Even here in ultra-liberal Seattle, the "GLBT Pride Celebration" is limited to one weekend and not a whole MONTH. What the heck is up with Mighigan?!

Why only four sexual orientations are to be privileged? There are many more around.

You know, that's a good point. If they are going to do this why not just declare one day a generic, all-encompassing "Sexuality Pride Day", make it a nat'l holiday and leave it at that? After all, liberals are supposed to be inclusive and not exclusive right?

The name of the condition is "Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome . People with the condition are geneticly male, appear female externally (breasts, no facial hair, short vagina) but have no uterus, ovaries, or fallopean tubes (and thus cannot have kids), and have testes (but the testes did not descend).

Michigan is a relatively conservative state that's bogged down with three armpits, known as Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor and Flint. There are big democratic political machines in those areas that tend to overwhelm the rest of the state, especially when it comes to the press. I haven't found ANY mention of Granholms' love for the sexually-confused in any of the state papers, including the Detroit News and Lansing State Journal. If her stance were to be known on a large scale, it would go a long way in flushing her approval down the toilet.
