....I just cancled my American Express Card that I carried for 15 years. Flat out told them I would not support a company that sponsers the Gay Agenda! She asked me what I was talking about, (DUMB!)I answered the misleading advertising of a married gay couple on the show Amazing Race.....OKAY she says! GUESS THEY DON'T CARE!

Well, at least you got "true homosexual" right.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t change.

As madg used to say.. there are more proclaimed "alien abductees" than ex-gays.

madg was excellent at sophistry wasn’t he? He use to compare childbirth with fisting too. He no more knew whether change is possible than the man on the moon because he’s never tried to.

I already read the twin studies; too bad they don't prove your point.

Of course they do, why would you say that?

As for your link to the brain studies, it's a cache and the links don't work.

Darn I knew that would happen. I don’t know why Nader Kalantar’s research study isn’t on the UCLA server anymore but I know most of the flaws in the Hammer, LeVay, Swaab and Hofman and the Prenatal Hormonal Hypothesis studies so maybe we can discuss these one by one.

The term "virgin" is not a legal term, unlike the term "married" which is a legal term. Hence, no need for any "state" to "certify" that the "virgin" team members are in fact virgins.

In addition, there's no danger in misleading children into believing that two non-virgins are in fact virgins. What would be the harm? There is, however, danger in misleading children into believing that two men can be "married"--which is against the law.

Qwerty, this thread wasn't intended to re-open the never-ending debate on the morality of homosexuality or whether homosexuals can change, etc.

My point in starting this thread was simply to address a separate issue, i.e., whether it is misleading to viewers (especially children) for CBS to describe two males as being "married" to eachother when no state in the U.S. recognizes "marriage" between two men. Being that the terms "married" and "marriage" are legal terms, and that no one is "married" unless the law recognizes them as such, I see no justification--only a transparent political motive--for CBS's use of the "married" term to describe Reichen and Chip.

As for your personal sexuality, I'm perfectly comfortable leaving that topic alone. It's frankly no one's business, and I don't really care enough to know about it anyway.

Emmylou, you're just proving my point. Marriage is a LEGAL term. Common law marriage only exists when the LAW says it does. Hence the name, COMMON LAW marriage.

[Republicus2001]

Is CBS a tee-vee show or something?

[Vitamin A]

Emmylou, the California Constitution says that marriage only exists between a man and woman. California is not a common law marriage state. But even if it were, the California Constitution would prohibit the notion of a "common-law gay marriage" because that would not be a male-female marriage.

"Qwerty, this thread wasn't intended to re-open the never-ending debate on the morality of homosexuality or whether homosexuals can change, etc."

You're right. Maybe you'd want to address this post to other people who took it off on a tangent, like the poster I was responding to... markcowboy. Or do you consider his post on topic?

[Qwerty]

"But tell me.....are you 100% certain that homosexual fantasies are not rooted in a mis-directed sex drive?"

First, I want to say that you and I will have to fight this out another time, as Vitamin A is correct in saying that our conversation is off topic.

As for being 100% certain that homosexual fantasies are not rooted in misdirected sex drive, no of course I can not claim to know such a thing.

But you can't, either.

I'm out to get a few things done with my day, hope to see you around to fight it out later. ;-)
