"Oh that would never happen here"
Yes...I know about what has happened in places like Denmark and Canada and I have warned about it happening here.
I think we have to fight this sort of PC insanity.
What title would you prefer to denote two women living as a couple and raising a child/children?
"I also do not want to explain to my 5 year old son that someone intentionally CHOSE to cheat a child out of their relationship with her biological father"
Then don't, and if you don't want your kids having a "public" education, I suggest homeschooling or sending them to a private school.
"And to think of poor Heather either being a nympho to attract men from the lack of one in her life or to the other extreme of being a man-hating Dyke is not the type of person I would like to produce for this society. "
I'm not a man hater or a nympho, so when I have children what will you call me?
By the way... the only way you can be sure not to produce a lesbian is by not having a daughter, as my heterosexual republican parents could tell you.
You've initiated and posted no less than than 9 threads on homosexuality in the last 3-4 weeks.
You denied my claim that you've been posting these homosexual threads week after week and challenged me to back it up.
So I provided the proof...along with the titles of the threads and the dates you started them.
I don't know your entire history is on FR...I was just commenting on your recent history.
Sorry if I embarrassed you.
So you're finally owning up to the fact that homosexuals are beset with paranoid obsessions? Good for you, these kind of admissions are the first step towards recovery.
How clever of you to chop my sentence in half to create an impression that had nothing to do with my original statement.
Very entertaining. You must be really bored.
Good. It doesn't pay to be too thin skinned on FR.
Frankly, I was hoping you'd post them as HTML links, but I can't win them all.
Sorry, but my objective was to prove my point...not to resurrect your favorite dead threads.
By the way, in our modern calendar, 4/21 to 5/9 does not represent 3-4 weeks.
Your right..it's 3 days shy of 3 weeks. Which means you managed to create 9 homosexual threads in 19 days..which looks even more frantic.
Well anyone can practice monogamy. Even homosexuals.
"I just don't want my children to be exposed to "IDEAS" that I find personally and religiously repugnant. "
That's fair enough.
"I had a wonderful childhood with 5 brothers and sisters and a decent mother AND father. I am sorry if you did not have the same experience in your youth. "
I also came from a two parent household.. my parents are still together... and I have 3 brothers. So there really isn't much of a difference.
Lesbians show similar patterns of high venereal disease incidence relative to the general population. They are 19 times more likely to have had syphilis, twice as likely to have had genital warts, four times as likely to have had scabies, seven times more likely to have had infection from vaginal contact, 29 times more likely to have had oral infection from vaginal contact and 12 times more likely to have had an oral infection from penile contact ("Medical Aspects of Homosexuality," Institute for the Scientific Investigation of Sexuality, 1985, Jaffe and Keewhan, et al.).
You're right, qwerty, disingenuous implies mild to moderate dishonesty. You are not disingenuous.
You simply lie through your lesbian teeth.
Yes.. but you couldn't be SURE she wouldn't be. Do you think the Cheney's set out to have a lesbian daughter? We tend to pop up everywhere.
"But then, she was never abused by her father or brothers who love her dearly so she has a healthy respect and love for men."
I wasn't either. Your theories about what cause homosexuality are pretty easily disproven.
"YOU made a good point! Homosexuality is NOT inherited...it is taught or created by social conditions."
No one has ever shown that to be true.
" If I had wanted I could have easily made all my four sons into homosexuals."
Whoa... that's ALL wrong.
I already responded to you in another thread..where I agreed with you on Blair's decision regarding hiring of gays by Religious organizations.
Unfortunately you never seem to respond when I agree with you on these threads.
Guess that would make it difficult for you to continue labeling me as a pro-gay perversion apologist..huh?
Anything to work the word "lesbian" into a sentence, eh?
Actually in some cases you are wrong. Lesbians have a lower rate of contracting AIDS and other STDs than heterosexual women.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among Lesbian and Bisexual Women
Can women give other women STDs? Yes.
There is a misconception among health care providers and women themselves that lesbian and bisexual women have little or no risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STD). This myth is fueled by the lack of reliable studies of STD transmission in these communities.
In fact, the risk of STD transmission between women varies significantly depending on the STD. Herpes, HPV (genital wart virus), and bacterial vaginosis are transmitted fairly easily between women during sex. HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, and chlamydia are much less likely to be transmitted--the risk is low but it is still possible.
The majority of lesbian and bisexual women have (or have had) sex with men, and all STDs are easily transmitted from men to women during intercourse. Often STD do not have symptoms, so it is possible for a woman to have become infected years ago and to still harbor the infection.
It is important that you share your particular sexual history with a GLBT-friendly health care provider who can advise you of the appropriate STD screening tests for you. All women, including lesbian and bisexual women, need to receive regular Pap tests.
HIV
Often people worry more about HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) than about any other STD. HIV is transmitted when infected sexual fluids or blood enter another person's bloodstream.
There are little research specifically concerning woman-to-woman transmission of HIV. It has been documented in several studies that women who have had sex only with other women, and have not used intravenous drugs, are at low risk for HIV. Although there are case reports of woman-to-woman transmission through oral sex or shared sex toys, this is an uncommon transmission route. The risk of exposure to HIV in menstrual blood is not known, but could provide another means of transmission between women.
Women who have had sexual contact with men, which includes the majority of women who identify as lesbian, have a higher risk for HIV. Women who have had unprotected sex with gay or bisexual men, or men who have injected drugs, are at an especially high risk.
Herpes and HPV
Genital herpes and the human papillomavirus (HPV) are more likely to be transmitted between women than HIV is because they can be transmitted by skin-to-skin, genital-to-genital, or mouth-to-genital contact.
In addition, because these viruses are not curable and stay in the body, a woman could acquire herpes or HPV from a male partner and later pass it on to a female partner. Case studies and recent research support this possibility. As HPV can lead to cervical cancer, lesbians and bisexual women need Pap tests on a regular basis, just as heterosexual women do.
Bacterial STD
While chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are less likely to be transmitted between women, it does happen rarely. One study found that four of 241 lesbians had one of these infections. An April 2000 article in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology reports of two lesbians diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which is usually caused by untreated chlamydia or gonorrhea. These studies show that lesbians are at a low, but not nonexistant risk for bacterial STDs, reinforcing the need for providers to obtain full and complete sexual histories.
Bacterial Vaginosis
Researchers are especially interested in bacterial vaginosis (BV) in women who have sex with women both because it occurs frequently among lesbians and because the cause and transmission of BV is not clearly understood. In one study over half of the lesbians had BV and BV was diagnosed even in the absence of sexual activity with a man in the previous year. Additionally, there was a high likelihood that if one partner in a monogamous couple had BV her partner would as well.
It is important for both providers and lesbian and bisexual women to remember that orientation and identity are not enough to assess risk of STDs. A woman's history--particularly her sexual activity with men--and her sexual behaviors are more reliable and comprehensive indicators of risk.

Is this necessary?
Disagreeing with people is one thing...but you seem to be consumed with bitterness towards those who challenge you on anything.
Why are you so hateful?
Feel free to hurl at me the insult, "heterosexual!"
I didn't say impossible.. I said lower. And this link is agreeing with what I said. Thanks.
