Hi, I like the part about the Duck.
My friend in Kansas email my this. He said Kansas is about to vote on this constitutional amendment.
He ask for help on a poll.

Should the Kansas Constitution be amended to define marriage and civil unions as between one man and one woman only? Poll ends friday.

This headline would be really funny (albeit redundant) in Spanish.

BTTT!

Well, "When did you choose to be gay?" is a silly question for a more basic reason. I could ask, "When does a serial killer choose to become a serial killer?" Many describe a compulsion to kill. Yet do they really want to argue that serial killers are born as serial killers and are not serial killers as a result of their upbringing?

LOL! That's what I thought, too!

For those Freepers not in on the joke, "pato" (duck, in Spanish) is a word used to refer to a gay man.

[anniegetyourgun]

pato o pato?

[newsgatherer]

OK, go ahead and give it to us in spanish.

Good letter and it looks like a good website starting up.
Good fortune to you folks. I passed the link to a few folks.

Even with this argument it still doesn't appear that gays chose to be that way. I do subscribe to this idea though, I would imagine their relationships with their parents would cause them to gravitate towards one sex or the other. But still it isn't a choice they made, they just feel more comfortable around one of their own sex.

[newsgatherer]

I believe that is the point Linda is making here.

[newsgatherer]

Hey, thank you, we appreciate it.

[FreeRep]

Thank you. I vote yes.

I had some friends in Denver that raised rabbits and Pekinese dogs for sale. Both were allowed out in their large fenced backyard. Everyone of their puppies would start to run and then end up hopping across the yard after about one or two steps. One of the funniest things I ever saw. The dogs hopped like bunnies when they ran for the rest of their lives.

I like the duck analogy. I'll have to use it next time I talk to one of my crazy liberal friends (few and far between- can't stand talking to most liberals.)

[Clemenza]

Patos y patos? LOL!
