The gay movement goes beyond simple sexual attraction and hormonal heuristics; it is a spiritual calling to the liberation of the fettered lesser half of the inner zygote in each of us.

For men, this exhibits itself in flirtatious and exhibitionist behavior when around healthy male specimens with strong masculine aura, for women it results in stern and dominant aggression when faced with females who possess the more helpless and declining attributes of the easily persuaded.

Bisexuals have almost equal parts of both determinants in emergence and go through life in a ping-pong fashion, never quite landing on one side of the board to stay.

The transgendered are characterized by strong associations with the unattainable until it becomes obsessive and the only conceivable solution is surgical decoration which makes them attractive only in their own eyes and they often lead lonely lives because they fool no one.

But, in their pretended joy at being made whole they bond with like thinking oddities and they all, in their strange and awkward way, dance upon life's stage providing entertainment until the last note falls.

Comment from his mother:

""I could have changed Adam on the outside to where he would have showed me the macho boy that I would want as a boy. But that would not change who he is inside. And I think that would have damaged him a lot more," she said."

Let's don't get too far away from the fact that, as yet, we only have the word of the self-declared that they are gay which is the only scientifically valid reason for doing studies such as these.

Prison sex or any group sex act has an element of coercion.

Can you reference that so we may read the study?

The theory implied that the woman's body was fighting against the subsequent son's development as a primitive defense.

Might I politely suggest that if you haven't the time to find and reproduce your cite that you quit wasting our time by repeatedly referencing it?

Nah, there's a Shari Finkelstein on every streetcorner, only she'll likely tell you that this is just temporary cause she's got a Broadway show opening any day now.

Yes?

I wouldn't say a "primitive" defense, it's just a regular immune system response to non-self antigens.

Yes you may.

And I might politely suggest that if you don't like my posts, don't read them.

I did cite two other similar studies that reached the same conclusions.

You may chose to ignore them if you wish.

If so, you might think about joining D.U. or MoveOn - they also like to ignore facts that don't fit their preconceived notions.

Repeatedly? I referenced the study twice. I guess that means that George Bush has "repeatedly" been elected President!

Yours is a very good question because it goes to the heart of whether society is better served by accomodation or by modification and the behaviorial sciences is far from consensus on that point about things which are already under society's control; even the ways in which drug addicts and alcoholics are treated or avoided, medicated or incarcerated, the blind or the deaf refusing restorative therapy versus the allowance of them continuing their version of normal has even brought debate at high levels.

Those at the forefront of the gay movement want acceptance, accomodation and validation all and can't afford to go back for fear of alienation by the members of their "support" groups.

"How will you feel say in two hundred years Jeremiah, when it is found that homosexuality is yet another blip in the formation of the human - and we have so many aberrations awaiting development in our minds, our bodies and our choices in life as we develop."


That's one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

Sneaky way you insinuated your true motive in this thread by pleading innocent curiosity, you were just waiting for someone to take the bait to jump into a senseless argument that aberations are somehow evolutionary.

"Danielle, Adam and Jared's mom, says she began to notice this difference in Adam when he was about 18 months old and began asking for a Barbie doll."

Actually, I think I was interested in Barbie, not a Barbie doll when I was a kid.

In my opinion, in some cases, there are people born who are in some way genetically or biochemically different. Sort of like a male trapped in a female body, or vice-versa.

HOWEVER, I think such situations are quite rare. I believe most "homosexuals" are social deviants who have acquired this vice from other such individuals. A society which permits this kind of behavior, accordingly, contributes to its dissemination.

Your prison example isn't exactly behind closed doors or unknown to the other prisoners. Had I meant circle jerk, I would have said that.

Perhaps, but the good professer didn't show such actions, he merely conjectured them.
