I love my dead gay son (what movie?)
I have a gift. This gift is both a blessing and a curse. This gift is to see stupidity and know it when I see it.
I have on several occasions tried to engage people in discussing an angle of an issue that people but forth and believe it supports their cause when in it actually undermines their cause, but the people that have been willing to talk about it also have a hard time lighting a match.
The issue at had is this: Is homosexuality encoded in our genes?
If it is, then this series of genes could be identified? No?
If this series of genes is then known to be an abnormality could it be correct when the medical technique of Gene Therapy reaches an advanced state? And then would ALL babies be born straight?
I have always thought that the effort on behalf of the Gay community to show that being gay was genetic and not a choice and therefore not some bad moral decision would at some point backfire on them.
If it is shown that homosexuality is a result of gene defects just like MS or Downs Syndrome how much more ammunition does that give the far right? Will we then classify homosexuals as handicapped or just see them as being even more different from straight people. Will legislation then be passed preventing people from being born with this birth defect?
Well, in the name of this cause, legislation has been introduced to STOP a gay fetus from being aborted if a test can be developed that would identify them in a genetic way as ‘gay’.
Let the stupidity ensue.
