It is only logical that children of SS couples will be more influenced in favour of homosexuality.
However,influence is not the significant factor...
If the children don't have it in them,they will not become homos...

Hopefully,we have no extremes ,yet,either in homo couples or in cases of polygamy.
I know of no cases of SS polygamy or SS incest...

In "favor" of homosexuality?

They may be more accepting (of their own or others'), but since people do not choose to be heterosexual or homosexual, there is little that can be done to influence a child's sexuality.


I'd imagine some radical gay parent hellbent on making their straight child "gay" (i've never heard of such a thing) will be about as effective as a straight parent trying to make their gay child straight (which actually does happen, and often in violent ways).

I think it might encourage some more bisexuality.

We are so intimidated by a tiny impudent chihuahua furiously barking from beneath a sofa.
The Mormons would be allowed polygamy if they immigrated here instead of being born here. But I'd rather we didn't let people in this country.

I don't see what the problem with polygamy is if all of the parties are consenting adults.. I don't want to get married, period, but if someone wants to be married to 5 people, then they should be allowed to so long as they are all willing to do it. If I don't want to marry 5 people, I won't marry 5 people.

Better yet, the government should stay out of private arrangements and get out of marriage.

Multiple partners, no real law against it--just multiple marriages. Personally, I prefer monogamous relationships. Don't really want to catch something I don't want...some of which can be cured, some of which cannot.

Wouldn't the gay community love that! It's a good thing they are outnumbered 20 to 1. Or maybe I should say "Thank God" they are such an insignificant percentage of our population.

I think gays represent (realistically) between 3% and 5% of the total population .... which is not "insignificant." That's... oh.... 15 million? people?

It's more than the % of Jews in this country, and on roughly on par with the % of Asians. It is not "insignificant" by any means. The problem is, it's very hard to gauge. A significant amount more will engage in homosexual acts but eschew the label.



But, it goes to show: If you think the incidence of homosexuality is so insignificant, then that should just be more evidence that gay rights, marriage, etc. will have no effect on the general population, or whatever insular, superstitious lifestyle they choose to follow.

In this day in age, you usually go get tested together and communicate about sexual activity. Atleast that's how my generation does it.

I'm curious why the left cares so much more about small minorities than they do for substantial minorities or even majorities?

Why isn't the left fighting to either end the selective service or require the women have to register too, or is it okay to discriminate against 49% of the popuation and jail them and deny them student loans if they don't comply simply because they were born with a penis?
