At the very least it lends some sort of credence to the whole gay-gene theory.

Actually credible research puts it around 4%. 10% if you include everybody who has ever had a gay experience in their life, whether homosexual or not.

It would be impossible for any research on that to be credible, unless scientists achieved the ability to read everyone's minds.

I have a cousin who's a lesbian. She and her girlfriend have lived together for years.

I used to have a distant male cousin who was gay. He was murdered this year. They think it may have been drug-related or because he was gay.

Oh, that's terrible. Sad, no matter how or why it happened.

Thankfully I've never met one and hopefully never will. Nobody from my town is gay.

If I ever did meet a gay person I would beat them up.
lol.. Really? Wow. I find that incredible. Please tell us more of your thoughts. It's rare that I get a chance to hear from someone who hates gays that much, and I'm curious about what motivates you.

I know many Gays, especially among the Local 1 Ironworkers I know back home in Chicago. Those guys love to prance around with nothing on but their Bridge hats, Irish Setters and spuds.

"Oh Stanley!!"

"Oh Leo! Use the sleever!"
