Yes, far too much.

I wasn't talking about dating. Every post of yours misses the mark.

If you choose to be gay or straight, how can you know if you're not gay if you haven't had gay sex?

Thank you for your insight. It was so deep and profound that I'm glad you posted the same thing in two threads.

Cognitive dissonance takes us to some pretty weird places.

The "born gay" rationalization is one of those places.

There's no reason to think it impossible that some portion of gay people have a genetic variation that indeed causes them to be born with that sexual inclination - just like you were born with yours. Homosexuality also exists in other animal species as well. Are they also deviant?

I'm not a religious conservative.

I don't have a problem with abortion clinics.

It's legal to have an abortion in the United States.

What the protesters did is wrong in my opinion and reinforces what some people think about gays.

Inclination?

Alcoholism seems to have a genetic component, but being genetically predisposed to alcoholism doesn't make a non-drinker an alcoholic. Ultimately behavior defines the individual and behavior is always controllable on some level.

AA's first step is another fine example of this phenomenon.

There is no reason to debate the genetic basis for homosexuality, as of today there is no gay gene.

My question is are they correct to invade a private office and protest like childish 4 year olds?

It's irrational behavior.

Is that before or after they changed "homosexual" to "gay" in the questions?

Let's see the numbers when homosexuality is the still the subject.

So Luckygem is wrong because you personally dislike him?

A bunch of homosexual losers show up for their fifteen minutes, toss some glitter around because they can't accept others have differing view points and Luckygem has an irrational obsession?
