Can a 1 month year old infant be gay?

The only things you have proven are:

1) That you can't tell the difference between an anti-gay propaganda opinion website and a reputable, clinically based, evidence-based health website.

2) You swallow everything you read, no matter the source, as long as you think it supports your prejudices.

3) You don't bother to check whether or not your sources are misrepresenting what a legitimate source says.

LOL! Well done.

But it doesn't seem to matter how much evidence is thrown at these recalcitrant bigots. They just ignore it.

I wouldn't bet on it.

I think at some level he knows that the evidence contradict his beliefs and causes him to experience extreme cognitive dissonance if he thinks about it too much. So to relieve this discomfort, or to not cause any discomfort, he just ignores the evidence. Discomfort solved.

"PROPERTY VALUES ARE KING!"

"If their presence protects my property values, then they darn well better be protected from anyone who cares about their well-being!"

"Hands off my property value protectors!"

Very revealing. VERY.

You proved that you had no access when I posted links to articles on another thread and you confused two completely different studies from completely different authors and completely different fields (genetics and neuroendocrinology), then made claims that didn't make any sense for anyone who had read the full text of the articles and not just the freely available abstracts.

But hey, you can easily prove you have access.

Look up this study:

Relationships among childhood sex-atypical behavior, spatial ability, handedness, and sexual orientation in men.
Cohen, Kenneth M. Archives of Sexual Behavior 31. 1 (Feb 2002): 129-43.

And read the 9 things the brief demographics questionairre looked at in this study.

The first was ethnicity/race. What were the next 3?

You'll find the answer on the 3rd page of the article - at the bottom of left hand column under the heading "Demographics".

It took me all of about 2 minutes to access the full text of the article from the Journal: 'Archives of Sexual Behavior' and read the paragraph I am referring to.

I'll wait.

Neo-Nazi groups? Could you find any rational person who would say they were NOT extremist?
