Guess you didn't notice that I didn't say THIS was a 'gay' themed thread or that the 2 year old child was 'gay'.

Shirley Temple inspired a big boom in Shirleys, like most fad names, the boom was big but brief. Popular songs can briefly spike the popularity of a name for parents.

Just goes to show your lack of understanding of both sexual orientation and human developmental stages.

We are discussing sexual preference.

Once adolescence and jr. high hit, and hormones started kicking in, I was just as girly as everyone else. Some people are pretty sure they're gay from a very early age. I identified more with my brothers, and grew up doing "boy" things, but it never even occurred to me to be attracted to other girls as a romantic interest. You don't CHOOSE to be what you're born to be--it's biological.
Hard to have a serious discussion with a poster who actually believes the earth is only 6000 to 15000 years old and that humans existed at the same time as dinosaurs

There is far more 'substantial' evidence for that (including both human and animal studies) than there is any evidence at all that the earth is only 6000 -15000 years old. In fact ALL the evidence shows that the earth cannot possibly be that young. Yet you have no problem at all believing that.

Fallacious comparison.

Yet, it's heterosexual men who perpetrate the vast majority of sexual assault, sexual molestation and rape of women, girls, boys and other men. And there are a lot more of them.

You apparently don't know who Dr Warren Throckmorton is and the work he does.

Ironically, he is a Christian Evangelical as well as a respected psychologist who works with gay and lesbian people. He is well known in the field and regularly does detailed reviews on the research in this field as well as doing his own research. He also exposes the religiously motivated nutter fringe group NARTH for the anti-gay propaganda mongers that they are. An honest Evangelical Christian who doesn't hold ignorant bigoted views about gay and lesbian people. Strange but true.
