Yeah, that's probably a safe bet... and the reason I can only take this forum (P&OC specifically) in small doses. I think my dose for the week is all used up now!

Have you even been to California, or do you think it's all like a scene out of Baywatch?? Funny thing is, you're probably typing this on a computer or phone that was conceived & developed just miles from my house. Even funnier, the conservatives on this forum often call us a cesspool - and now you're calling us dreamers with no real problems? Make up your minds, so I can decide whether to work or go to the beach tomorrow!
I was driving on the same freeway when OJ was running from the cops in his white ford bronco. California is the worst off state in the union because it is filled with shallow, egotistical people who all think they are special and their time to shine in the spotlight is coming soon! What do you know about Cleveland, Ohio or Flint, Michigan?

Go look out your window and day dream of your star on the walk of fame, I'm sure your 15 minutes are coming soon...

I can hear your Beach Boys album from Chicago.

No. Simply asked you to prove to me that people are born gay. Show me something that says "we have proven 100 % that there is a gay gene". It's an easy question, stop trying to move the goal post just because you lost. this isn't about "suggestions" or anything of the sort.

It's not about "denying science", it's you who cannot
Provide scientific PROOF to support your claim. Therefore it has no room in the debate and is thrown out until you do.

I simply want you to prove that people are born gay. Show me the proof, show me the gay gene or whatever you want to call it. You made the claim, I want to see the proof.
Not that it matters, but I'm not gay - and said that pretty clearly in a number of posts. But that is irrelevant, because what you fail to understand is how scientific studies work. And until you understand that, it is futile to even attempt presenting you with any evidence. It's been done and rejected, so what else could I give you at this point?

Even without the studies, however, it's quite obvious to anyone with eyes that gay people exist naturally. Why would anyone choose to be part of such a hated group, when they're constantly judged by people like you? If it were that easy to change orientations, I'd think one good bullying incident would turn almost all of them straight. No?

I wish it really was like the movies & songs here, but in reality it's much like anywhere else.
Midwest boy in SoCal now.

In some respects it is. Others not.

I'm going to Santa Monica tomorrow. A lot of open pot smoking and PDAs by the dreaded homosexuals.

He'll do that after you prove to him the existence of one single "tallness" gene.

Wait, this was too funny to let slide.

You really believe that don't you?

Homosexuals aren't dreaded. I've lived, worked, and gained college degrees in Chicago. So obviously gays are more prominent there. But answer me this...if gays are on te same page as others than why do they get infested with diseases that straight people only get though IV drug use or bad blood transfusions? Is AIDS man made? If so, why did its creators target gays like Magic Johnson? Are they viewed as undesirable? Why?

If HiV/AIDs is not man made then why is Mother Nature targeting gays through their normal way of life?

OMG, this is one of the funniest posts yet! I live in Silicon Valley, not Hollywood, and have zero aspirations of "fame" - especially considering my parents moved me here as a child (from DC), due to my consultant father's job transfer. And what kind of "dreamer" becomes a librarian? Haha. You really do think it's all like the movies, don't you?

And I know quite a bit about those cities you mentioned... my adopted (gay/black) brother is from Cleveland, and I've been to all of the above. I was also born in DC, and go back east annually to visit family. I'm not some shallow Hollywood bimbo, just a normal person who happens to live in California right now. Thanks for the laugh, though.

I live in Silicon Valley... so how is that wrong? Note that I didn't say it was MADE here, if that is what you're laughing about in my statement.
