It would be like going to a gay pride parade, sampling 1000 people and coming up with a very high percentage, then publishing a book stating that that percentage of the population is gay.

It may be 10% or a bit higher in some cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Atlanta, but it is far less than that nationally. More like 2-4% at the most. It could also be that 10% of the population has some homosexual tendancies (ever been to a junior high school and watch the way the boys act)? Most of these boys become heterosexual adults however. Again, only 2-4% are exclusively homosexual.

If 10% of the population were really gay, we would see one of two things. The major cities would be really really gay (25%+) to balance out the rural areas....or there would be more of a gay presence in rural areas of the Bible belt, which there is virtually none now.
Once again a thread based on your idiotic opinion with no supporting facts or evidence to back it up. You're boring me.

So you presume to know everything about the complexities of the human brain and the "purpose of all life"? Wow. Not even the most brilliant scientists understand those things.

Even if homosexuality is an aberration, what do you mean by "it should not be encouraged"? It sounds like you believe we consciously choose our sexual orientation.

I'm saddened that an EMT has such an offensive, ignorant opinion on this subject.

HAHAHAH, nice attempt to form a coherent post but buddy, believe me when I say this, you fail horribly. lmao

Thank you, doctor. I'm sure you've published numerous studies to prove your point. No need to question you.

Call it the study of one, and if it becomes public, it will show just how homosexuality develops.

eh? god you people seriously give me a headache. 1%? Buddy there are a whole lot of "straight" guys that have come on to me time and time again. I guess they still classify as straight in your book though eh?

I'm an EMT. When I have a patient, the "default setting" is that they should be breathing. When they aren't breathing, I need to find out why and fix it. It's not an "alternate" way of living...something's wrong and it needs to be fixed. I don't need to explain why and how someone should breath...they should just be breathing. But if they're NOT breathing, I do need to find the definitive cause...something lodged in airway is different from trauma or COPD or whatever else.

In other words, it's the aberration that needs to be defined, not the default.
Dude, ima nurse. Please don't try to give any examples from a healthcare like nature to try to add validity to an extremely dumb line of reasoning. Do I seriously need to go down the list of why what you just said was dumb?

Sometimes Nurses overlook things that would be obvious even to those without medical training.
