Anyway I haven't done A LOT of research on the subject...that is true.

I'm not against gays...I'm simply against gay people starting families together. That's the bottom line.
You may be against it but I am sure the child without a home could careless as long as they are placed with a loving family. With all the research you have done have you ever seen any documentaries with gay parents and their kids?

Actually it is quite common for transsexuals to change their sexual orientation when they begin hormone treatment. Not saying most or all but I am saying it isn't rare.

Yeah, I agree. It's looking more and more like sexual orientation is determined by hormonal levels in the womb.

It's only when a baby is still in the womb because hormonal levels affect how the brain develops. Once it's developed, that's it. It's a done deal.

Giving hormone shots to try to change an adult's sexual orientation has been tried. If anything - at least with gay men - it increases their sexual appetites for gay sex, it doesn't change who they're attracted to.

I'm interested in this actually. According to nitokenshi, it actually can change their sexual orientation. I'm wondering which one of you is correct?

I should also mention my general beliefs against homosexuality and gay marriage are different. I'm against homosexuality in general...but I'm also against fornication, adultery, cohabitation, etc. (I specifically mentioned I am not proud of some of my own behavior)

I, however, do NOT think those should be legislated. Nor do I think homosexuality should be legislated, other than in the context of gay marriage and gay adoption.

Insults -- that is all you got?

I say again - make up your own thread (it is very easy to do) about the benefits of polygamy and back it up with studies from nonbiased sources.

If you cannot do that, then your only purpose in this thread is to muddy the waters.

Not that many, but some gay people do- I'm a perfect example. Why is it of concern to you? Would you support a far-right agenday to remove children from their homes if their parents are gay?

I believe if you give testosterone to a teenage boy, he'll be alone in the bathroom the rest of the day

No. There's no way I would EVER consider removing children from homes if they were already there. Anything I'd want would be to keep them from being put there in the future....but I wouldn't take them out if they were there already.
