Identical twin studies prove homosexuality is not genetic

Responding to him can be a difficult task sometimes.

I agree. People should adopt more. This is something I am thinking about.

But if everyone was to make that choice, there would be nobody to adopt.

I don't invalidate your point, but it would do the world a world of good if some people considered adopting instead of reproducing. There are so many unwanted persons out there, whose life's sanctity ended the moment they came out of the womb.

This is true. Adoption would also be a choice too.

Again, nothing to do with homosexuality.

Oh yeah... We've gone off in another direction here..

Of course, it's not likely that the human race will go extinct due to everyone becoming gay.

My wife and I will eventually have a child, likely . Just not while we live in Texas because same sex custody laws are seriously messed up. Honestly, discrimination is probably the largest factor in same sex couples not reproducing, not same sex relationships.

We'll blow ourselves to smithereens long before that...

Incidentally, my younger brother who's gay has two kids. Being gay and being sterile are completely unrelated.

Also true.

No need to be rude ;-)

Who me?

A choice that if everyone decided to not choose we would be extinct. Unless you think cloning is the solution.

Why would anyone make a choice to be gay and put up with all the BS that comes with it, especially for men. You make it sound like some guy wakes up one day and says to himself, I think I will be gay.

I have known people that from a very very early age, we knew they were going to be gay. Hardly a choice.

if someone wants to soak corks then they should be allowed to do so.

Indeed. I have chosen so far not to reproduce, thoughtfully sparing the world from my offspring.

Thank you for your (non)contribution to a stable society.

People choose whatever they want to choose. Like some choose to be gothic, choose to be emo, choose to be ghetto. People make choices they feel like is suitable to them regardless of what others think.

People choose to marry outside of their race knowing the ####### they will get if they live in the South. People choose a religion even though they know they will be stereotyped for the rest of their life. People can make choices.

Being gay is not like: being a goth, being emo, being "ghetto," falling in love with someone of another race, electing to be a Pentecostalist.

Being gay is like: being a heterosexual, resembling your parents, being born with a marker for breast cancer.

For those who are genetically gay, yes.

For those who choose to be gay, no.
