Quote from lindq:
Again, a complete crock.
By your reasoning (lack of), a good portion of the world's male children are popping out of the womb with limp wrists and an advanced fashion sense.
The personality affectations you think of as typically "gay" are learned from their culture, in the same way any culture passes along behaviors.
Quote from futurecurrents:
Well, given there are proven measurable physiological differences in gays, (brain hemisphere size, etc, see above post for the list) it should not be surprising that along with it there would be differences in behavior. For some of them. Don't women act differently then men ?

Biology guides behavior.
Religious conservatives hate facing this fact.
Is there also a cultural aspect to some it? Probably. But many gay young teenage boys are already "acting gay" before they could have possibly been exposed to the culture of it. My daughter has a friend like that. He likes hanging out with the girls and not for the reason most teenage boys do. His behavior already shows. And he has admitted being gay although he does not want to be. He wants to please his parents, and give them grandkids. He does not want to tell them he's gay. My brother never told my Dad. I actually told him not to as it would hurt him. I'm not sure I gave good advice. Had my Dad been more open-minded and educated and less judgmental about the matter, my brother could have told him.
Quote from Opulence:
I'd like to hear an explanation to a question I've been pondering over for some time.
What are people's real objections against homosexuality? Aside from the obvious people who reject it because of religious reasons (people don't think for themselves). Without saying "because it's in the bible," explain why do people adamantly oppose homosexuality?
I'm not gay or anything, but I frankly don't care if two men or women choose to get together...as long as they don't try to force their lifestyle on me.
On the issue on gay parenting screwing up kids, I'm sure you can check the prisons of America and see that the majority of them grew up with straight parents.
