It ain't hereditary.

I call bullshit on this. There are short folks who have tall parents, but you wouldn't say that isn't hereditary. There are also plenty of gay men who have sired children in an attempt to appear "normal" to society, and there are lesbians who have gotten pregnant. It is hereditary, it does tend to run in families, and you don't have to be gay yourself to have a gay child. Then, there's the bell curve to consider; bisexual people have happily conceived children with opposite-sex partners, and those children could very well inherit the same sexuality, but ultimately end up with someone of the same sex. There's a lot of variation to consider, but that doesn't change the fact that sexuality is just as hereditary as everything else.


Facts are stubborn things.

I'm wrong an awful lot, and I admit it. So far, no one has ever said I'm LYING. So yeah, I think there is some difference between being wrong in casual conversation and lying.

Oonj: "It ain't hereditary."
I thought about changing that line, but I liked it, even inaccurate.
My original line was "most gays have heterosexual parents."

Yes, I believe gays are born, not made. I've argued the point a few times.

So correcting myself: "If they put all the gay men in one concentration camp, &
all the lesbians in another, and if, as a result, the lesbians bear no children,
Worley is still wrong, still a twit.

There is nothing to prevent heterosexual couples from producing gay kids just as
they have always done. Gays would still be born.

Therefore, after they discover the gay gene(s), it makes more sense to imprison
all the people who carry that gene, although I personally would give the post
menopausal women a pass. Those who didn't want to be imprisoned could volunteer
for sterilization. [sarcasm intended]




. . .I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. ~Charles R Swindoll

If I have to react to others all the time, then they own my mind more than I do.
If I let others tell me how to feel, I lose my ability to choose happiness.
If I let others tell me who I am, I've vacated self-definition.
Finally, I realized how foolish I was to give others such power over me.
