Wasn't that what the subtext of the XMen movies were all about ? The 'finding a cure' for their affliction, as being an analogy for curing the gay?
Sure it was.
And like the movie, there is no ' cure '. Nor is there any final solution. Sheesh.
Humans. When will they ever learn?

That guy is really awful, talking about human beings like that and saying they should be put in a fenced space like that.
As to the physicality of homosexuality, I think its a mixed bag of factors, but it doesn't seem like most people want to annalyze it and calculate which factors do what.
I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.

Hmmm. In the movies, maybe. The X-Men as Stan Lee originally created them, no.
Or moving over to Captain America, Steve Rogers, not a wimp at all, but he was small
and weak enough to be a target for bullies. Stan is anti-bully.
Peter Parker, nerdy, shy, and awkward. Not going to be Homecoming King.
Then Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, full-on geniuses. Some folks are uncomfortable around
eggheads. However, in the late 60's, Mr. Spock made intelligence more popular, even
sexy.
What I got from Stan Lee (& Theodore Sturgeon & Harlan Ellison) is brown monkeys
don't like green monkeys; small-minded humans don't like anyone who is noticably
different. In school, non conformists are ridiculed, geniuses despised.
Stan's cure for the Oddballs was to let them become super heroes who were popular.
But as themselves, their secret identities, they still would suffer loneliness.

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.

Oh, I get that part. I really do. Mystique's comment " You know, people like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child. " , speaks volumes.
Where as I think Stan and Co. were speaking to the problems of conformity and acceptance , in a larger sense, of those who were 'different', somehow the issue of homosexuality has risen to take the focal point of all " others " who feel like outcasts. At least, that's the way I saw The Last Stand movie.
And as we've seen, not all outcasts play nicely or get along with other outcasts. It's an arbitrary grouping , made on their behalf, to be categorized as ' other ', and just because someone else decided that this group and that group are minorities, they should feel a common bond of rejection and antagonism and become allies against a common foe. Doesn't always work out like that.

Exactly why the illogical hatred of Obama exists, and why the Republicans play it up so hard. Humans have always rejected the "other"--that one is shared by animals and for the health of the species. We have no such excuse.

Kay Jamison's book "Touched With Fire" makes a great argument. Long before bipolarity was discovered as a disorder, bipolars--if talent and/or famous--were considered "eccentric". Those who were not, were considered crazy and locked away. Yet it was often bipolars who helped the gene pool make giant steps forward, without which either evolution would have taken longer or wouldn't have happened. Nonetheless, unless there was a reason for society to tolerate them, they were shunned.

No, there are plenty of REASONS ( not excuses ) that Republicans and others dislike Obama. It's his politics, chiefly, along w/ his arrogance and incompetence.
You don't want to acknowledge those, of course, because it disarms you and takes away from your ability to deal w/ very real and valid issues on which others differ w/ Obama.
It's not because his skin reflects less light than mine. Herman Cain is darker than Obama, and I like him just fine.
You'll have to do better. Much better.

I know - Obama's arrogance just kills me. How dare he come from nothing and graduate college by borrowing money to attend! The sheer arrogance of such a move! Why didn't he just live off his stock dividends or borrow money from his rich parents, like Mitt Romney did?
And incompetence - you betcha. Why, Obama was so incompetent that they made him head of the Harvard Law Review. Only a true incompetent could make a claim like that! It's not like his predecessor in the White House, who had his family money buy him a place in an Ivy League school, and then worked hard to maintain a C average and then skipped out on his military service!
That Obama is such an incompetent snob! He's making the really rich folks look bad, because he's so arrogant and dumb that he thinks a President should actually have to TRY once in a while! Rappy and every Republican know that you're just supposed to hand the office to the rich white guy and stay out of his way!

Obama borrowed the $ to attend college ? From who ?
And what were Obama's college transcripts? Why has he never released them ?
All Bush did was get elected as Gov of one of the largest states in the nation. Twice. Obama ? Hell, he was given the position of Harvard Law Review! Woo hoo!
Please...
Funny, you can't defend Barry with out taking petty pot shots at his predecessor. Probably because you know what I said about Obama is true. And that just pisses YOU off so much, you throw yet another temper tantrum.

What's wrong with somebody wanting to execute a gay resident of the White House?
Quote:
A radio talk-show host who also heads up a Minnesota-based Christian ministry states he intends to persist in fighting for justice in his defamation lawsuit against MSNBC and one of its lesbian liberal anchors.
Bradlee Dean is an ordained preacher and executive director of You Can Run but You Cannot Hide International, which is dedicated to restoring morality and values in the youths of America. He sued MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow last year, accusing her of editing and twisting his words to make it seem as though he supports the execution of homosexuals.
At one time Dean made a statement on the air criticizing Christians for not having the courage to stand against the radical homosexual lobby even though their lifestyle is directly in contradiction to the holy Bible which Christians claim to be their final authority in all matters of faith and practice and the written word of God.
In an attempt to make a point, Dean noted that Muslims take their sincerely held beliefs more seriously than Christians through their enforcement of sharia law. When he made the statement at no time did he condone the Muslim practice of executing homosexuals.
This did not stop Maddow who edited the statements and attemptted to convince people that Dean was calling for the public execution of homosexuals.
“’She took one minute out of one portion of my radio show in the first report. She omitted one portion, and then … she went to different radio shows and she clipped them in like it was the same radio program,’ Dean explains.”
He went on to say Maddow’s selective editing is similar to what NBC did when they invalid a 911 call to convince people that George Zimmerman was a racist.
Maddow countered Dean’s suit by filing a motion to dismiss the case.
“They’ve endangered my life, my ministry’s life, and if they can do it to me, which they’re not going to do to me, they’ll do this to anybody that lets them get away with it,” he warns. “That’s the bottom line right there; that’s the problem. We’re not going to let them get away with it. And if people keep letting them do this, well, you’re only encouraging them to continue on to do this.”

Now, it’s about starting the world. I sent an email to President Obama saying, ‘You are a fucking traitor,’ using those words… ‘You’re a traitor, you allowed foreign boots on our soil telling our military — in this case the coastguard – what they can and could not do, and telling us, the citizens of the United States, what we could or could not do’.”

"If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year. You're laughing. Why are you laughing? That's not funny. I'm as serious as a heart attack. We need to ride into the battlefield and chop their heads off in November. If the coyote's in your living room, pissing on your couch, it's not the coyote's fault. It's your fault for not shooting him. Any questions?"
