Study: Gay parents more likely to have gay kids

[exceeder]

Just a thought but it might also be possible that lgbt parents are generally more accepting of their children being open about their own sexualities. On the whole, I think children of lgbt parents would feel more comfortable being honest with their sexuality then SOME children of SOME heterosexual parents who may potentially be homophobic and unnaccepting to the possibility they might have lgbt children. Just my thoughts though, not saying this is necessarily the case for this study.

You won't ever convince the true naturalists and traditionalists that it is acceptable and conducive to a healthy society.

Yet another absurd study from the left. Besides, there is no scientific proof that homosexuality is a genetic birth defect. Personally I believe early environmental exposures can mold the mind of a young infant. The 'imprint theory' is the most logical.

And for those of you that are quick to counter that ''why then does homosexuality exist in the animal kingdom? The truth is that most animals are innately bisexual and if their primal needs are not being met by willing females(vice-versa), then they go for the closest alternative.

This is too blank slatist (Marxist) in emphasis, I think. You might as well give into the "intelligence is learned from an early age more so than it is a genetic thing" with that line of thinking.

I'd say there is a genetic predisposition to it but sexual norms (i.e. normalization) within our culture regarding homosexuality have varying effects on different individuals. It's quite likely the permissive attitudes of this century turn people who'd never otherwise consider having a same sex relationship under a more guarded culture into being "open" (a synonym for 'nondiscerning' with complete positive connotations these days) about it. Afterall, in some sub-cultures, it seems effeminite, hipster men who can convince people they are bi have street cred. They idolize people like Lou Reed and David Bowie (men who largely seem like heterosexuals (imo) based on 99% of their dating patterns aside from having shock sex with men to make some image about themselves).

Likewise, it's also possible that this current permissiveness STOPS people with homosexual-leanings who may actually to be able to overcome their urges and rechannel them into a more optimal relationship from trying to overcome this predisposition. In a more sexually restrained society, it's very likely many of the people who fall into this culture of gayness, so to speak, would feel pressure to try to find fulfillment through traditional (and arguably more healthy) avenues.

LOL, what's specifically Marxist about the tabula rasa? I mean, there's a vague connection through the general chain of liberal thought, since it was espoused by Locke and Hobbes, but its roots go all the way back to Aristotle.

I'll just never forgive what they're doing nowadays, disrupting the natural behaviour of our next youth by accepting the homosexual custody. Homosexuality is a disease...and they're just spreading it all over. So disgusting. So immoral.

I got the gay vaccine so I am safe. Terrible disease.

Sorry, Liia, but's that's perhaps the most elemental mistake usually made by people who dislike gays (which you have every right to do, if you're that way inclined): claiming that homosexuality is both a disease, and an immoral sin or crime. But it cannot be both those things; diseases have no morality, and immorality on the other hand requires volition.

Homosexuality is a very marginal phenomenon. Who benefits from attempting to mainstream it, using it as tool to attack tradtion, institutions, custom?

I'm not calling the gays immoral, I'm calling the society and the laws who give custody of those children for homosexual persons.
