Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
[ QUOTE ]
What exactly are you saying? [/ QUOTE ] Nature vs. Nurture. A child's brain changes rapidly. Believe it or not, the way you raise a child will have significant influence on not only the childs sexuality but behavior, intelligence, etc. Children that learn languages before the age of 12 (I think that's the right number) have no problems with pronunciation. This is due to the fact that neurons are rapidly linking and crosslinking to adapt to the childs environment. As you get older this slows down but still continues. Even something as simple as the colors of the ceiling above a childs cradle can have a significant impact on a childs developing brain. All of this is beyond debate. From what I know about brain chemistry, I have no doubt that it is possible to raise a child in an environment that has such a pronounced impact on a child that he/she ends up being gay, while if that same child was raised in a different, environment it would end up straight. I will even go as far to say this can happen to a statistically significant portion of the general population. I will not comment on what proportion it does happen to. [ QUOTE ] homosexuality is not a dysfunction. [/ QUOTE ] Again from a purely scientific (genetics, darwinism, evolution, etc.) point of view it is a dysfunction. That of course is unless if you consider homosexuality to be similar to apoptosis, then it is a safety mechanism. But I do not think that is the case.

Geez communication breakdown.
Procreation, genetic line, evolution, darwinism, heredity, etc. Look at all those words and try to figure out what i mean by dysfunction.

LOL, dysfunction? Name 1 way in which gay and straight people differ other than sexual preference. Ok, now tell me if people who prefer interracial sex are dysfunctional from a PURELY SCIENTIFIC POINT OF VIEW.

No, you're missing the point.
I didn't say, name something that a straight couple can do that a gay couple can't.

[/ QUOTE ] No, from a purely scientific point of view, interracial sex is more advantageous than noninterracial sex because it increases the gene pool and genetic diversity. Therefore it increases the chance of survival of the species. Do not let your emotions block your ability to think logically.
