Funny videos from the religious folks on there. One i saw a week or so ago who said that if people are 'born' gay we should encourage them to come out, as they wont breed naturally like they were 'forced' to in order to keep their sexuality secret for the last several thousand years. Without this, supposedly gays will die out as they never have to 'pretend' to be straight.

I guess if you believe being gay is inherited, that makes sense. Sort of.

Fark mentioned this on Monday with the following comment:
"Christian" pastor calls for gays to be imprisoned in an electrified pen until they die.
A Taliban spokesman commented: "Seriously? Don't you think that's a bit over-the-top?"

Just about sums it up for me.

Sorry, think there may be some confusions . . . . . .it is the religious loons who have a mental illness and need therapy, not the GLBT's, who on the whole, get on with their lives and don't make daft demands of others

It is amazing how often people who do not hold the same beliefs take things out of context. This is a perfect example. Whilst the pastor said they should be put behind an electric fence until they Ll die, he didn't actually mean it. What he means was... Er... Ahem... It is wrong... Erm...

The same old claptrap by the fundamentals and as usual they cannot seem to rap fathom, or explain why they think these things apart from it being in the book.

Pathetic.

Reminds me of Crazy Tracey.

Could we not put mentalist religious nutcases in a prison until they die out?

I find it interesting that we only aver talk about certain absolutes in relation to gay men/women. There are many bi-sexual people in the world who often are forgotten or not recognised in the "gay v straight" argument.

In many cases humans have sex for pleasure....we like it...and we choose who we have with, but I don't believe we "control" which gender we are attracted to. Some people are 100% straight, some 100% gay, but there's also a huge middle ground where men and women have sex with both genders, which gives rise to the question of "how"??

If there is a gay gene then is there a straight one? Is there a bi-sexual gene? Or if you have straight and gay genes then are you bi??

In reality there is no "gay gene" at all its a claptrap term made up by those that think gayness can be cured, like its some form of disease...there is one male chromosome, the "X" chromosome, and some differences in the billions of pieces of information the chromosomes carry can make the difference between gay and straight.

There are studies that conclude there are other subtle differences in the female defining "Y" chromosome, others point to differences in certain chemical balances within the brains of straight and gay and that the size and operation of certain areas of the brain also differ. But as all these reports show, there is not one definite reason (atm) why one person gay and his brother is straight.

But causality due to nurture really is a pretty dead end. Homosexuality has been in the natural world long before the Christian God was created and in animals that have no idea what "homosexuality" means, have access to a bible or seen youtube. The difference between us and the animals is that they don't see it as abnormal, marginalise it, try and find the reasons for it or try to cure it, they just get along living their own lives. Shame many humans cant.

The irony of this is that upto very recently, it took straight couples to make gay babies, so they only have themselves to blame!!



*edited for some pretty poor grammar.

Indeed. I have long believed that sexuality is a scale or slider, with "straight" at one end and "gay" at the other, and despite the protestations of many, very few people are right on the stoppers of either end.

Somewhat more controversially, I'd say the same for gender identity too.

Classic. Religious person in not knowing a fking thing about their religion shocker.

X-Y, easy to forget, my uni days were a LONG time ago!!! Financial services doesnt have much call for it these days ;-)

Do remember t-shorts with "X28 - thanks for the genes mom" in years gone by
