    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

      I don't necessarily equate being gay with "taking it up the arse" though.

        Well duh -- not all gay men are bottoms.

          So will parents be able to choose their child's sexual preference before birth?
          Heck, if they can trace the gene, why don't they abort their gay children?

              That really was tacky.

                That was a vicious attack.

                  Being tacky in Texas can get you jacked.
                  I guess it's a relative term.

                        Hey -- you know, I was thinking along the same lines -- that you seem to be the master of the art of understatement.

                          OTOH gay "couples" might choose to give the little fetal tad a teenie tiny dose of female hormones to ensure that their little man is going to turn out to be a Bruce-y, or if it's a little lady tad perhaps a dropper full of testosterone would help on the way to become another Ellen Degeneratus.

                            Hardly "Herr Doktor Strangelove." What is the deal with the belief that gays/lesbians what to recruit any and all they come in contact with?!

                            If I ever adopt a child, I know for a fact that I would not what my child to go through the same hell-on-earth that I had to go through with first accepting myself and being accepted by society as a whole (to this day I'm still fighting the later).

                              Perhaps some people would rather not risk their children growing up with the problems of intersex conditions- the only woman I know who had too high a level of testosterone present pre-birth, grew up with a radically foreshortened uterus, no eggs and no possibility of ever being a parent. Other than that, she's happily heterosexual....

                              And perhaps some of us might be happy to see our children, or our sister's and brother's children, growing up heterosexual and accepting their gay parents and uncles and aunts as equal and normal- because let's face it, the ranks of rational unprejudiced heterosexuals certainly need to be swelled.

                              Caligastia- you ducked the question implicit in my comment, so let's make it clearer- why would anyone not want to 'choose' homosexuality?

                                You guys are just saying that because you know that if you admitted otherwise the townspeople would be lighting up their torches and gathering around your place, and I don't mean for a marshmallow roast. Everyone wants the immorality of passing on a little themselves.
