For the homosexuals:

[EyesOfNight]

This came from a conversation with Ming. If scientists were to discover a gene that determines sexual preference, and they then discovered a way to make it so that they could reverse the disorder that causes homosexuality, would you choose to remain homosexual or would you choose to become heterosexual?

[Ming]

Just to clarify, my opinion was that I don't think many would want to "change"

And, I don't agree that it is a "disorder"

[EyesOfNight]

My opinion that it is a disorder, not a preference and it is determined by genes. Genes control everything we do, even how we die. I don't think it's too far fetched to say there is a gene that controls sexual orientation. I personally think most homosexuals would choose to be hetero given the option.

Hilariously ill-informed, and thus quite unintentionally funny.

I don't see a vote yet from you.

I'm with Ming on this. Slap me, I know.
Eyes' hypothesis assumes the gene to be a mistake in creation.
I'm not so bold as to ever even think such.

[EyesOfNight]

Are you trying to say it was intentionally made that way by god?

[SlowwHand]

I'm saying I don't think it's a mistake, so I guess that's what I'm saying.

[Ming]

Some might argue it's a disorder, while others would say it might just be a prefernce. I think the question EoN is asking is, if you could change, would you?

I wasn't aware it was compulsory.

The fact that you consider sexuality a 'disorder' and choose to bring the supernatural into it, tells me quite enough, thanks.

I read somewhere that some lesbian girl once got a heart transplant, and all the sudden she became straight and a vegetarian


Not sure if I believe that, but if that is the truth then it shouldn't be impossible to find a "cure" for homosexuality

[SlowwHand]

That's dumb.

If that's true she should have sued the doctors. Who wants to be a vegetarian?

And Molly's slap shot goes into the goal for a WIN.

I'd love to correct your staggeringly simplistic and incorrect ideas about genetics and biochemistry but I've got soufflés in the oven.
