For Perg, the "Gay" gene.

She didn't say that. She merely suggested that such a trait might be undesirable enough to some to prompt an abortion.

No, it was more than a suggestion. It was certainty.

then there will be parents who will choose to abort

People abort when Down Syndrome is detected because of a fear of a host of complications and perhaps an inability to deal with them. I did a quick search and turned up this blog

Newman, who declined to name her doctor, acknowledges that caring for her 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Kairi, has been a struggle. The girl has had open-heart surgery, arthritis and slow cognitive development.

Some parents, faces with the certainty of high medical bills for the rest of their lives may choose to abort a fetus. Sigh was saying that some parents would do the same for a baby that is normal except for the fact that the baby is gay. She made the equivalence.

Then your argument is that the only test for worth, utility, completeness, adequacy and/or perfection is whether a gay man decides to have a baby with a willing woman via IVF?

And therefore that straight folks who are barren are worthless, useless, incomplete, inadequate, and imperfect?

I have a married couple of gay friends who share a baby with a lesbian couple. Are they defective somehow? If so, how?

Vette, any thoughts?

You guys realize that the idea of identifying these genes is not abort the babies that have them but to modify the genes themselves.

Yes. You didn't read what I said. I didn't advance any of these scenarios.

To be clear, I do think homosexual behavior is disgusting, unhealthy, aberrant, abnormal behavior, and I don't wish to subscribe to it, promote it, or subsidize it in any way. I will oppose it in any lawful manner. Is that clear enough for you?

If that makes me a bigot in your mind, than make the most of it.

We already knew all those things about you, Chevette. You're a frightened old man, scared of anything that is different from yourself. A truly sad way to live out the last days of your life.

Yes, you did. You called it a defect, and then posted a definition of the term. I applied your standard for the term to various scenarios that show how your standard plays out.

Yes, that's very clear, and explains why you cling to the notion that there's no genetic basis for homosexuality. I wonder though; if definitive proof came out tomorrow that there was indeed a genetic reason for homosexuality, would you change your stance? Would you continue to oppose it, knowing that the homosexual person had no more control over it than, say, people with blue eyes have over their eye color? You see how you may be crossing into white sheet territory here?

In what way is it "unhealthy?" Your other terms are opinions, and I won't argue those with you.

Does that apply to all homosexuals (meaning men and woman) or just the men that you're afraid will want to fuck you?

What do you mean when you say you will oppose sexual relations between two consenting adults "in any lawful manner"?

That's a good question, and I can't believe I missed it. I'll wait to see this self-identified libertarian answer that one.

Perg, why ask and why care? Just kill all the gays like Democrats and Muslims.

Give me a moment. brb

 

[Peregrinator]

I should have clarified, I have no problem with what consenting adults do in private.

Then what is your real stance? Is it just that gays don't deserve equal rights under the law? I really don't see your position. Or rather, I see it, but it seems to be lacking any internal logic. Are you just antipathetic and reacting emotionally?

Mission control did not tell the crew they were listening in. Fapping ensued.
