You were using it as one of the reasons you hate homosexuality. littlepea doesn't seem against it, as long as it is within a loving relationship and we can find ways to reduce AIDS in general so that gay men (and people who enjoy an active sexual lifestyle in general) don't have to worry about it.i can tolerate other people being gay, but i'd never take part in any sexual activities involving me touching another man in that way ... *shudder* ... and i'd feel uncomfortable if my gay friend started acting really camp or talked about his intimate affairs with me. i know a lesbian, though, and she's cool cos she basically acts like a bloke and drinks beer and watches football and stuff
what i said about aids - if no men had promiscuous gay sex then aids wouldn't be such a problem - only leads to making homosexuality illegal in the same way that we should make cars illegal to save lives. it might be true but that doesn't make it realistic.

Well your opinion means nothing to me. You say I'm a moron because I came up with an opinion which has been used by racists in the so-called land of the free. You see unlike the US of A I come from a place where it never ever mattered what colour you were when you got married, interracial marriage was never illegal.As for gay parents making some of their children gay (not all of them), you cant just dismiss it. Unless you can show me some sort of study that follows up people who were adopted into gay families, that shows that they are all pretty much straight. I do not believe such a study has been done but I could be wrong.
Have you studied Psychology before? Do you know that children (especially when they are young) learn from their parental figures. Theres this process called imprinting. Lorenz (1932) did a experiment when several ducklings hatched from their eggs they first saw Lorenz (they never saw their mother), he fed them and looked after them. Eventually when they could walk they would follow him around everywhere. They saw him as their mother.
Now imagine if you were the same sex as your gay homosexual parents is it really a long shot to say that this child could turn out gay?
cenk, you are generally very disrespectful and make absurd proclamations at the drop of a hat. if you would just be a bit less controversial then we'd all get along better. of course, if you're not doing it intentionally then i guess you really are a moron ...
speaking off the top of my head, if people are born gay, then being brought up by gay parents will show them that it's ok to feel that way whereas being brought up by straight parents might show them that they are abnormal and lead to low self-esteem and depression etc. it would be wrong to think that gay parents will necessarily be better than straight parents, however, as there will still be bad gay parents too and they might give the child the wrong impression (intentionally or not). perhaps gay parents would be better at bringing up gay children whereas straight parents would be better at bringing up straight children? but that would be impossible to predict ...
