Homosexuality

[Answerprancer]

1) Is it nature's way of telling us to keep our population under control?
2) Nature or nurture ?
Discuss.

AYG ... so ... if you live in a place where "trying it" is not just accepted, but positively encouraged ... then more people will experiment, and discover that it suits them.

Which is where "nurture" partly comes in.

Makes me shudder . . . .

Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children............

< as Jack says >

[joggerjayne]

... although I'm not sure JTH was being entirely serious, dave.

=0)

[sunny-dave]

I think I sort of spotted the irony JJ :)

[joggerjayne]

Well, personally, I think everyone should try it before they form an opinion.

What about Gay adoptions then, Those poor little kids are going to be incessantly influenced into something that is evidently wrong but the law says it's OK if you have lots of money
What? Can you explain Katie please.

[sunny-dave]

Yeah - should be compulsory JJ ... as long as I don't get AoG in the prize draw :)

[joggerjayne]

Aww, come on Dave ... don't be so picky.

I mean, how hard can it be? (excuse the pun)

[Zeuhl]

<incessantly influenced into something>

what does that actually mean katie?

are you saying you would be gay now if you'd grown up with a gay couple?

[ChuckFickens]

Dave strikes me as more a joeluke type of guy.

[sunny-dave]

True - I heard you got Ann Widdecombe though ...

A study in Italy showed that the sisters of homosexual men tended to have significantly more children than those of heterosexual men.

This could suggest that gene combinations were involved and shows how an obviously a negative evolutionary trait for an individual can persist in a population.

[ladybirder]

I think you've got to grab love where you find it and don't knock it till you've tried it:-)

I thought the study said that the sisters of gay men had more femail children but I might be wrong..

[joggerjayne]

Ann Widdecombe?

Aww, crap.

(thinks: I'd need a snorkel)

I was very surprised to read that Elton John is worried now at the lack of a mother in his son's life ............... even he doubts then that his lifestyle is right?
