Nope..still doesn't work out, because you're ignoring the laws of determination and probability.

This is how it would work - if you have 100 couples, each of which produced 2 children each, that would be 200 kids.

Now say that out of those 200, 14 were gay, you would still have 186 straight people who would (for the sake of simplicity) have two kids each. That would be 372 kids, of which (say) another 26 (approx 7%) would be gay. That would be a total of 40.

As each generation of straight couples produce offspring, the number of gay children would grow. There is no mechanism for repairing the 'faulty' genetic code.

Oh, and guess what? There are no figures to support the asertion that a gay man or woman who produces a child has any more change of having a gay kid than a straight man or woman.

flobbergob, that isn't pertinence it is arrogance.

Well why didn't you make it easy for us and just give your thread the title that you want us to talk about.

I suggest:

"Is Anal Sex Disgusting'

Then you can enjoy talking about it for the rest of the day.

If you believe something based on limited or no knowledge of a person, then it's homophobia/prejudice.

None of us know a jot about the gay couple. Your opinion is based solely on the fact that they're gay.

We don't know if they are in a sexual relationship. You don't know whether they are swingers, or boring librarian who wear tweed jackets.

We don't know their class, income, politics etc.

So it becomes prejudice when you judge someone based on one aspect of their existance, without recourse to knowing anything else about them.

Prejudice isn't necessarily a bad thing - we all prejudge people. But it becomes dangerous when you use prejudice to treat someone as 'less than' for no real reason.

Your post of 14.55 just caused me to laugh a mouthful of coffee over my keyboard.

Can you tell me where I should send the bill for repair?

[R1Geezer]

I'm making no arithmetical point SP. let me spell it out.

Normal couple produces Gay child, gay child lives a standard life without reproducing. Tada!

Gay kids are produced all the time, yes, and they usually do not propagate.

It's all part of the genetic trial and error that is Natural selection.

Take care when discussing mature topics. Keep in mind that under 18�s view and contribute to the website. Posts that are sexually explicit will be removed.

[LoftyLottie2]

Exactly.

[sp1814]

flobbergob

It's got to be said...you do seem a little hung up about the whole anal sex thing.

As we don't know what these two fellas get up to, and it's pretty much a side issue, why don't we just leave it aside?

Just as suggestion.

[LoftyLottie2]

That 'Exactly' was for SP's post at 14.56.

thanks4nowt: The only person on here funnily enough who has been explicit is flobbergob who brought the subject of **** sex up. I put the stars in myself.

First you say I am entitled to my own opinion, and then you state "then I'm afraid your opinion should not have a voice! Why should your views count"?

There are lots of things that cause me no harm, but I have every right to voice my opinion on them, also my views should count even if some don't agree with them, this is what debating is all about in a free country.

What I do disagree with is the fact that some demand that you should find nothing wrong with their life style, and that you are somewhat bigoted if you do not agree with them.

If this was the case there are many on this site that I could hang this label on.

GAY couples CAn and often ARE good parents. I have friends who have been in gay relationship for 13 years. Together they have raised "their" daughter (one of the women had a child during a previously heterosexual relationship). The daughter is NOW a well adjusted 19 year old who loves her biological mum and her mums partner of 13 years....but....on a negative...she has recently admitted that her teenage years were fraut with teasing by her peers....and this made her very unhappy at the time. :-(

so alls well that ends well but it was tough in the in between years for the daughter.

[flobbergob]

Thanks for the lecture sp, but I have made my mind up about many aspects of human life and society, and that includes homosexuality. My opinion is based on what I know about it (cue for you to say "not enough" and for me to respond "quite enough thanks")

I disapprove, simple. I strongly disapprove of placing small vulnerable children within a homosexual couple, I do not need to know all the facts of the case, it is a matter of morality and principle. They may be the sweetest two men you could hope to meet - but not to "parent" a child.

The person who started the thread should give out stars

[LoftyLottie2]

SP. Sorry about your keyboard!!

[craft1948]

I'm not homophobic (or I don't think I am) but I am opposed to gay adoptions or even surrogacy. They should have to go through the hell of conception - I did!!

[sp1814]

R1Geezer

Yes. I see your point.

So if there are 400,000 gay men and women in the UK today, there will be roughly the same amount in 100 years.

And if there really is a genetic code (and this hasn't actually been proven yet - it's currently popular to assume that people are 'born gay'), the code will always exist.

[flobbergob]

Stars. Can't be ar$ed.
