I'm not even a homosexual.<br /><br />I'm just a male who prefers company of other males, a male who feels "Love" (whatever that is, but we'll leave that one for later...heehee) I am a male who only wishes to have physical contact of a sexual nature with other males.<br />Full stop.<br /><br />Sorry that I've steered off the subject, but labels can be damaging.<br /><br />Rant over.GreginAdelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700327727868020300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-43051285258568663182012-02-01T07:31:57.084-05:002012-02-01T07:31:57.084-05:00Thanks Richard.

Today she emailed me about this NYT article and I have spent the better part of the day responding to her emails about the findings of current research in this area. <br /><br />Equally as important as the question of whether there is a genetic origin of homosexuality, however, is Bruni's observation that to some people it won't make a difference. Even if there is utterly convincing scientific proof that we are who we are because of genes or hormonal influences in the womb, some people will still hate queers. And, unfortunately, there's no medicine to cure that.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-65113044678138353962012-01-30T16:02:34.835-05:002012-01-30T16:02:34.835-05:00Born this way?!

Clearly she's bisexual, chooses to call herself gay because she's in a full-time same sex relationship. Obviously she's correct in saying that she chose to be gay given the way she uses the word. Even she acknowledges that it's not necessarily a choice for other gay people.<br /><br />With regard to Christie, he's not being a political wimp, he's being a bigot, just as Schwarzenegger was when he vetoed a marriage equality bill in California. As one of the New Jersey legislators properly observed, you don't put fundamental human rights up for a vote. I somehow doubt that Christie would veto a bill that provided that Roman Catholics should have the same marriage rights as other citizens of the state if the current laws restricted those marriage rights.gphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15201026571725646823noreply@blogger.com
