what about the gene they have found in sheep which they can inhibit to stop them being homosexual....

do you actually dislike gays or what?

Hmm, maybe even I'm getting out of date... Got a link?

Don't knock it 'til you tried it, I say.

If you go back and read my posts you'll see quite clearly that I stated that the "gay gene" is a complete myth. ALL genes have the potential to be "gay" by having an undesirable mutation and therefore triggering behaviour to avoid procreation.



You need to get a bit more up-to-date on your scientific knowledge. The idea of individual genes manipulating the whole and being the driving force of evolution itself (see The Selfish Gene) had not even been thought of by 1970 - even though it is now accepted science.

Science moves on. Even Darwin was incorrect in the detail of evolution. He was proved wrong by the father of modern genetics - Gregor Mendel. No matter how much you'd like to believe that homosexuality is a learned behaviour, you are wrong. You are of course free to believe that if you like, but you need to understand that such a belief is coming from a position of ignorance.

So it isn't a hereditary, and it isn't learned behaviour, what is it possession by Quintin Crisp?

Of course there is an element of leant behaviour in anything we do. You are guilty of swallowing the PC propoganda, we don't need to feed it to our children though, let them decide for themselves.

Science != PC propaganda

However, I do actually agree that we shouldn't "feed" it to our children. It should just there around them as a normal thing to be happening without focussing on it specifically.

The scientic conscensus (if there ever is consensus in science) is environmental factors. Providing gay literature to children will no doubt influence some, why do we need to influence children in this direction. Do we have a shortage of gays? Maybe we can issue some FTVs

[Burdock]

However, the point is that children of 4 or 5 do not need to be aware of homosexuality in the same way as they do not need to be aware of racism or any other sort of discrimination

Do you mean "do not need to be aware of homophobia"?

Providing gay literature to children

Please do me the courtesy of at least reading my posts. I don't agree with specifically gay literature being provided to children. I think children's literature should be able to include gay characters as a matter of course. This is not the same thing.

I think the gay school books will just confuse kids. Its a small minority of the population that are gay (although because of their positions in media industry they appear everywhere on our screens). Why not have a book about a man and a sheep?
