Gays and lesbians DON'T REPRODUCE (THANK GOD!)
If it was inherited, HOW COME they were born at all? They HAD TO COME from the union between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN; when 2 homosexuals meet, we must remember that one notch up the line, FOUR ADULTS fell for the opposite sex!

So lesbians aren't able to become pregnant? That's news to me. There are plenty of gay couples with children, adopted or otherwise.
A harlequin fetus has a very low chace of survival and even lower chance of reproduction, yet I'm pretty sure they don't choose to have a horrible, life threatening, skin condition.
So to inherit a trait, you have to be born to people who have that trait? Hmm. Neither of my parents and none of my grandparents are albinos. Wonder how I became an albino then? I don't recall choosing to be one.
The problem with today's society is that we have too much knowledge and people only remember parts of everything.
Well, people with hemophilia and some types of cancers which develop and kill are inherited as well. What´s the point, if these people, obviously, can´t reproduce?
Uh-huh. And throughout our 6,000 years of recorded history, not one single homosexual person gave in to societal pressure, married a person of the opposite gender, and had children. Nuh-uh. Not even Oscar Wilde.
Do you want to know the scariest thing of all about fundies? They could be anywhere- even in your own home! Let me slow down here as to not sound crazy...
Not every trait is inherited in that utterly simple way. If your dog has a litter of puppies, there may be only one white pup, but that white coloring WAS inherited, even though neither parent nor any sibling has similar coloring.
ApostateAbe, the "logic" is NOT good -- fundamentally or otherwise. The poster claims outright (in ALL CAPS yet) that gays do not reproduce. He states it as a bald assertion, in absolute contradiction of known fact (i.e., that many confirmed homosexuals have children).
Despard: I knew I wasn't right, but I just couldn't for the life of me remember what the correct term was. Thanks.

<< Well, don't forget, you have homosexuals who realize "after-the-fact" that they're in reality gay. >>

Yeah, and the sky's blue. What's your point? No one is demanding that everyone turn homosexual, except the straw man you and your ilk keep setting on fire.
@ApostateAbeI think this is fundamentally good logic. If a trait makes you much less likely to reproduce, then it is unlikely that you inherited the trait from a long line of ancestors.
Tell that to people with cystic fibrosis. Or sickle-cell anemia. Or a few dozen other deadly genetic disorders.
If it were a dominant gene, inheriting it would be difficult, and it would almost have to be a mutation that occurred during development or in the sperm or egg before fertilization. Recessive genes, on the other hand, don't really matter unless you get two of them.
Yes, because the minute you come out of the closet your ovaries and sperm sacs shrivel and die. /sarcasm
This is enough to turn a fundie into a tree hugging liberal.http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=scienceNews&storyID=2006-09-07T182502Z_01_N07410891_RTRUKOC_0_US-ENVIRONMENT-FISH-SEX.xml&WTmodLoc=Home-C5-scienceNews-2

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The discovery of intersex fish -- males with some female characteristics, including some carrying
eggs -- in Washington's Potomac River is raising concerns about pollution from chemicals that can affect hormones.
A preliminary investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey found a high incidence of intersex among smallmouth bass in the
South Branch of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, both near Washington.
"We ended up identifying a problem that is typical of endocrine disruption, that is, seeing eggs in the testes of sexually
mature fish," Chris Ottinger, an immunologist at the Geological Survey's National Fish Health Research Laboratory, said on
Thursday. "It was something that warranted further investigation."
These so-called endocrine disrupting chemicals are used widely in industry and in consumer products including
pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumes, plastics and even materials used to keep barnacles from clinging to boat bottoms.
Theo Colburn, an environmental health analyst who has specialized in studying the effects of endocrine disruptors, said they
work during gestation, and have been linked to feminization of male fish in the Great Lakes, smaller penises in alligators and
polar bears, and hermaphroditic whales -- with genitalia of both sexes -- in the St. Lawrence River.
SAFE TO DRINK
Laboratory studies have shown developmental effects from very low doses of hormone disruptors, but it would be
technically impossible at present to remove such low concentrations of these compounds from drinking water, Colburn said
by telephone from her office in Colorado.
The manager of the water utility that covers a large swath of the Washington area stressed that drinking water is safe.
"As water plant manager, what I know is that there is no evidence pointing to any concentrations of these substances in the
water that are having human effects," said Thomas Jacobus, manager of the Washington Aqueduct. "The water is safe to
drink."
Jacobus said the water was tested for some endocrine disrupting chemicals, but noted that there are potentially 20,000 of
these compounds in existence.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement that the exact amounts of these chemicals, especially at
extremely low doses, in the environment are difficult to determine.
"Little is known about the potential harm posed by trace amounts of PPCPs (pharmaceuticals and personal care products) in
drinking water," the agency said in a statement. "Current water treatment processes may remove some PPCPs, but more
research is needed to determine how efficiently these compounds are removed by various treatment technologies."

Please don't make me explain what little I know about genetics, because next to you, I'm fucking brilliant. Recessive genes, I'll leave it at that.
"They HAD TO COME from the union between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN"
Ah I see, so it's the heterosexuals who are to blame for this "ghey plague".
"If it was inherited, HOW COME they were born at all?"
@John
It's a back-up, if something happens to you or your spouse, to have an unmarried brother or uncle who can take care of your children; makes it more probable that they will live long enough to have offspring (and spread the genes further).
Yeah, because no gay person of either gender has ever reproduced. Not ever.
Sure, and there's no fish in the sea and no sheep in Australia.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
