I was thinking more along the lines of one punching one of those inflatable clown punching bags with a sand-filled base.

What, in your frail, uninformed mind makes you think that a homosexual person is incapable of reproducing with a straight person? Sexual attraction/preference in NO WAY inhibits a person's physiological capability to reproduce. In fact, this is way homosexual preference EXISTS in the natural world. any species, despite their preference, invetably feels the need to reproduce.

Hell, there are plenty of homosexuals out there who reproduce, just as their are plenty of straight people who get vasectomies in their twenties b/c they never want to reproduce.

This is why fundamentalist asshats such as yourself should never be allowed newar a school that allows the teaching of science, or hell...I sure as shit wouldn't want you around my children, period.

hillariously enough, I write this inflammatory post from work--a lab at NWMH where we do tons of mouse work, and where I observe on any given day a healthy population of female mice humping other female companions that they are caged with. We will put these same females in with a male that night, and sure as evolution, there'll be a litter of pups 21 days later.

(I know this is old news now--but I couldn't let this comment slide without adding my own)

Hey asshat, I'm far from uneducated. I, in no way, have a frail or uninformed mind. Your reading comprehension does lack some skills though. I never once said a homosexual couldn't reproduce with a heterosexual. I said that homosexuals claim they were born that way so they should just deal the fuck with it. You claim to be a completely different biological off-shoot of homo-sapien then deal the fuck with all the pros (whatever they may be) with all the cons (one being NO NATURAL REPRODUCTION). Why is it so hard for you (and others apparently) to understand. You say you were born gay, then accept the fact you were born without the ability to have children if you adhere to your homosexual design. Stop comparing yourselves to straight couples who have infertility problems because you are in no way comparable. Their infertility comes from many documented medical reasons and yours comes from a kink in your genetic make-up. They are attempting to have children through medical assistance to overcome a medical or biological issue and you are trying to circumvent your so-called born design. Yes, my opinion is that homosexuals shouldn't be given adoption privileges nor should they be given surrogacy options either but that is my opinion and I don't need your approval of it.

I'm no fundamentalist asshat as you have so duly thought to note and I wouldn't want a pantywaist such as yourself around mine, that is for sure.

Were you being rhetorical?

What many people don't acknowledge with 'gayness' is there is not one answer.

A man sleeping with another man does not equal gay. It's more complex than that.

Homosexuality can come from different sources or a combination.

Genetically some have brain wirings like the opposite sex. The same things that turn on a straight female can turn on a homosexual man and vice versa. This is probably the main one.

Environmentally/Behaviorally some can be 'made' homosexual. People tend to follow what their friends and family do...many times taking on a lot of their parent's core beliefs even if they swear they'd never accept them.

Then you have people that aren't wired in anyway, were brought up straight...but just prefer same sex relationships. Many times these people can go from same sex to opposite sex relationships without problem (except the problems the other partner has finding out).

There really isn't one way to be 'gay'. Also as much as straight people like different levels of sex so do homosexuals. Not all are all in your face with it and not all are overly butch or feminate to underscore their 'roles' in the relationship.

If my child was born homosexual (for one I'd have no way to tell this to much later anyway), I would be upset. While acceptance is growing there are still many that would kill any homosexual they could. In some towns still the whole place wouldn't bat an eye to see a homosexual killed in the streets...many would probably help cover it up. To me that is sad.

I have no problems with someone's sexual orientations. I have no desire ever to be with a man, but at the same time I know women have no problem with that so why would not some males as well. I don't feel threatened by this and I don't think because someone is a homosexual they are going to molest a kid or expose themselves in public anymore than a straight person would.

We have many good, contributing members who happen to be gay.
You may not continue to post such verbal abuse on our forums.
Doing so again may be reason to suspend your posting privileges for an indefinite period of time.

Is that clear?

The op asked a pretty taboo question... I personally have no problems with homosexuals or heterosexuals or bisexuals or unisexuals or whatever they want to be... but I realize there are people who really do not like it. I am assuming the the op wants legitimate answers and fatdrag gave his personally feelings. I don't agree with him and based on his post I think he is most likely an immature uncaring douche bag... but that is my opinion just like it is his opinion.

There are plenty of people who would disown a child for multiple reasons. If this was a what would you do if your child was a drug dealer or had severe mental illness, and someone made fatdrag's post, I am sure it would not cause any red flags.

You can not be so foolish as to expect that a question like this would not give some of the douche bags a chance to send in their opinions in an insulting way that they probably think is hilarious.

That is the problem with free speech. If you truly believe in it, you also have to believe that all the idiots can say whatever they want too. PC doesn't count.
