Yes, there has been. The latest that I heard is that there is a candidate mutated gene that has been identified in homosexuals. That only means they identified that it was present. I don't think any studies have been done that actually shows it does anything. Still, it provides evidence that gays are genetically different from heteros.bikkeldesnikkel wrote:The weird thing is, homosexual people say its not choice.

The fact that there are homosexual people doesn't _prove_ that there aren't heterosexual instincts, it could be a mutation in the DNA or some kind of psychological mutation of some sort. That is if it's true that it isn't by choice.
Hasn't there been any research as to biological differences in homosexuals?
I'll have to look into the studies, as soon as I'm done with the other readings and my test I have to do tonight.

I've stated many times that if the trauma can be negated then I'm all for it. My argument is based on a child going to a normal school because the reality is 99% of the children in adopted situations would be attending a school of this nature.
Countermeasures are implemented.
Any parent determined enough to adopt is going to do their homework. They'll move, pick the right school, whatever it takes to ensure their kids aren't traumatized.
How can you honestly cling to your ONE justification for banning gay adoptions? You want to eradicate ANY chance of misfortune? You can't guarantee everything. Hell, we're allowed to own guns, even though they can cause traumatization. You're a goddamned fear monger. If every law that got passed was done that way, this country would be ruled by fear moreso than it already is.

Sorry I won't fuck off, my whole point is based around the psychology of the children in question. I'm not saying the countermeasure you identify wouldn't work, I'm saying that it can't even come close to being applied to all circumstances.Transient wrote:Fuck off with your "OMGAH I HAVE TO HAVE A GUARANTEE OF SAFETY OR ELSE THE KIDDIES AER DOOMED" bullshit.
Thick, solid and tight in all the right places.

He's refusing to accept a point of view that lacks evidence, as yours does. I'm glad you can have a civil argument about your belief, but you have yet to offer evidence that it is correct; whereas most everyone else has given specific reasons why you could be wrong.
You've just been saying that "it is your belief."
If you want to believe it, fine. But when rational arguments and evidence are presented in contradiction to that belief, and you refuse to back down, it just makes you stubborn.

Perhaps it does and I'm more than happy to live with that, but unless someone has done a decade long survey on the treatment of children at school who have been adopted by gay parents there isn't much I can offer other than my opinion. I'm also not trying to convince anyone of my point of view, I'm simply providing it to generate some provocative discussion - and I've been more than successful in my intention.

If he is an alt, he's at least a decent one that can form complete sentences, even if they are unfounded. (OMG, reptilians!!) It makes me miss that Maleck32 character who was around before Q3W died. He was the one who used to argue that Bush won the debates.Transient wrote:I'm just waiting for raw to pull off the mask and say he is Law, with a big "played"...

Good guy.
