HtownWxBoy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 http://www.abpnews.com/1855.article Wow... big shock. After years and years and years of brainwashing people (weak and pathetic people) into believing gay people "choose" to be gay... now the President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is saying that evidence is pointing towards the fact that gay people are actually born gay. "OMG what to do what to do!!!" What does he propose... fix the gay unborn children genetically before they are born. Um... isn't this playing God? Shouldn't God only play God? Why would they want to change one of God's children? This just goes to show you how pathetic these kool-aid drinkers are. HA HA HA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Timmy Chan's Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Genetic "fix" for Gays ...well it's about damn time! So will this be like a shot, or a patch, pill, or what? Man, if we could just go to a gay bar and surreptitiously jab the gays with a needle, or slip a pill into their drink, we could fix EVERYTHING!

The bolded is so true. There are so many gay kids at Cinco Ranch that it just amazes me! It is the safe haven for gays. All of them act the same. They sound like my little sister (who is 11), and where ____ing scarfs while holding purses. They wear ripped up jeans and are so damn loud!

bachanon Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 unfortunately, many gay kids think that being gay requires acting like a girl. this couldn't be further from the truth. many are addicted to the attention it brings. i've seen my nephew practice......."practice" being manly. this is common for boys who realize they have a penis and want to emulate other men. this is good and bad. there are bad men who boys think they have to behave like. there are also gay boys who reject being masculine because they've had bad men in their lives they do not want to behave like. i feel that. i know why they feel that. fortunately, for me, i had a mushy, loving dad. i want to be like him.......not like my mom.i understand that being a flamer comforts these kids. they think that that is who they are. what they don't know is that they can be who they want to be and do not have to reject...........yes, REJECT masculinity. it is OK to be gay and masculine, but it takes some effort. straight boys for eternity have worked to be like their dads, brothers, uncles and grandpas. gay boys think...."i'm not like other guys" and go great lengths to set themselves apart. gay boys reject trying to be manly because they know they don't like girls. just because you don't like girls does not mean you can't be a masculine man.don't get me wrong. i do not intend to belittle gay, girlie boys. i simply think that they lack a certain maturity. they are missing out on a specific level of their identity as a male.i'm no camille paglia, but i do know the difference between a man and a woman. men who behave like women are usually not in tune with their masculinity, nor do they realize the benefits of identifying with their gender.

musicman Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 not that this is based in fact, but ugly betty has similar character in her nephew. they've put him in several serious situations (parents thought he was gay bashed, etc). to me it doesn't matter that he acts feminine or masculine what does matter is that he does stand by the principles his mother (and family) taught him. sometimes initially his mother doesn't even get it but then is very proud in the end. i think the show is very well written in many aspects.

dbigtex56 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 so, being yourself is rejecting who you are? just because something is comfortable does not mean it is natural. having a penis means your are male. embracing feminine qualities is to deny who you are.i'm not saying you should denigrate a bright child because he is feminine, i think that, at least, you should gently present the fact that it is good to be manly.......protective, responsible. what's wrong with looking in the mirror and claiming........"I'M A MAN!!!!". allwords.com definition of motherly:Thesaurus: maternal, devoted, caring, comforting, gentle, loving, tender, sympathetic, supporting, protective, indulgent A penis is not required for a person to be protective and responsible. In fact, those traits are found in ALL mature people. Does being unprotective and irresponsible make someone feminine (Paris Hilton notwithstanding)? From what you mentioned of your father, he sounds like a caring, comforting, gentle, loving, tender, sympathetic man. Are you sure he wasn't your mother? To experience a full range of emotions is healthy for all people, regardless of gender. I have no problem with looking in the mirror and knowing I'm a man; "claiming" seems so weak, so defensive, so effeminate, wouldn't you say? Please tell me you're not one of those people who asks gay couples "Uh...so which one of you is the woman?" Unless they're lesbians, the answer is "neither". One of the saddest people I've known was a gay man who tried very hard to act masculine. Often, he succeeded; he looked a lot like Burt Reynolds, and practiced keeping his voice in a lower register. But every now and then the facade would crack and suddenly he'd be FAAAAAB-ulous! And people would laugh, because it was funny. "so, being yourself is rejecting who you are? just because something is comfortable does not mean it is natural. having a penis means your are male. embracing feminine qualities is to deny who you are." bach, not only are you confused - now I'm confused, too!

nmainguy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 what's wrong with looking in the mirror and claiming........"I'M A MAN!!!!". What's wrong with looking in the mirror and saying: I'm still attractive to my partner-and myself at 54. Thank GOD my hair grew back! I love BB and soccer and know more about fashion than the average woman. I love the fact I grew up in a loving and supportive family that never denigrated me by trying to make me something I'm not. I realize I can be a pain but know deep down I am a soft-hearted mothering type. I thank god I'm not a woman (I love women, BTW) because there is too much plumbing, estrogen and those heels look like a torture device-even though they're kinda hot...on someone else.
