Ignore that which is convenient for you to ignore. no, you just have gotten article happy and I ain't got no time for all of that. I didn't further argue against that point, I'll take it under advisement. Without articles we're all just a rambling bunch of fools.

Bismarck.Bloodrose said: »Based on the article Chaos posted, homosexuality is not a birth defect, but a naturally occurring epigenetic correspondence of protections for the mother and the father.
So who's really ignoring reality, when it makes more scientific sense than the "it's genetic" argument?
So yes, your comment about it being labeled a medical defect, when there is no kind of evidence to suggest it, is pretty damn HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. As in it doesn't add to, or progress the topic/argument at hand, and serves to intentionally spread misinformation.
Why are we born? To observe change, otherwise the universe would be static.

You can not like it if you choose. Doesn't change the fact that it doesn't fit into the parameter of reproduction and should be fixed.

We already don't need direct sexual intercourse for reproduction anymore. Nothing needs to be fixed even if all world goes gay.

Detecting a fetus's sexual preference before we can control or influence it, to correct it? Even when you've already stated incorrectly that it's a medical defect, as opposed to an epigenetic marker, or genetic coding process, which would make it a Genetic inconsistency.
Genetic Inconsistencies don't necessarily make something a defect, because genetic mutations happen as a part of evolution using the inconsistencies in genetic coding. Something becomes passive or latent, while another becomes dominant or active.
Our Hormones are wired to attract a specific kind of mating partner, while our mind can be wired to act on those hormones when it benefits us.
Do you even know the definition of "Medical Defect"? It's a defect that comes from the application of medicine or medical procedures. Just as a birth defect comes from birth, or genetic defect comes from genetics.

By saying that being gay is a medical defect, you're effectively blaming the medical community for causing it.

Totally conjecture on my end, but that could inadvertently skew our socialization as a species when you exclude bonding in-utero and tactile bonding.
Again, synthetic reproduction makes me squeamish.

No I am not. You are trying to twist it to defame what I was saying. I was just using generic terms.
It is an inconstancy, but so is being born with webbed feet. An inconstancy is still a defect and defects are inconsistent when it comes to processes. It doesn't change anything.

Again, synthetic reproduction makes me squeamish. There are legitimate reasons for synthetic reproduction at this stage in time, but those concerns aren't voiced anywhere near enough in comparison to the fear-mongering "test tube baby" claims.

Yes, I understand that, but I was thinking about an earlier thread. On the other hand, unless you have a Delorean with a Flux-Capacitor, you know as much as I do about the outcome of a society without traditional reproduction and the ramifications of it.

The only disadvantage in homosexuality is social(and I optimistically think that'll be mostly over within a couple of decades too). Don't need to fix that works differently but isn't effectively broken.

His, cause I am sure there are a lot of reason not to have synthetic reproduction also. Would be interesting to weigh the outcomes and gains.

Some of the reasons people are squeamish about synthetic reproduction, that hasn't been heavily voiced, is the potential damage to the developmental stages of a fetus, and the unknown long-term effects of that lack of in-utero bonding.
What kind of long term physical defects can be caused, what about mental developmental defects?
The humane, or inhumane practices required to make it affordable, or even viable on large scales.
It can be hard to get into the actual thought processes behind these reasons, when there has been little study on it, being relatively new, and only available in certain places.

It's not genetic though, that's the real misinformation.
Huge difference between genetic and epigenetic. Dictionary time?
Genetic:
Quote: of, pertaining to, or produced by genes; genic.
of, pertaining to, or influenced by geneses or origins.
Epigenetic:
Quote: noting or pertaining to epigenetics, specifically, the process by which the expression of genetic information is modified on a molecular level without a change to the DNA sequence: the epigenetic inheritance of longevity.
Misinformation occurs by saying it's genetic, meaning it's in the DNA. It's not! Epigenetic IS genetic. FFS, it's almost the same word.

I'm not particularly for or against in-vetro fertilization as a form of synthetic reproduction.
There are as many good logical reasons for it, as there are for being skeptical and squeamish about it.
There are couples, heterosexual and homosexual, who would love to have their genetics passed down, and for whatever their reasons for being unable to have a child, see it as a blessing and as a means to carry on that genetic material.

Levels of Oxycontin through each trimester effects bonding. Oxycontin injections, anyone? I was referring to Fumiku's post that being gay was caused by a medical defect making someone gay, by creating a "gay gene", even though medical and evolutionary science has debunked that myth several times over.
But medicines can cause certain genes to mutate prematurely, or to mutate unregulated, causing inconsistencies, or using those inconsistencies to create defects that can lead to physical or mental deformities and anomalies.
Sometimes the inconsistencies can also create boons and advantages, so they aren't necessarily defects, while Fumiku argued that all inconsistencies are defects.
Edit: The route a genetic inconsistency takes between defect and advantage is most often a result of a passive or dominant trait.
Children will sometimes, through genetic inconsistency will have different eye color from both parents who have the same eye color. It's not a defect, but a latent genetic trait becoming dominant, while the previously dominant genetic material then becomes passive through genetic mutation. The same thing can be applied to hair color, and so on.

Quote: HGTV is popular with the gays, so more than a few were scratching their heads when the cable channel announced a pilot featuring two brothers, one of whom—David Benham—has distinctly anti-gay views, as Right Wing Watch reported:
Later, Benham told Mefferd that America’s Christian majority must repent for tolerating abortion rights, no-fault divorce, legal pornography, “homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation” and the “demonic ideologies” that he says have taken over the education system.
After a backlash on the brothers' Facebook page, HGTV cancelled Flip It Forward, which prompted its own backlash with Fox star Megyn Kelly agreeing with Family Research Counil head Tony Perkins that unlike gay people (!), the rights of Christians aren't as "protected and recognized in this country.” On Thursday, CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter suggested this could be a thing and that Americans might perceive HGTV’s decision as a sign of intolerance toward intolerance.
“There is a risk, though, I think, of matching perceived intolerance with more intolerance,” Stelter said. “If you are someone at home who’s looking at this thinking, why are they taking away these brothers' TV show simply because of what they believe in the personal life, the answer—part of the answer to that—is diversity in the media.”
Luckily, NPR media critic Eric Deggans jumped in before the nodding CNN host closed out the segment. He disagreed with Stelter, saying that if the prospective hosts had expressed the same views about African-Americans instead of gays they wouldn’t even be having the discussion, nor would the brothers be able to find another network employer.

People should be entitled to their views, regardless of how ignorant they may be. It is when they take action in which it physically harms someone or inhibits their civil liberties that there should be consequences. This is very far from the actions of WBC. I would have liked to see such media coverage of WBC from LGBT non-profs and media outlets...just saying. People need to remember freedom of speech is a two way street, and if you are unwilling to protect that liberty for the ignorant and bigoted then freedom of speech as a concept is nothing but a sham.
