Of course the UKIP guy is a disgrace but I was just wondering where this 15% figure comes from. For instance the household survey from several years ago came up with only about 1.5% the population who classed themselves as being either homosexual or bisexual. 95% of people described themselves as heterosexuals. 3% either said 'don't know' or refused to answer and 0.5% chose other. How many of the population are gay of course is neither here nor there the important thing is that they treated the same as everyone else.

29 Apr 13 - 05:04 PM (#3510297) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: JohnInKansas In actuality, the separation of the sexes in typical "PE" appears to be a strong effect in the creation of the "male bonding" that's advocated in several team sports, and that some have suggested is an effective way of suppressing the overt recognition of male homosexual tendencies by disguising them as "something else" more acceptable. The implication is that PE (team sports) to some extent "keeps them in the closet," since it provides an "inoffensive outlet" for their inclinations (if they're not too strong) but there's no real evidence that it changes any one's attitudes by much. My experience has been that this occurs less frequently in sports where the emphasis is on individual performance like track or wrestling, but is generally something that appears to be fairly common in football and almost as prevalent in basketball/soccer/hockey where there's lots of "physical contact" and much dependence on "cooperation with guys just like me." There were several "suspects" on my old High School football team, a couple of whom actually did "come out" later. I can't think of any from the track/cross country bunch who are similar examples, and only one from the swim team (but we all knew about him long before he did, so maybe he doesn't count). John |

That sounds almost like there is some psychological reason they make that choice and I take it if that were so then a visit to the shrink could possibly 'cure' them. Couldn't it just be that maybe there were born that way and preferring people of the same sex is their natural condition? Even if it isn't the natural condition for the majority population. Why does something need to be 'wrong' with them? |

From: akenaton Allan, I dont "know", I have opinions, just like you or others who believe homosexuality is based on genetics....a "third sex" It used to be widely accepted that homosexuality was based on a childs relationship ....or lack of one, with his or her parents. Sexual, physical, or mental abuse in childhood was also thought to be a factor. Both of these explanations seem more sensible than hitching ones wagon to an invisible gene. Surely, with the advancement in genetics in recent years,any link should be patently obvious, but despite millions of £s and the best efforts of science, the pink gene remains undiscovered? In the meantime science can trace our DNA back into antiquity, make the most amazing discoveries about our ancestors, yet cannot show homosexuality to be anything other than learned, or aquired behaviour. On "Gat Pride" marches, my position has always been, that if hetero's were to hold such demonstrations, they would surely fall foul of anti discrimination legislation......."Proud to be Hetero is definitely a NO-NO" :0) |

Are any of those preferences totally controlled by genetics? Any sensible person will answer no and no. Sexual orientation, like all other tastes, is certain to have genetic as well as environmental components (perhaps as well as genetic components triggered by environmental factors). But let's pretend for a moment that there is *no* genetic component, and it is all due to childhood or in-utero environmental factors. Doesn't this impose constraints that are every bit as strong as if they were genetic? Does the adult who results from these influences have any more "choice" in the matter than if it were entirely genetic? So lay off the bullshit nit-picking about genetics, and just don't be a fucking douchebag hater. Or do you want people telling *you* whom you can and cannot love? |

29 Apr 13 - 08:40 PM (#3510321) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: Don Firth As a gay acquaintance of mine told me when I asked him, "Considering the facts that being gay can make you an outcast with a large number of people, can get you fired from you job or not hired in the first place, can get you repeatedly dragged into a back alley and beaten up, and could even get you killed, who with half a brain would ever choose to be gay?" ===== Widely accepted by whom, Ake? The science of genetics is considerably more complex than you are trying to make it sound. Yes, certain specific genes can be traced back to antiquity, but the interaction of certain combinations of genes, especially if some of them are recessive, is a much more complicated matter. The fact that sexual orientation has a genetic component is not in doubt by the vast majority of geneticists (see, for example, several articles in "Scientific American" and "Psychology Today."). True, a specific gay gene has not been found and there may not be one—as such! But it has been noted that same sex orientation tends to run in extended families. Which is to say that an unusual number, but nowhere near every male (obviously!) in a particular extended family, is gay. And this holds true even when cousins or uncles and nephews have never met, so the idea of an uncle molesting his nephew or teaching him to be gay simply doesn't wash in this context. And abuse, sexual or otherwise (a simplistic explanation at best), is not at issue, because it manifests itself in several discrete families within and extended family. This is significant in terms of genetic research. It is believed by some geneticists that the gene(s) involved are carried by some females in the extended family, although it does not seem to affect that particular female as far as her sexual orientation is concerned. MOST genetic issues are far more complex that simply locating a single gene. And sorry, Goofballupagus. Just because YOU don't want to see the moon and you hide under the bed whenever it's out, does not mean it isn't there. The vigor you display in denying the existence of genetic components in same-sex orientation are a clear indication that you are emotionally invested in the matter. Busted! Don Firth |

Handedness, like many other characteristics, is determined by a combination of genetic factors. To say that left handedness is a matter of choice and cannot possibly be genetic unless one can show a specific "left handed gene" indicates that the person who makes that sort of claim doesn't know diddly-squat about genetics. And it's interesting to note that young left handed children who are forced to learn to write and do similar tasks with their right hands rather than their left often develop a range of problems, such as stammering. Not unlike same-sex oriented people who have "cured" of their "abnormality" by "counselors," frequently with aversion therapy. Don Firth |

30 Apr 13 - 03:44 AM (#3510378) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity From the Stanford study that you posted: "Fetal development studies suggest how such a gene might influence such a complex behavior. The development of a fetus into a male is accomplished by the development of the testes, which produce testosterone, which has a wide range of physiological effects. During the perinatal period, a week before and after birth, testosterone has an irreversible organizing effect on the body and brain of males. If the hormone is absent during this period, the individual's anatomy and behavior never can become wholly male. A testosterone surge during puberty activates male sexual development and behavior." When they get done playing around, they have also found that this 'abnormal development' in "...testosterone has an irreversible organizing effect on the body and brain of males." is caused by the mother's disposition during pregnancy....RECEPTORS! Stanford study: "Identical twin studies shed additional light on the genetic underpinnings of sexual preference. If there are differences in preference between identical twins, who share the same genes, then that difference cannot be genetic. Here, the research indicates that in cases where one identical male twin is gay, about half the time the other twin is gay as well. "This is way above 4 percent, so it's got to be genetic, but it is nowhere near 100 percent," This is Goldstein's OPINION...overlooking that the RECEPTORS, which are from the same mother, are 'nourishing' or setting up the responses and 'needs', which homosexual BEHAVIOR patterns are formed. Continuing from the Stanford predetermined 'study': "The results of this survey are supported by studies of "gender non-conforming children." In little girls, this behavior, acting as tomboys, bears no social stigma. In little boys, cross-dressing, playing with dolls and behaving like girls is socially damaging. A larger than average number of such "sissy boys" become gay adults, she said." So she sums up the study with this little 'gem'...."...In little boys, cross-dressing, playing with dolls and behaving like girls is socially damaging." So cross dressing is 'genetic'??????...and playing with dolls???? Sounds more CULTURAL to me......which is a response, to appeasing RECEPTORS! NIH' 'Study': Read this carefully, (I'll put in capitals the misleading wordage) "WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Many homosexual men APPEAR to INHERIT a gene FROM THE MOTHERS that influences sexual orientation, a National Cancer Institute researcher reported Thursday." Why only from the mothers?????.....I know why, and you run from it. The fathers aren't carrying the fetus, which 'SUGGESTS' even LOUDER that the formation of RECEPTORS in the nervous system, has a GREAT deal with the mother/fetal link, than anything 'genetic' from the father. "The finding -- certain to add fuel to the already heated debate over gay rights -- supports earlier studies which SUGGESTED that inherited genetic factors AT LEAST PLAY A ROLE in determining sexual orientation." ``Being gay is not simply a choice or purely a decision. PEOPLE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE GENES THEY INHERIT" While that is true, it is a blanket statement, as if to tie it into the homosexual 'debate'.....because the trait is not genetically based! EITHER THIS STUDY, WITH IT'S DOUBLE TALK WAS FUNDED BY A HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA, OR WHAT THEY WANTED TO SAY WAS PREDETERMINED. You can see it clearly in the wording, and carefully placed 'disclaimers'....LIKE THIS ONE:(but read it carefully, you will see 'RECEPTORS' all over the place!) "The X chromosome is one of two sex-determining chromosomes; it is ALWAYS INHERITED FROM THE MOTHERS. Genes are arranged along 46 chromosomes, each consisting of tiny coils of DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, WHICH CARRIES THE INSTRUCTIONS TO MANUFACTURE a particular body substance. There was no such similar sharing in the same region among heterosexual men. The researchers have not yet compared the homosexuals' genetic information to the other group." WHAT????????????!!!! They come to that conclusion without comparing them to the other group????????? I've had issues with the NIH before, for being agenda driven phonies, but even you, who are WANTING to hear these results can't buy into that crap!...at least I wouldn't think you were THAT stupid!!!

From: Rumncoke It could be argued that having non breeding humans in the family would have been a good thing - way back when having a youngster to feed was a serious drain on the family resources. A couple of women who just brought in the plants and small animals without producing babies, men who would rather be off hunting or fishing with the others rather than turning up with a watermelon grin and a pregnant girl - recipe for survival as far as I can see. If a stressful pregnancy results in more homosexual behaviour it could be argued that it is a perfectly natural survival trait, adapting the family group to have fewer dependants and more providers or even fighters in the next generation. The situation could either continue with continued stress or revert to - I hesitate to call it more normal, but a situation where more people are disposed to breed, which would also be a survival trait in less stressful times. Genes are very complicated structures, and they can express themselves in different ways - they are by no means set in stone. Different conditions during development and childhood cause genes to work differently, sometimes not in the person experiencing the conditions but their children or even grandchildren. People who went through a period of starvation at a particular age have a significantly higher number of diabetic grandchildren, for instance. There is a whole branch of science to study these inherited but not genetic alterations - the names of which totally escapes me. |

And by the way, they've just been married under Washington State's new same-sex marriage bill, which was passed by popular vote in the last election. And I have always been concerned with my son's well-being, and I deserted no one.

Saying, just for this point in the discussion, that this is true. The article still indicates that the child ends up with irreversable differences in physical, biological and psychological makeup. How does this fit with saying that his orientation is strictly "behavioural", that he can be "cured" by pounding on upholstered furniture and being hugged, and that there is nothing wrong with discriminating against him because there is no valid analogy to discrimination against someone born with different skin color? |

Of course, I suppose people like you Ian, would rather see children starving and pensioners freezing, than homosexuals being deprived of something they dont seem to want. I am against Homosexual "marriage" on the grounds that it is bad for the structure of society, but primarily on the horrendous sexual health figures associated with the behaviour. It would appear that male to male sexual intercourse is extremely unhealthy and if we as a society continue to sweep these figures under the carpet, then homosexuals will be the biggest losers In parts of the US 95% of new syphillis cases are amongst MSM. HIV figures continue to rise steadily along with most other diseases associated with male sex In developed countries, hiv has become almost a disease of homosexuality....whether this is because of extreme promiscuity or the methods employed, should to be the subject of a large scale public enquiry and, as is being suggested by the health agencies, compusory testing and contact tracing brought forward.....Homosexuality should certainly not be presented to our children as "just another lifestyle" |

Here in Washington State, I don't have the figures yet because the law was just passed a few months ago, but there has been a huge number of same-sex marriages. Your claim that people of same-sex orientation are not interested in marriage is belied by the facts. You want statistics?

03 May 13 - 03:20 AM (#3511218) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: Keith A of Hertford from HPA 2012 report. The overall prevalence in 2011 was 1.5 per 1,000 population with the highest rates reported among men who have sex with men (MSM) (47 per 1,000) and the black African community (37 per 1,000). New diagnoses among MSM have been increasing since 2007 with 3,010 reports in 2011, representing an all-time high. Direct and indirect measures of incidence show that the rate of HIV transmission in this population remains high. Recommendations • Safe sex programmes promoting condom use and HIV testing remain a priority for MSM and black African and Caribbean communities to reduce ongoing transmission and undiagnosed infection. • HIV testing, which is free and confidential at services such as STI clinics, should be promoted among higher risk groups to ensure individuals are aware of their HIV status. Specifically: -- MSM should have an HIV/STI screen at least annually, and every three months if having unprotected sex with new or casual partners. -- Black Africans and Caribbeans should have an HIV test and should have regular HIV/STI screening if having unprotected sex with new or casual partners. |

Keith - When looking for statistics, look for the ones in discussion? Nobody is being complacent and the figures you quote, when drilled down regionally, are even more stark, especially BAC, sadly. However, I was speaking of GU clinic take, which is just one service where HIV is occasionally diagnosed. ED (A&E to me & thee) picks up, as it were, far more, and elective screening most of the rest. The cost of antiretrovirals is immense, so targeting and helping people takes a lot of thought, a lot of analysis of facts and a hell of a lot of outreach. Demonising for bigoted or political reasons is an unnecessary distraction. There again, flipping to Mudcat to feed the trolls might be cathartic on a busy day, but if the general population were anything like as ignorant as you two prize twats, the HPA figures would spiral out of control. My comments on increases in sexual health concerns have no bearing on the figures you quote, and those HPA figures are tied up in the substance misuse statistic. You try to appear intelligent so be so and read further. You will find that MSM is a group not a symptom, and substance misuse is highly prevalent. Hence the issues in linking transmission to sexual activity. If highly vocal pond life such as many UKIP / BNP wannabe politicians and bigoted old men keep trying to inject hatred at the rate they do, substance misuse in a maligned set of people may well continue. If society insists on entertaining such pathetic views, stable monogamous relationships amongst gay people will be harder to be seen as acceptable. You'd all just have to find someone else to hate. The clue is in the HPA stuff. The final recommendation isn't just MSM, so you can do an Enoch? In the meantime, I shall remain in my job. Trying to reason with people with an agenda isn't something I enjoy doing, but reading some of the diatribe from you two at least reinforces my stance in the real world that evidence has to be treated in the entirety rather than subjectively if we are ever to tackle the issue of STDs, the myriad underlying causes and manage to address the red herrings brought about by people with despicable agendas. Out of interest, neither of you are in the same league as some we deal with and indeed answer to.

It is not right or fair that MSMs are at a much greater risk of STIs, but they are. Do not blame the messenger. There is no hate in me. I am not aware of MSMs having unusual levels of substance abuse. I think you made that up. You do not help your case by making stuff up and denying facts. You must incorporate the facts as they are into your case. |

From: akenaton Keith....I think Ian may be referring to the use of (Crystal Meths?) etc which apparently is widely used by homosexuals during intercourse. This use of what are said to be very dangerous drugs for the purpose of increasing the intensity of sex....is part and parcel of the risk taking which is associated with male homosexuality. So should not be addressed seperately, despite what Ian implies. |

Goofballupagus is a writer of fiction. To set the record straight, the radio station where I was news director was in Pasco, a small rural town in eastern Washington. It was an ABC affiliate, so for national news, I just flipped the switch at the top if the hour as I was instructed to do. The local news consisted of the farm report and mostly social news. An occasional accident on the nearby freeway. I did no editorializing or commentary. Oh,yes. Frequent public service announcements that nearby Rattlesnake Mountain was aptly named, and that people hiking up there should keep their eyes open. A news director is answerable to the station manager and Roger was essentially apolitical. There should be no doubt by now in any intelligent person's mind that GfS is, indeed, a pathelogical liar.

03 May 13 - 05:28 PM (#3511432) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: Don Firth My idols in the broadcast news business where people such as Eric Sevareid, Daniel Schorr, Walter Cronkite, and the granddaddy of them all, Edward R. Murrow. During the time I was at KORD, Richard Nixon was president, and I had plenty of opinions about him. But my job was such that I didn't have an opportunity to voice them. But it was unnecessary, because other newsmen and commentators such as Eric Sevaried and others had plenty to say. GfS apparently does not know the distinction between NEWS and EDITORIAL COMMENT. News deals with facts and answers the question, "what happened?" Commentary tries to ennunciate someone's opinion of why it happened, who's doing what to whom, and why are they doing it? The six o'clock news on any of the "Big Three," ABC, CBS, and NBC, report the news. What events took place during the day. There may be a segment in the program for commentary, but that's always specified as "editorial opinion." Fox News, on the other hand, does not separate news from opinion, and their programming is almost entirely opinion. They are anything but "fair and balanced." I think Goofy reveals a great deal about himself with his allegations about my activities as a news man. He's not painting anywhere near an accurate picture of what a news man or even a news director's options are. They are required to follow the policies of the station. If you don't like the policy, don't work there. And the station where I worked as news director did not HAVE a political policy. Not that we didn't have opinions, but we had to keep them to ourselves. If Goofball went to work as a newsman, assuming he could speak good English in general, speak standard American English (pronunciation), had a good, listenable voice, could write cohesive, grammatically correct sentences, had a fierce dedication to presenting the facts, and kept his opinions to himself unless assigned to do an opinion piece (which would be vetted first by the station manager or others in authority), then he might be allowed in the building. But with what HE seems to think a newsman can get away with, he'd get his ass kicked out the door on the first day! I think that in these threads, with his wild, imaginative, and denigrating fictions about various people about whom he knows nothing, he has more that graphically demonstrated his "fierce dedication to presenting the facts."

It makes no difference if it's a choice, it it's genetic, if it's caused by early childhood nurture, or anything. None of that matters. What matters is that it exists, people actualy are gay, and we're supposed to treat everyone equally, both ethically and legally. That's the only debate. |

04 May 13 - 07:30 PM (#3511690) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: Don Firth Final word. From the Can-West Global News Service: A Chicago genome researcher says he has found a group of genes that strongly influence whether a man is homosexual--not a single "gay gene," but a group of genes acting together. This provides at least part of the explanation for what makes men gay, a question that gene scientists have sought to solve for more than a decade. The University of Illinois at Chicago and U.S. National Institutes of Health searched through the genes of 456 men from 146 families—each of which has at least two gay brothers, and have essentially determined that there are three genes, two genes from the X chromosome and one from the Y chromosome, acting in combination. There is concern among some geneticists as to how some expectant parents will respond to this information. The fear is that some parents, if, prenatal DNA testing shows the fetus carries this combination of genes, may opt to terminated the pregnancy. An abortion of an otherwise perfectly normal human being—who is destined to be homosexual. And to some parents, this may pose a real dilemma. Those who are opposed to both homosexuality—AND to abortion, who oftentimes are religious, holding a rigid set of beliefs on both subjects. The research is reported in the Journal of Human Genetics.

06 May 13 - 12:27 PM (#3512151) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Here is a link that goes into these areas: (if you are REALLY interested). Genetic Studies Hormonal Studies Neuroanatomic Studies References Have fun!...it covers the results of all the main thoughts on the subject An excerpt:..The increasing claims of being "born that way" parallels the rising political activism of homosexual organisations, who politicise the issue of homosexual origins . In the 1970s, approximately ten percent of homosexuals claimed to be "born homosexual" according to a large scale survey.[3] However, in a survey in the 1980s, with the homosexual rights movement increasingly becoming active, thirty-five percent claimed to be born that way.[4]" Another except:.. "There are some homosexuals who would like to and probably could change their sexual orientation. Because some homosexual groups maintain contrary to the bulk of scientific evidence that preferential or exclusive homosexuality can never be changed, these people may be discouraged from seeking adequate psychiatric consultation. What is more deplorable is that this myth may also be accepted by some physicians...The physician who is not alert to the orientation of the homosexual patient may not challenge the belief in sexual irreversibility and arrange for appropriate referral[12]." It is possible that the Council on Scientific Affairs of the American Medical Association may review its policies due to lobbying by pro-homosexual organisations." Another excerpt: "(c) Another factor which makes genetic theories implausible are cultural considerations relating to attitudes towards homosexual behaviour. The prevalence of such behaviour increases in cultures indifferent to such behaviour, and a casual attitude towards sex in general... Dr. Baron, from the Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University, New York, commented in the British Medical Journal recently that " it would be difficult to envisage a change in the prevalence of a genetic trait merely in response to changing cultural norms[8] ." .................................................................... The link that I have for the explaining how receptors work, and they do a great job, can be found at: (this link only explains how they work, it does NOT address the homosexual question....just how receptors work. Here's the whole movie.....the part on receptors comes out post mid point Be patient, there is a lot of great stuff in here!...and NOTE the references!!! Check it out if you wish to NOT remain unlearned in the subject other than the 'political' view, which is rather limited and skewed!! GfS P.S. I posted about their results more than three years ago, not from these sources..but watching it unfold as political agendas were affecting known scientific facts, and causing psychologists to adopt their views...even before their bogus, incomplete studies.

06 May 13 - 01:33 PM (#3512197) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity ...and how long ago did they discover that the earth revolved around the sun??....would a later opinion change that fact? Here's something from 2010" "Recent Article from ScienceDaily February 2010: Potential Evolutionary Role for Same-Sex Attraction Male homosexuality doesn't make complete sense from an evolutionary point of view. It appears that the trait is heritable, but because homosexual men are much less likely to produce offspring than heterosexual men, shouldn't the genes for this trait have been extinguished long ago? What value could this sexual orientation have, that it has persisted for eons even without any discernible reproductive advantage? One possible explanation is what evolutionary psychologists call the "kin selection hypothesis." What that means is that homosexuality may convey an indirect benefit by enhancing the survival prospects of close relatives. Specifically, the theory holds that homosexual men might enhance their own genetic prospects by being "helpers in the nest." By acting altruistically toward nieces and nephews, homosexual men would perpetuate the family genes, including some of their own. Two evolutionary psychologists, Paul Vasey and Doug VanderLaan of the University of Lethbridge, Canada tested this idea for the past several years on the Pacific island of Samoa. They chose Samoa because males who prefer men as sexual partners are widely recognized and accepted there as a distinct gender category -- called fa'afafine -- neither man nor woman. The fa'afafine tend to be effeminate, and exclusively attracted to adult men as sexual partners. This clear demarcation makes it easier to identify a sample for study. Past research has shown that the fa'afafine are much more altruistically inclined toward their nieces and nephews than either Samoan women or heterosexual men. They are willing to babysit a lot, tutor their nieces and nephews in art and music, and help out financially -- paying for medical care and education and so forth. In a new study, the scientists set out to unravel the psychology of the fa'afafine, to see if their altruism is targeted specifically at kin rather than kids in general. They recruited a large sample of fa'afafine, and comparable samples of women and heterosexual men. They gave them all a series of questionnaires, measuring their willingness to help their nieces and nephews in various ways -- caretaking, gifts, teaching -- and also their willingness to do these things for other, unrelated kids. The findings, reported on-line this week in the journal Psychological Science, lend strong support to the kin selection idea. Compared to Samoan women and heterosexual men, the fa'afafine showed a much weaker link between their avuncular -- or uncle like -- behavior and their altruism toward kids generally. This cognitive dissociation, the scientists argue, allows the fa'afafine to allocate their resources more efficiently and precisely to their kin -- and thus enhance their own evolutionary prospects. To compensate for being childless, each fa'afafine would have to somehow support the survival of two additional nieces or nephews who would otherwise not have existed. "If kin selection is the sole mechanism by which genes for male same-sex sexual attraction are maintained over time," the fa'afafine must be "super uncles" to earn their evolutionary keep, explains Vasey. Consequently, Vasey suggests "that the fa'afafine's avuncularity probably contributes to the evolutionary survival of genes for male same-sex sexual attraction, but is unlikely to entirely offset the costs of not reproducing." Do these findings have any meaning outside of Samoa? Yes and no. Samoan culture is very different from most Western cultures. Samoan culture is very localized, and centered on tight-knit extended families, whereas Western societies tend to be highly individualistic and homophobic. Families are also much more geographically dispersed in Western cultures, diminishing the role that bachelor uncles can play in the extended family, even if they choose to. But in this sense, the researchers say, Samoa's communitarian culture may be more -- not less -- representative of the environment in which male same-sex sexuality evolved eons ago. In that sense, it's not the bachelor uncle who is poorly adapted to the world, but rather the modern Western world that has evolved into an unwelcoming place." |

Perhaps it's because of the final paragraph, in which the author seems to be trying to negate what the previous part of the article is saying—and which, up until that point, which makes a great deal of sense from an evolutionary standpoint. Note: In Indonesia a few years back, the government tried to encourage homosexuality in an effort to slow Indonesia's burgeoning population problem. Despite persuasion and offering certain encouragements to those who would "opt" to become homosexual, the attempt was a complete failure. Despite the government offered incentives, no one "chose" to change their sexual orientation. Don Firth |

08 May 13 - 02:59 PM (#3513102) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Sorry, hit the wrong button. Because 'receptors' have a function of setting up the neurological system in the fetus. Being as the fetus, is attached directly to the mother's biological system for nourishment, and the formation of all the various functions, that a child is born with....circulatory, digestion, neurological, reproductive etc etc....OK?...now when the mother is stressed, or bitter, or resentful...or even happy and calm, those emotions she is going through, and the neurological signals, are being directly sent to the fetus. The receptors, being formed, in essence, are being programmed, in the womb, to be predisposed, as to the signals they are going to respond to, once born. for instance, if something strikes you as 'funny', you laugh. Something strikes you as 'sad', you may have a 'less than happy' response....If a child is born, with a predisposition to 'resent', or resent the 'father figure', then he will be readily 'triggered', to have those 'receptors' respond and be activated, as they were in the womb..much like a child can be born with a chemical addiction, 'receptors' are predisposed to respond, but not to a physical/chemical addiction, but to an emotional 'addiction'(if you will). Upon satisfying their need, to transmit neurological signals, they then are 'gratified' by the brain releasing dopamine. This is pretty well explained in the video. I will pick this up a little later, but A have an appointment to get ready for. Just think about what I laid out for you. It is a non biased anatomical FACT. How it ties in, I'll get into when I get back. Ignore, at this point, any half-witted blusterer trying to dispute this as a political point of view...it is strictly medical, and accurate.

08 May 13 - 05:36 PM (#3513171) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: Don Firth Goofball's little dissertation on "receptors" and the mother's moods and attitudes and such being transmitted to the fetus is something I have heard before. In 1950, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard branched out into his own brand of psychology when he published "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health." Hubbard maintained that things that affected the moods and attitudes of an expectant mother were perceived by the fetus and stored in the subconscious "reactive mind" as what Hubbard called "engrams." Engrams, of course, cause all kinds of psychological problems—the whole catalog—and trained "auditors" could "clear" a person (patient) of their engrams and restore them to perfect mental health. A whole batch of people jumped on the bandwagon, took the very short course in "auditing," and set themselves up in business. During the Fifties, I was stomping around the University of Washington campus using a pair of forearm crutches. I had several people approach me and say that if I'd sign up for several "auditing sessions," I could throw the crutches away and walk normally. Odd! I always thought poliomyelitis was caused by a virus. I didn't know that I got it because my mother was feeling cranky when she was pregnant with me! It wasn't long before the appropriate Medical and Psychiatric organizations declared Dianetics a "pseudoscience." And shortly after that, Hubbard, fearing bad publicity for he and his followers, and such things as charges of malpractice, declared Dianetics to be a "religion," and called it "The Church of Scientology," thus claiming the protections of Freedom of Religion. The rest is history. What Goofball is saying about the mother's mood affecting the fetus through "receptors" sounds exactly like what L. Ron Hubbard was peddling in "Dianetics." He claims he's a "family counselor." Dianetics auditor, perhaps? Or a priest in the Church of Scientology? Don Firth |

09 May 13 - 05:41 AM (#3513286) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: GUEST,Eliza Guest-from Sanity, are you saying that the mother's moods, experiences, hormone swings, traumas or pleasures have a direct influence on the developing brain of the foetus, and therefore will produce character traits and even determine sexuality? If so, have any studies been done on identical twins, (who presumably are subject to identical influences in utero) and do they have identical personality traits after birth and in later life? Furthermore, are there examples of identical twin gay siblings? (This is all starting to sound horribly like a Mengele theory of eugenics. He apparently was most interested in twins, for equally sinister reasons.) In my experience of twins among my pupils, each pair of identical twins showed an amazing difference in their personalities. One was more timid, more withdrawn and more compliant etc while the other was invariably bolder, more confident and sometimes more naughty. I have to repeat that even if a child is 'born gay', it doesn't matter, and they can BE gay and marry etc as they wish. Whyever not? Perhaps the homophobics here are travelling down the road of 'identifying' gay foetuses in the womb and aborting (ie murdering) them to prevent the birth of (gasp!) yet another gay abomination. I DO hope NOT! |

09 May 13 - 12:57 PM (#3513444) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: Don Firth One reason that geneticists have been reluctant to come on too strong about tying same-sex orientation with genetics or genetic components or a congenital condition is the fear that with so many people these days getting prenatal testing for the expected child (usually on the lookout for things such as Down's syndrome or other birth defects—or wanting to know ahead of time the sex of the child) is that if the parents know ahead of time that the child will be gay, they may opt for terminating the pregnancy.

From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Eliza: "Perhaps the homophobics here are travelling down the road of 'identifying' gay foetuses in the womb and aborting (ie murdering) them to prevent the birth of (gasp!) yet another gay abomination. I DO hope NOT!" Gawd, I hope not!...but you never know...if it becomes politically correct, who knows what they'll come up with! As to the twins, not all twins are identical down to the last follicle. What I am say, (well not just me), is that the pregnancy has a lot to do with setting up certain systems of the fetus. Keeping in mind, that the moods and emotions, experienced by the mother, is directly connected to the developing fetus. Now in the case of 'receptors', they have a MAJOR influence of perception...if the mother(or anyone), is perceiving an issue, that causes a mood swing, it does not mean that she is perceiving it accurately, BUT to her, her mood is accurate and real, and true. Regardless, the hormones released, are released as if the perception is real. These hormones have a direct effect on the fetus, in several areas, and can, and does shape elements of the predisposition of the child. I don't think this is too hard to understand. For instance, expectant mothers are advised not to drink alcohol, or smoke during pregnancy, or take drugs etc etc. It is also wise for the father, to 'cover' the expectant mother. What I mean by 'cover' is being actively involved in loving both of them, and making sure that the mother is not overly stressed out, or burdened during this time. Some of the numbskulls may disagree with this, but a woman's body and psyche, are geared and hardwired, for bearing children. That SHOULD be honored and respected, nurtured and appreciated. Instead, we have sunk to the level of 'judging' a woman's worth, by merely her looks, or how she dresses or has 'sex appeal', rather than how she performs as a loving mother....which in reality, is the crown that she wears!!

Don: "You attack me with childish insults and you go so far as to attack my family when you don't know anything about my family, and then on the basis of the fictions you concoct, you attack my moral character." What moral character? GfS |

Hey, remember you said you weren't going to engage this kind of shit with me again???..more proof that you just lie your ass off, and try to turn it around. So do yourself and Mudcat a favor, and stop your crappy exchanges with me, just because you've lost your mind, argument, point and sense of reality..OK? You can't post with me without your ever growing nose interfering, and hitting extra letters on the keyboard! I know it will be rough on ya', but you keep diverting the thread with your putrid, pedantic, political punditry...The politicizing of distorted takes, on the agenda driven 'findings', is a completely stupid waste of time, not to mention, you've been shot down virtually every time.....THEN you maintain that I haven't been a counselor, which if that was the case, you must be really a lot stupider than you take into account, being eaten alive by a 'charlatan'! Fact is, this is NOT a contest. It SHOULD be an exchange of information to get to the truth....which if I'm correct, back in the 60's, your age group just 'didn't get it'...and still don't! Idiots like you is what the 'peace movement' rebelled against, and you guys just adopted...or tried to adopt, the language....but still, just never 'got it'! GfS P.S....and still haven't!!! |

10 May 13 - 05:47 AM (#3513685) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: GUEST,Eliza Don, I agree with every word of your 06.17pm post. I would add that even NOT being 'happily partenered', but instead embarking on a course of rampant promiscuity, a gay person has every right to conduct their sexual lives as they wish. I often feel that strident and vicious verbal homophobic attacks by posters here (and elsewhere in the real world) may stem from an innate tendency towards homosexuality, of which the poster is deeply ashamed and in denial. The 'cause' of homosexuality (or any kind of sexuality!) is totally irrelevant. Whether it is a conscious 'choice' or an inherited or congenital 'condition' is absolutely of no importance or concern. It certainly does NOT need to be 'prevented', 'cured' or 'corrected', what a cheek! I have always loved cats, even as a toddler. I'm drawn to them and have always had several as pets. My mother was the same. Whether I was 'born' with this love or 'copied' my mother or 'took it upon myself' to be a cat-lover is neither here nor there. It does no harm, it gives me joy and I defend the right to be so. What pray is the difference, when you look at it objectively? |

Being as the issue is what people do with their REPRODUCTIVE organs, does that mean Including procreation with each other???? Don, you haven't 'pegged' anything..if anything you are coming apart at the seams! I guess you think if you 'pronounce it' it becomes fact....look up 'delusional'! GfS |

You've totally lost any objectivity you ever had and think you can make your arguments true by attacking and insulting me. The last refuge of person who knows he's dead wrong. Crawl back under the sink where you belong. Don Firth |

10 May 13 - 09:31 PM (#3513754) Subject: RE: BS: P.E. stops you being gay? From: Don Firth A parable for the totally clueless: Mrs. Slocum walked the whole nineteen miles down from the mountain cabin that she shared with her husband and eighteen children to the settlement infirmary. She was heavily pregnant and about to deliver. She had made this journey every year since she and her husband had married. After she had the baby, the doctor wrapped the newborn child in a blanket and handed him to his mother. "Well, Mrs. Slocum, that's number nineteen, right?" said the smiling doctor. "Yup," responded the taciturn Mrs. Slocum. "Then I guess we'll be seeing you again next year," remarked the doctor, as she prepared to leave for the nineteen mile trek back up the mountain. "Nope!" said Mrs. Slocum. "Oh?" said the doctor, "You're not going to have any more children? "Nope!" said Mrs. Slocum. "We found out what was doin' it!" ======= People do not fall in love and get married for the sole purpose of having children. They fall in love because they find each other sexually attractive (they're wired that way), because they like each other (which is a component of, but not quite the same as love), and because they take pleasure in each other's company and have sufficient interests and beliefs in common to want to spend their lives together. Sexual activity and the pleasure it gives is natural part of such a relationship. And children are a by-product of sexual activity. That's nature's way of perpetuating the species. But perpetuating the species is not the responsibility of every, or any particular, married couple. However—if having a brood of babies were the only reason for getting married, then why all the research into, and the large market for, reliable birth-control products? Why do married women sometimes get abortions? Why do married people sometimes go to great lengths to be able to indulging in sex without having children? Although children can be a wonder and a delight, and are usually wanted by married couples, sharing a life together means far more than the desire to have children. And some people, for one reason or another, cannot have children. Does this mean they should not be allowed to get married and share their lives? Childless couples are not always bereft of children. Often there are nieces and nephews, neighbor's children, children of friends. And it's not at all unheard of that a childless couple can be better friends to a child than his or her own parents!
