When did telling someone they are fat & unhealthy (in a polite way) become 'bullying'

how about that fuc(k)M gene that keeps female mice interested in male mice?

Even the wiki article calls the evidence inconclusive, which you failed to include in your quote. It seems that if it were true that being gay was not a choice, the proof would be plastered all over the internet. It's not. Sorry.

I hadn't heard of this particular study. Can you please provide a link? I'd like to read more.

think that's the main point of your quote as it's not a simple matter of all gay women and men having a gay gene that made them gay as there are many other factors.

"Male-like sexual behavior of female mouse lacking fucose mutarotase".

...who would choose to be a member of a hated minority as a teenager? Who would choose to subject himself to social opprobrium at a time when mixing with peers is so important? Who would choose to deliberately stunt career choices, paths to advancement, entry into professional circles just for dick? Life would have been so much easier if I could have regularly gotten it up for gash: many gay men can and have led lives that I can't imagine: hurting others, suffering humiliation beyond comprehension...to even ask such a question is to reveal the depth of your ignorance...

...and the Dumbest Question of the Year Award goes to .... (There's ALWAYS rebels ... especially among teenagers. They're infamous for it.)

But anyway ... I asked in the present tense. Would he choose to change "now" ... in these gay tolerant times.

Well said TC.

**tomcat** · 6th October 2012 14:41

Red herrings left right and centre. Let's try again.

Hypothetically, would Hollow or you TC, living in gay tolerant Thailand ... today ... choose to be straight if it was possible to do so.

No more side stepping.
