"also, i believe we are all born asexual, if we were born on a desert island and left alone from birth, would you be gay or straight? i think neither. " interesting point. we would probably still jack off constantly though, but i guess that is the definition of asexual also my favourite ignorant moron homophobe sentiment is "i have no problem with gays, as long as they dont try to recruit my kids" or some variation on that silly people

I don't view that as an ignorant, moronic, homophobic, sentiment at all. In fact, I agree with the first part of your post but not with that latter comment. It seems contradictory to believe both at the same time. You noted that if we were born into isolation, knowing nothing in the way of hetero or homo sexuality that we would be neither gay, nor straight. This implies that sexual preference is at least in part based upon your environment. I don't hold the belief that a child's interaction with homosexuals during said child's emotional and sexual development has any outcome on his/her sexual preference. I do however think the word 'recruitment' says more than this. Example: Main Entry: re?cruit Pronunciation: ri-'kr?t Function: transitive verb : to restore or increase the health, vigor, or intensity of By definition this means the recruiter tries to increase the vigor or intensity of the thoughts, ideals, or situation at hand. As previously posted, I don't feel that children need any guidance or swaying in one direction or the other. I feel they will find out on their own, but young kids are highly impressionable and susceptible to adopting morals, ideas, and thought processes that might not be their own and that might not have arisen without the action of outside force. Again correlating to your first statement.

while there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, society seems to think there is, so by raising your child to be gay or gay-acting, you'd be putting them at more of a disadvantage
So, raise your kids to be proud of being gay. If you're black, you wouldn't want to raise your kids to pretend to be white so that they could avoid racism, would you?

If I were black, I'd want my children to be able to speak formal English when necessary in order to succeed in this world. Similarly, if I had a gay child, I'd want to teach him how to be safe.

well the reason that i say its true that a child raised seperate from ANY humans would be asexual is because they would never even know of the existance of mating partners. thats very different than saying a child raised by gay parents will be gay.
Its ignorant to me in the context i usually hear it, from people who imagine gays as mincing pedophiles stalking the streets for fresh children to bone.
Its true that being around gays might trigger a latent curiosity that otherwise wouldnt have come to light, but only to a far lesser extent than being around women makes you horny for pussy.
you cant cut people off from one side or the other, let them explore all aspects of the world and there own preferances will shine through. I know enough gays raised by straight parents to know that gay parents are not significantly more likely to raise gay kids.
