1. All of which need to be looked in terms of the risk of getting pregnant. Because without modern birth control, or living in a culture that understands fertility cycles, that is a very real consequence
2. Google the mortality risk of pregnancy without modern medicine (an overview)
3. The risk between sexual activity and self esteem is very tenuous; there's often a negative relationship
4. Google 'sexually transmitted diseases'

Fair enough. But gay sex (whether or not you agree with Fatty's original point about homosexuality) serves no evolutionary purpose. Also, see points 3 and 4-- any benefits have to be looked at in terms of risks. Until the last ten years or so, gay sex outside a committed relationship was ultra risky.

Ahhh, what delicious timing...
Conversion therapy crusader has something to say: He's gay

“Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful,” said McKrae Game, a South Carolinian who founded one of the nation's biggest ex-gay ministries.

By all accounts conversion therapy is not an effective treatment for teh gaze, but then again, bleeding wasn't an effective treatment for smallpox. It didn't mean that there isn't an effective treatment.

What's interesting to me is that everyone is locked in such a mental prison that no one is even willing to discuss the implications of scientific discovery.

I think it is more that the issue is moving into the "Meh, I've got other things to think about" category. Except for the gaze and anti-gaze.

Oh, it's better than that.

Young people are growing less tolerant of LGBTQ individuals, a jarring turn for a generation traditionally considered embracing and open, a survey released Monday shows.

The number of Americans 18 to 34 who are comfortable interacting with LGBTQ people slipped from 53% in 2017 to 45% in 2018 – the only age group to show a decline, according to the annual Accelerating Acceptance report. And that is down from 63% in 2016.

Interesting statistics. Shows that leadership actually does matter on public opinion.

It shows nothing of the kind. It's at least as likely that kids are natural shitlords that don't like being lied and moralized to. You can only be dragged through the garden of homo "acceptance" (a stage of grief lol!) before you want to kick back at the commissariat.

We hope to show here that, though sexual orientation is not a choice, neither is there scientific evidence for the view that sexual orientation is a fixed and innate biological property.
I’m glad no one could find a gay gene, because then it can’t be a genetic test used to dispose of unwanted individuals, like India does with females with in prenatal tests.

Eventually research will find a combination of nature or nurture that motivates gay behavior.

Aborting a child for such a reason is foolishness and unnecessary.

Folks get tired of being bullied into "acceptance" and 'tolerance" especially by Torquemadas who believe that even being disgusted at gay sex is offense to all that is holy. It really is possible to be disgusted at gay sex while being friends and family with people who do it.

Pretty much, Gene.

Reaching a state of “meh” will be a sign of arrival.

Agreed. I'm not going to treat anyone differently because of their gender/orientation, but don't call me a Nazi if I don't get your pronoun right and/or forget to call you by your new name. I have too many other things I have to remember and I often get my own kids names mixed up.

The happiest societies are those without sexual hang ups.

The most miserable are those who have them. And they are distinctly interested in fucking up the happy societies vibe.

See Pacific Islanders and Missionaries for a great example of this.

No way. Look at Japan. They have ZERO sexual hangups and are miserable.
