Right on! But we're leaving out something: The first idiot's post,
above, neglects to even realize that we have plenty of study on the
subject. Approximately half of all gays have a child of their body
anyway! And the chicken baster method is tried and true for those gays
who want a child without any het sex at all, as though they would
really need to hold their nose much to do it just to have a child. And
the data has been in a number of years that indicates there is no
larger percentage of homosexual children produced from gay breeding,
let alone upbringing, as in heterosexuals' children. The percentage of
gays is virtually identical from both populations of children. In
other words, you can't raise kids to be gay, and you can't even pass
it on genetically! (Pass it on genetically!, Why does that sound so
hilarious? :) )
