Your solution to over population is to turn gay?

I'd think spending tax dollars building undersea colonies, and outer space
stations for people to live and work would be a viable solution to this.

Also learning how to mass produce food in "hostile" environments, and evenly
distributing it to the hungry would also be in order.

You know that much of the aid that has been donated to go to feeding the hungy
never gets there?

Some goes to lining the pockets of the people running the scam, some just gets
lost somewhere.  And sometimes the foriegn government just hold the food!

Its been known to happen.  I'd drop this tying homosexuality into global
overcrowding.  That is not the issue.

Hardly.  I won't wear pink and lavender because I don't look good in those
colors, simple as that.  I think I do own a pink dress shirt.  Doesn't mean
I'm gay because I wear it sometimes though!

Tsk Tsk..  Naw, these are one.

There is a HUGE difference here!!

I am VERY close to my best friend!  I have not ever had any kind of sexual
thoughts, feelings, fantasies, or anything the such about him.  We are very
close though.   I care very much about what happenes to him, just like a
friend would.

That doesn't mean that there is any physical closeness, there doesn't have
to be.  (It is a non sexual relationship, and ALWAYS will be)

If two men have a relationship like that, it isn't homosexuality, because of
the pure and simple fact that there is no sexuality involved!!!

Not this boy.  :->  If there are others out there that feel this way, find
them..  But not I.

These people are not having sexual contact....  (Just thought that I would
spoil your utopian delusion there)
