Saying this as someone who doesn't actually know her. Kay

Oh so that was YOU!

Huh? I have no mod powers in the USyd forum, so I do not know what you are talking about.

You are correct sir, it is poppin fresh.

Gay = homosexual. Ghey = stupid, idiotic, retarded

Oh there's photos of me.. somewhere.. ;)

Agreed, though nowadays I try and spell it "ghey" to make the distinction.

Lol neither, but then there's a point that Churches operate tax free, which I consider as being incorrect. Maybe Churches that abide by the law (in the case that gay marriage was made legal) would retain tax-free status, and those that chose not to would be taxed? This is the solution that...

Hatter, because Ruby told me to :o

Hm, interesting. Sounds like a cross between a student card and an Octopus card.

They don't necessarily want to be married by a Church, just as a heterosexual couple can get married not in a Church. Secular marriage != civil union/defacto relationships, at least when it comes to taxation benefits, next-of-kin rights, etc. No one is asking the Churches to change their...

You can't prove anything in biology. Prove, in this context, is a fallacious word. However, it sure does "prove" something - we can't just dismiss it as a "mental disorder" (as it used to be classified as) because as we do more research we find that it's simply not the case. Perhaps this will...

Sure. But there's mounting evidence, especially in the case of homosexuality vs. other "sexual preference disorders", that the distinction could indeed be biological rather than "purely" sociological (which personally I disagree with, though that's just opinion).

Too many uses of the word "genetic", I think, which is an oversimplification of varying mechanisms.

Not at all. I think that there is likely to be a futher distinction to be made between homosexuality and other, er, "sexual preference disorders", given apparent lack of heritability of homosexuality, the significant anatomical/physiological differences associated with it, etc. Which is why I...

I wasn't. I was reiterating your point :p

I wasn't suggesting the cycle-of-violence theory. I also wasn't discounting the fact that mental disorders are heritable, which clearly, they are.

It isn't. That's the point. Being homosexual is like having red hair. Being a pedophiliac is like being skitsophrenic. Different kinds of gene mutations.

My point is biological factors determining hetero/homosexuality != biological factors determining pedophilia. That's like conflating the genes that cause red hair (to use an example I've given before) to gene mutations that cause, say, social anxiety disorder.
