    Except that isn’t what is happening

    There is virtually zero controversy of religious characters in school as long as it isn’t taught as fact. Religious figures exist in children’s books.

    Gay people have little issue hiring religious people, renting to them, providing them medical service — and it is illegal for them to refuse. The inverse of this isn’t true and is constantly fought against.

    I wish y’all would drop the “leave you alone and you will leave us alone” as it is an absolute blatant lie.

    Wow you go on and on about how I’m intolerant and full of hate and I’m not answering your questions, and when I post something that basically refuted all your arguements - and shows your premise is wrong - you retreat and try to change the subject.

    You are just here to smear and spread propaganda and hate.

    So you agree there is zero proof homosexuality has a physical cause. It’s all in the mind. It’s a choice.

    That brings up an interesting question - why would someone want to join a church that has values antithetical to his, where he will be surrounded by people he does not like and they don’t really like him, where he won’t fit in? Particularly when there are plenty of other churches that do share his values and will love to have him?

    Because his motives are bad, his intent is bad. He is looking to cause trouble.

    You didn't post anything that refuted any arguments I made and it is YOU that constantly changes the subject without answering.....like with your last post.
    As far as here to smear and spread propaganda, you should look in a mirror.

    Absolutely not do I agree.

    "As with other behavioral traits such as personality, there is no single "gay gene," says Broad team member Andrea Ganna. Instead, same-sex sexual behavior appears to be influenced by perhaps hundreds or thousands of genes, each with tiny effects."
    Is there a "gay"gene....no. Is there a "straight" gene.....also no.

    There are gay people that are religious. Religious people have pushed for various exclusions to treat gay and trans people as well as publicly funded adoption agencies that deny services to whoever they please.

    Tell me, are Republicans in general unable to have enough self control that they must levy a personal insult in every response or is it just the far right variety that have the issue?

    Your "article" is nothing but speculation, and its clear from the quote you used.

    There is no gay gene. There is no heterosexual gene - because humanity is intrinsically heterosexual. Every aspect of the human body - genetics, anatomy, biochemistry, evolution - drives humanity to heterosexual.

    Face it, humans are heterosexual, homosexual humans are abnormal.

    Aren't you the "party of science"? LOL

    First, it's not speculation, as much as you want it to be and what's clear from the quote it that it isn't
    Second, there isn't a gene for either/or because they both happen naturally in the gene makeup of individuals......which is in the article (don't know why you have quotes on that word) and the others I linked to
    Third, humans and all species are both heterosexual AND homsexual.....naturally. YOU make it abnormal.
    Here's another

    Actually, it is about 1.8% who are having difficulty with their genders, and it does affect me because the mutilation of children should not be encouraged in the society I want to live in.

    Yeah, it's so much better when they just kill themselves because that doesn't affect you somehow.

    hey kill themselves anyway after surgery, including those who would have outgrown the bizarre idea that they are transsexual.

    They do? At what rate? What do you have to back that up to show that the surgery is THE cause of the suicide.

    The oft quoted figure is that post-op the suicide rate among trans is twenty times that of the general population.

    I have an interesting study that documents that allowing children access to hormones and blockers without parental consent increases suicide rates for children.

    And what is the rate pre-op. Without that figure yours is irrelevant
    I see your "study" and up it with a real study
    https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/h...its-associated-with-gender-affirming-surgery/

    "The study examined data from the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey, which included nearly 20,000 participants, 38.8% of whom identified as transgender women, 32.5% of whom identified as transgender men, and 26.6% of whom identified as nonbinary. Of the respondents, 12.8% had undergone gender-affirming surgery at least two years prior and 59.2% wanted to undergo surgery but had not done so yet.

    Gender-affirming surgeries were associated with a 42% reduction in psychological distress and a 44% reduction in suicidal ideation when compared with transgender and gender-diverse people who had not had gender-affirming surgery but wanted it, according to the findings. The study also found a 35% reduction in tobacco smoking among people who had gender-affirming surgeries.

    “Going into this study, we certainly did believe that the gender-affirming surgeries would be protective against adverse mental health outcomes,” lead author Anthony Almazan, an MPH candidate at Harvard Chan School, said in an April 28, 2021, HealthDay article. “I think we were pleasantly surprised by the strength of the magnitudes of these associations, which really are very impressive and, in our opinion, speaks to the importance of gender-affirming surgery as medically necessary treatment for transgender and gender diverse people who are seeking out this kind of affirmation.”

    CHANGE: When Harry became Sally: Parents have a right to know. “The key issue is'”whether schools can socially transition students identifying as transgender while concealing it, or related counseling, from parents,’ Rotherham writes. The old guidelines under Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, let teachers decide. The new guidelines, under Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin say parents must be informed.”

    PARENTS ARE BEATING GROOMER SCHOOLS

    NOW TRY JUST TEACHING CHILDREN CORE ACADEMICS.

    Hardly irrelevant. It indicates that if we can rescue transgenders and return them to normality, their risk of suicide declines dramatically. Medical intervention removes that possibility.

    You didn’t read the first article, it’s just opinion.

    Sociopaths happen in the gene pool as well, are they normal?

    These tests are not the equivalent of the definition of intelligence you quoted above.

    "Rescue and return to normality"? How is that done? What are you talking about.

    I just gave you your own arguement.

    Don’t you believe in science?
