I fear you don’t understand natural selection. Sickle-cell anemia persists because the more frequent heterozygotes are better off on the whole where malaria is common; that is, there’s a reproductive advantage for the _species_ as a whole, even though recessive homozygotes get a very raw deal indeed. I’m not asserting that homosexuality is necessarily analogous, but sickle-cell anemia shows that your (commonly seen) attempt at a quick disproof that homosexuality is inherited is invalid.

Despite their bad press, stereotypes are pretty much true.

And I don’t see why lack of control should be any more of a problem for homosexuals than for heterosexuals. If restraint matters–and it does–then it matters to all of us. If society won’t encourage restraint, then all of us suffer.

Ever since he announced, in that infamous press conference, that he was a “gay American,” actual gay Americans have had conflicting opinions about Jim McGreevey. We can’t seem to decide whether to ridicule him as the corrupt hack that he is or welcome him with open arms into gaydom.

I have no problem with this whatsoever. McGreevey is a corrupt hack who should be ridiculed for hiding under the doubtful term “gay American” for his irresponsible behavior and lack of control in public office.

In other words, “Waah! Gay people are victims too! Everybody hates gay people!”

I don’t agree with that lifestyle, and I don’t want it preached to me or my kids, but I don’t hate gay people. Mr. Kirchick doesn’t stop to think that these things are suffered because gay people know they are wrong. For people who believe in Darwinism, they have some serious cognitive dissonance. Darwin tells them they are wrong, but they still champion their cause as something “natural”. If it were natural, gay people could procreate. Hello!

The real reason for this “gay pain” is that they know what they are doing is morally wrong. Yep, morally wrong. They feel guilty about it, but they have put so much into keeping up this lifestyle that damaging themselves is the only way they can act out.

And now a Democrat politician has used this gay victimitis to get out of a sticky spot. He knows Republicans won’t pick on gay people, and Democrats worship them. Just desserts.

His inability to control his homosexual impulses were the root cause of his character failures and willingness to violate the public trust. Giving patronage jobs to his sexual partners is an entirely different level of depravity than Spitzer’s hookups. More than just meeting his personal sexual ‘need’, McGreevy corrupted both the office of Governor (with his hiring practices) and the sanctity of marriage (with his menage-a-trois) .
