How would the "gay gene" affect gay marriage?

[MrsSmith]

Somebody ate a monkey without cooking it fully is the far more likely scenario.

If there is a gay gene curing somebody would be impossible. You cant ex post facto mess around with somebodies genes. The real issue is what amounts to "vaccinations."

God you guys are ignorant.

Says the guy who can't spell or punctuate... :D

But you can never be too sure, those monkeys are pretty fine.

That's why it is a "what if" question. I think you smart people call it hypothetical. Maybe you'll learn it in a later semester. By the way, what are you majoring in?

AIDs was supposedly created from the relations between a man (or woman) and a monkey. You could make the case that we should be careful who we have sex with... but it just isn't pragmatic.

AIDS came monkeys, but not necessarily through human sexual contact with monkeys. Monkey kidneys were used to make polio vaccines-tainted monkeys were used at a lab in Stanleytown (when the lab ran out of the tested, disease-free monkeys, they started using non-tested local monkeys), not far from where the first HIV/AIDS cases were discovered, in the late 50s, early 60s.

Where the Rev.Wrights of the world get it wrong is in blaming the US for this. It falls under the responsibility of the organization (and it was not the US government) that was using the facility for producing the vaccine for using untested monkeys and then vaccinating the locals who didn't know to ask questions. There's a documentary about it-Salk was aware of the problem with the tainted vaccine, he was highly critical of the german doctor who used it, and had likely connected the dots before he died, as he was working on research into possible vaccinations for AIDS/HIV.

I think the documentary is called "The Orgin Of AIDS". I saw it on cable about a year or so ago.

Let's say one day in the near future the "gay gene" is found. Shortly thereafter, a "cure" is found. Of course. not everybody will accept this cure. Would all you bleeding heart, rainbow shitting liberals then stop defending gay marriage? Because obviously, it would then be a choice.

There is no 'Gay Gene' it's all about choice !

You dont put a space before an exclamation point megimoo.

You dont put a space before an exclamation point megimoo.

But you do put an apostrophe in "don't" and should have a comma between "point" and "Megimoo", so what is the point of that observation?

Remember FruityNuts? If there were a gay gene, it would have to be a recessive, not a dominant. He swore he had 3 brothers, all gay except one. For 75% of one couple's children to be gay due to a genetic reason, both parents would have to be gay, also. Yet there Mom and Dad were... still happily married. There is no gay gene.

Although I don't really believe in a "gay gene", this doesn't make sense. There is a couple that live a few blocks from me. Both are "normal" but three of their children are afflicted with albinism. Yes, I studied those little 4 square things in genetics but occasionally the 25% chance increases.

Don't look at MSNBC online right now. There's a glaring spelling error on their main page.
