New Gay Gene Evidence
http://www.365gay.com/newscontent/102003gayGene.htm

Evidence continues to mount that sexuality is genetically controlled. The latest findings were reported today by researchers from the University of California.

The scientists, in a statement, said that sexual identity is "hard-wired" into the genes.

"Sexual identity is rooted in every person's biology before birth and springs from a variation in our individual genome," said Dr. Eric Vilain, a genetics professor at the UCLA School of Medicine.

2. Seems fairly obvious to me...
I mean, who hear can honestly say that they pick and choose who they are attracted to sexually? No one. It seems, then, that that is hardwired into our genes as well - why is it so farfetched that homoesexuality could be in there as well?

(Answer: it's not, it's just idiot readers of Paul who think that all gays ar evil)

3. "It's never easy to say this,...
...Bill, but, I'm sorry......you're gay."

"Huh? Whaddaya mean, doc?"

"Bill, we tested your genes. You tested positive for being gay."

Sigh. "Well, Doc, I'm glad you told me....I had no idea."

4. I once had a pair of gay genes
but I sold them for some warmup pants for basketball. Anyway, I believe that we are predisposed to sexual identity. I don't think a man wakes up one morning next to his wife and say, "I think I will start to suck c**k instead!"

5. Hilariously put!
.....and his wife said, I think I will start eating C**t.

Whatever is alright with me, I'm all for guy rights. As long as they know their freedom ends where my nose begins.
