I'm pretty sure most people know they are gay straight or bisexual, and if anything changes down the line, that is fine as well, you of all people should be happy if your son decides he wants to be straight later on in life lol
No, they really don't. *** and the behaviors surrounding it are lands where dragons still exist.
The fact that people change their sexual preferences later in life brings into question the idea that anyone is "a" homosexual - or that homosexuals represent a static demographic of individuals.
For example - all of those studies that suggest different neurological function of homosexuals... what if they change their sexuality later on? Does their neurology go back to the way it was? Or were the studies wrong in their findings?
It's still an area with a lot of massive question marks in simply identifying who is and who is not a homosexual, especially given that there are people who claim to 'always feel wrong' in heterosexual relationships before going into homosexual relationships.
Fairly reliable only in some cases, and even in studies that have been done on large groups of homosexuals, there's been studies done to validate the authenticity of their answers, and a large portion of them admitted to falsifying that information, because it is more socially accepted for them to be a victim, rather than being who they are.
Pics or it didn't happen.
The other problem is that I specifically cited a set of studies that do not ask about abuse. They ask about the age where they had their first sexual encounter. Homosexual populations in these types of studies have a median age of their first sexual encounter between the years of ten and twelve, while heterosexuals between the years of fourteen and sixteen.
This age is critical, as sexual encounters before the age of fourteen tend to indicate abuse.
lol Have you talked to most of the parents of todays day and age? Most of them had children by accident, so to say they had children to succeed them is kind of false.
From where do you get your information?
The fact of the matter is that women are more likely to consent to *** during periods of ovulation. They are more likely to commit to extra-marital affairs during ovulation, and are more likely to omit protection during ovulation (as well as to crave internal ejaculation). This is the natural course of things. The fact that today's generations have been raised feral does not change why we do the things we do, it simply changes our standards.
Not to mention, homosexuals can adopt or even have a surrogate mother carry their child. I don't see the problem here, but I'm sure you do!
For all your rambling about science and studies, you're quite ignorant of the subject.
The Red Queen. Look it up.
See, you and I are not so much individuals as we are vehicles for a greedy algorithm that produced the DNA we carry. Our purpose is, first and foremost, to ensure that strand of DNA survives into another generation. At least, within the context of the laws of physics.
Adoption is something that evolved out of politics - tribalism. By adopting individuals into your tribe, you reinforce the political standing of your succeeding DNA. Just because the algorithm is greedy does not mean it only produces maliciousness. When you take other individuals under your care, place them under your tribal name, and place your biological children at the head of that family, you still serve to strengthen your DNA. Having successful adopted children is as beneficial as having successful biological children.
The thing is, however, that adoption does not, in and of itself, satisfy the purpose of our physical existence.
A surrogate mother does theoretically resolve the problem, but this is an exceptionally rare number of cases.
Now you're using information based off of limited studies as fact, homosexuality is not as prevalent with abuse as you claim it to be, there are countless studies the contradict those studies as well, homosexuals are more likely to succeed as parents, homosexuals are often more wealthy then better off then heterosexuals, etc. Anyone can pull a study from google scholars and use it to their benefit.
This is, also, not true.
Homosexuals are far more likely to experience and to commit domestic violence against their partners. Male homosexuals, especially, are very likely to be involved in *** with multiple partners and to have sexual encounters outside the relationship. They are far more likely to suffer from various psychological disorders.
As far as "successful as parents" - that is such a vague term that it has no quantifiable metric by which to assess parents. Do the children of homosexuals score higher on some kind of test? Is there a happy-o-meter they plug themselves into at McDonalds'? What is "successful as parent?"
What is even more curious about that claim is, based upon the small percentage of homosexuals... and the much larger percentage of heterosexuals with children... this implies a very high rate of parental failures and children who are failed.
Who are they and what information exists about their demographic?
The main problem with suicide rates and homosexuality is the same as it is with bullying, with a side effect of a socially unaccepted lifestyle and social oppression. With as much hate for an individual, bullying and being socially unaccepted, lack of empathy and help, someone is bound to push themselves to that point. I could bet my bottom dollar that once it is more accepted, there won't be as many suicides, that's easy to project.
Incorrect.

If your hypothesis has merit, we would expect to see a correlation between the attitudes toward homosexuality and the suicide rate of homosexuals.
We do not see this. Nor do we see any change in the trend from country to country regardless of how homosexuality is perceived.
While it may be a contributing factor - there is far more to the picture than: "*****, I'm fabulous - it's you all who have the problem."
OK, so I was being a little judgmental, but come on, a 17 year old girl has no business getting pregnant, and if it ever did happen to my daughter, I would be upset, but be there for her the best way I know how.
There is a reason why girls begin seeking sexual activity around the age of 14. That used to be around the age of adulthood within society.
What we regard as "high school" in today's society is closer to the position of a college back in the 1800s, except you actually learned stuff back then. When the government took it over, the point was to try and give everyone 'free' access to college education.... and the attempt failed miserably. So we send kids to school for four extra years (or keep them busy coloring with crayons for four extra years in grade school, depending upon how you want to look at it) and then send them off to 'real school' (that has, now, also been taken over by the government and reduced to an abysmal waste of time and money) where they can 'really' learn something.
Fact of the matter is that 14 year olds built their own damned house back in the 1800s. Nothing has changed since then other than our perception of what a 14 year old is supposed to do in life. Today's 14 year olds would be just as capable of handling themselves if that is how they were raised.
Now, I agree - most women are not of a mindset for being a mother at 17 years old. Most women these days are not in the mindset of being a mother, at all. Hence why we have so many feral children who are little more than barbarians. That said - it's not any great mystery of the cosmos as to what happened, why it happened, and that it was possible for it to happen.
But if I had to choose, I'm definitely picking the gay son, who is unencumbered by your stereotypical statistics on how most homosexuals have been sexually abused (probably by a "heterosexual", but that's for another argument). He has no extra baggage, its like asking would you rather raise a pregnant girl or a son lol ridiculous, and so are you.
This is what I meant by your divisive nature.
The homosexual is the only one who you believe to be inclusive. The homosexual is more human than the girl who got pregnant.
You said it, yourself: "Would you rather raise a pregnant girl or a son?" The pregnant girl is this thing. The homosexual boy is your son.
To prefer the daughter to the son in your mind is to prefer a thing to a human, because you have endowed homosexuals with more virtue than pregnant teenagers.
Let's re-word the question.
You have a pregnant daughter and a homosexual son. Both are in a situation where only one will survive. Which one would you prefer survive?
Now, since I've already discussed the divisive nature of your mind - I've tampered with how you are likely to answer (and to even perceive the way in which you would answer). But the fact of the matter is that when your ilk has been put into the test of office, you have always killed millions for the sake of advancing the virtues of some victim class or another over the average person.
No matter how ridiculous you may state me to be...
The fact of the matter is that you reveal your own audacity.
You want a homosexual son to advance your own agenda. You want to raise a homosexual free from everything you blame for your own shortcomings to prove that anyone who dare criticized you is wrong. Your soul is filled with contempt and vitriol for the life around you.
Which is exactly why you will be a curse upon any life you attempt to raise. You, and your vicarious nature, are completely unconstrained and liberated from the bounds of historical ethics. You are something new and know better than thousands of years of humans who came before you.
On the other hand, I see both individuals within the proper context of their human development. Both are equally human. Both are equally valid as human entities. True - the homosexual may void his/her legacy by not procreating, but that is not absolute within my context, and it is also constrained to the concept of inheritance and evolution. It doesn't mean the individual is less of an existence in the here and now.
