Attn: Heterosexuals? Does this presume all heteros are against gay marriage?
In a few years there will be hormone injections that turn Gays straight, and Gays wont even exist.

From The Times
December 10, 2007
The sexual preferences of fruit flies have been switched from gay to straight and back again with drugs and genetic engineering.
Scientists in the US found that a mutation in a gene known as “gender-blind”, or GB, can make flies bisexual, and that manipulating its activity can switch this sexual trait on and off.
That sign is great, but I'd change the top headline to: "Attention Religious People" (Because they surely all are against gay marriage)
Any gay person that is part of a religious community and say "God loves us all for who we are" are in freaking denial.
jterry: fruit flies do not have a psyche, humans do. you're assuming that human sexuality has everything to do with hormones. if that were true, there would probably be stories of lots of trannies seeing a change in their sexual preferences from their hormone treatments. outside of jerry springer, that doesn't happen.
it would take a lot more than hormones, and a lot more than a few years.
They already have hormone treatments for sex change operations that turn Men into Women- turning gays straight will be even easier. Gays will be extinct soon
There will be hormone injections that turn gays straight sooner than there will gay marriage in Amercica- California Arizona & Florida have banned it already.
In sex change operations they already use hormones to make men into women - turning gays straight would be even easier. Gays will be extinct soon
"Attention Religious People" (Because they surely all are against gay marriage)
Blame Mormons. Blame religious people. But don't blame the people that actually went into the polls in California and voted against gay marriage.
The is no "sex change". Sex is determined by chromosomes and surgical mutilation will not change that. You are the sex you were born and people who feel like one trapped in the other's body need psychiatric care not a scalpel and a bunch of chemicals shot into their veins.
Turning Gays straight is just like flipping a genetic switch- easy as pie
jterry - are you fucking serious? you want taxpayer money going to fund stopdicksucking juice?
Why do gays act like being gay is such a positive thing? If the entire world was gay, Humans would refuse to reproduce and the Human species would become EXTINCT.
@jterry121
You are like my really old grandfather at holidays.
He keeps saying the same stupid thing over and over again hoping that he will somehow become relevant again or at least until someone pays attention to him.
When they finally do pay attention to him its to wipe the drool off his face or change his diaper.
'Nuff said
Protesting for Gay Marriage is pointless for 2 big reasons.
1. All of America will vote to ban gay marriage just like California, Arizona & Florida have
2. They will soon creat hormone treatments will turn gays straight making the gay community EXTINCT
I get a laugh every time I hear a gay person denigrate straights as "breeders." Each and every one of them owes their existence to heterosexuality. Perhaps that's what is at the root of their pyschological derangement besides the self-loathing.
haha, fruit flies.
I get it: jterry121 hates gays. You know, most homophobia is internalized sexual angst and insecurity. Maybe jterry121 never got over those gym teacher dreams.
Anyone know where the bathroom is in here, I have to shi*
Oh before I go in with my newspaper to the potty, the African American & Latino - Latina - Whatever voters in cali seem to be the problem - they believe in conservative values.
those voters are such a hoot ha...
Yep, nothing says "rational thinker" like lobbying for the extinction of an entire class of your fellow man. I'd delve further, but I'd rather not invoke Godwin.
They used the Obama campaign's standard font: Gotham.
16 toes? Melamine: is there anything it doesn't make better?!
>If the entire world was gay, Humans
>would refuse to reproduce and the
>Human species would become EXTINCT.
Yes, because the only way people reproduce these days is through the act of a man and a woman having sexual intercourse, the product of which is then carried to term by that same woman.
I'm not saying I'd be in favor of this sci-fi all-gay society (unless it's ruled by mutant cyborg ninjas), but I just want jterry121 to rest easy at night knowing that, thanks to medical science, it wouldn't result in the extinction of the species.
