Fine with me as long as they pull their weight
I concur. Also knowing medicine, engineering, or even firearms is a plus. I happen to know a guy who is gay, who is really into firearms, preparedness, and training. I didn't even know he was guy until he told me months after we had been to a political rally. I was in shock. It happens to him a lot, as there is nothing about him in the way he acts, talks, or any other indicator that he is gay. You'd never know it if he didn't tell you. I usually have good gay-dar as well. Well it failed. He's a pilot as well. I could see how that could come in handy as well.
those people are everywhere. this is exactly why I can't help but [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at at people who see homosexuality as a "defect"..
(no offense Ken, just being honest here)
there's a large demographic of gays who want to "identify" with a community, so they go to extremes to alter the way they talk, act, dress, behave.. etc. just like soft suburban white kids who pretend they're "from the streets" and act all "gangsta"...they want to identify with a trend that happens to be popular at the moment.
I think this even goes further to prove my point against Ken's argument. if it's genetic, then why do these kids talk, and act perfectly normal like any other kid, and then at a certain part in their life, they all the sudden start talking "gay"... their parents didn't talk that way, they LEARNED to talk that way from the group of people that they want to identify with.
I personally know a dude (half brother of one of my ex girlfriends) that was as normal as a middle class white kid could be, and he "came out" when he was about 19 yrs old and over the next several months after that, he gradually became a STEREOTYPICAL gay dude. limp wrist, "fashion sense", talking with a lisp, the whole 9 yards. there's nothing genetic about that. he went out of his way to behave that way so he could identify with the larger community. (and btw, he SWEARS that he was born that way...)
anyway.. my whole point in this thread is that regardless what the real reasons for homosexuality are, either way, they're still people and they're still capable of everything that anyone else is capable of.
