In government class a while ago, I learned that being gay isn't a choice, but rather a chemical imbalance that people are born with. If this is the case, why is Bush anti-gay? Isn't unconstitutional to deprive equals of their rights? Can't he be impeached for this? Laws cannot possibally be passed if they're considered unconstitutional... right?
Anyone else think that Bush is taking steps towards a dictatorship? He's going against the foundation of out country

I cannot imagine anyone choosing to be gay, where your chances of being ridiculed, put down, ostracized, murdered and shunned go way up.

I've never heard the chemical imbalance theory before--though it does have a certain 19th Century ring to it. Current research points more and more to homosexuality being genetic in nature.
As to the rest...prejudice is prejudice. Unfortunately,the nature of the American legal system is that unless laws are written in such a way as to specifically protect people, there are individuals and groups who will willingly sump on others to the extent thay can get away with. Even then, it take s one hell of a long time to break these peoples' habits once the laws *are* changed...
Bush a wannabe dictator? I don't think so, but I do believe that there are forces withing the conservative movement that would like nothing more that to take and keep sole power in perpetuity

i don't really know the answer to this, but here are some observations. in most pre judeo/christian societies and societies that were isolated from the west, bi-sexuality seems to be the norm. far from being 'unnatural' homosexuality is widespread amongst most mammals and birds, (including a couple of gay penguins at Berlin zoo). i spent most of my holidays on my grandfathers farm when i was a kid, so i can vouch for that fact. in my view exclusive heterosexuality is as 'unnatural as exclusive homosexuality. it is my belief, and it's only based on my deductions, that at a very early age we form an 'understanding' of the world and that includes our sexuality. this is probably done subconsciously, ( or better still unwittingly), at some point when our sexuality is forming we are tipped in one direction or another by the circumstances we find ourself in and form our understanding with our childish minds. this probably includes sexual fetishes and paedophilia. but the predominant weight of our society pushes us towards heterosexuality. there maybe, in my opinion, some general genetic basis for sexual choices but i don't think it is specifically homosexual. all in all, it's not really a choice, but a natural process of coming to terms with the environment you find yourself in. look up some good anthropology books and Greek and roman history and you will find that homosexuality was an everyday thing.

Well congratulations for taking in the fact that homosexuality is not a choice.
Unfortunately man seems to progress in a strange fashion. We can send men into space to conquer the unknown, however we seem unable to come to terms with something that is as old as man!
