Even if biological, God still hates Gays

Problems for who? And where would you draw the line at this kind of genetic tampering? Have you ever seen the movie Gattaca by any chance?

That's hardly the same situation. In Gattaca the valids were pretty much superior in every way to the in-valids, because the tampering was selective. If everybody gets fixed, then they're all on a level playing field again, so to speak.

A "cure" for homosexuality eerily poses the same moral questions that were raised around the mutant "cure" in X-Men: III.

I believe that was entirely intentional, actually.

There are other solutions to the homosexual problem you know.

What homosexual problem? The problem is tolerance, not homosexuality.

Mind you, if homosexual orientation is in fact genetic and can be changed to a heterosexual orientation via genetic manipulation, the 'solution' may be already made by force of society's interia.

I mean let's face it, even the existence of the most liberal and accepting parents doesn't mean they would want gay children, even if they would readily accept them when they didn't have a choice in the matter.

Ironically, I'd quip that there may be one instance where choosing the orientation for your child (namely: ensuring their staunch heterosexuality) may be justified in SOME instances.

Which ones? Well, quite obviously, to the parents of people like Southern Baptists. After all, if they're GOING to raise their children on a diet of fundamentalist Christianity and 'homosexuals are immoral' then we might as well give them the power to NOT raise a self-loathing, closeted, homophobic homosexual: a future Ted Haggard. IF they must raise brainwashed kids, we can at least give the option not to screw their child out of any happiness whatsoever in their life.

Kind of a dreary example, but the world's far from perfect.

Realistically I think that it's a moot point anyway. I don't believe sexuality is that simple. I believe that there are a sizeable portion of people that could and will swing both ways. There are also straight people that dabble in the right circumstances. There are some people that have been straight their entire life and have allowed a completely happenstance sexual situation happen. You will NEVER be able to completely rule out all types of homosexual behaviour.

Sex is a very nebulous thing and what turns people on can vary greatly from individual to individual and can also change at any time within their lifetime. Granted there may BE a type of genetics involved for the hardcore 100% homosexual ones, but there are a hell of a lot of people in the middle of the spectrum that run up and down the scale of Kinsey.

It will never be wiped out of the human race. It cannot be "controlled", and the only solution to the problem is to call the homophobic bigots, the religious not-rights, and every other misguided individual that they are WRONG to judge people for their sexual choices. It's the only fair and justifiable way of the future whether they like it or not.

Not quite the same, mutants can be extremely dangerous. The point raised about how democracy cannot exist when one man is capable of destroying cities at a whim is quite valid. Homosexuals, on the other hand, are no more dangerous than any other person.

That's patently absurd. Homosexuals aren't walking strategic weapons stockpiles.

This is where someone comes bursting in ranting about how the government created AIDS.

Langley, Virginia *ominous thunderclap*

Agent: "Sir! The queers are spreading the weapon to good, ordinary straight people!

Director: "Disable the trigger! Quarantine all known vectors!

Agent: "We can't!"

Director: "No! WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE!?"

Right, that's it. The bullshit has been split to the HoS for the treatment it so richly deserves.

Thanks Keev.

And yes, I think X-Men was made to show how patently absurd and bigoted on its face any sort of institutionalized special treatment for gay people is. A mutant can potentially be more powerful than a nuclear weapon; a gay person cannot be.
