There is almost no chance there is just one "gay gene".

No, no. Stick with a male to male ticket. Not trying to sound sexist, but wait until we have a real popular woman to put on the ticket. A governor, who is a 45 year old, attractive woman, then run her.

No. Terminating a fetus is never acceptable, and certainly not because his or her parents want to control their child's sexual preferences before he or she is even born.

The question I see asks primarily whether doctors should be allowed to "search" for the gene, and I don't see a problem with that any more than when they determine the baby's gender.

There’s no longer any left or right. There’s the system and the enemies of the system.

Yes, I am against restrictions on abortions of every kind after the 6th month. It's a womans body, not the governments.

Well, first, in my country abortion is legal and as far as today I don't want to contest it. Second, yes, a searcher can search. Third, i also very doubt homosexuality is due to a 'gene of homosexuality'.

I do believe homosexuals are born as such, but it's probably more a hormonal thing, which is why homosexual men act femine, and homosexual women act masculine.

I would have no problem in getting rid of a 'gay gene' if a thing existed, but absolutely not in the case that it would potentially kill the baby. I don't have anything against gays and I've always felt a little bisexual myself but it is not natural. If it could be cured, practically all gays would line up to get rid of it.

That's just the sterotypes. The majority don't. I'm a gay male, and i'm pretty masculine, i.e. i like football (soccer), i play video games, etc.

Sorry if I was offensive, I don't know that many homosexuals, so I really shouldn't be making statements like that. It was just a theory though.

That doesn't make you masculine. I don't do either of those things and I'm pretty masculine. masculinity is a behavior that can't really be "faked."
