I was just joking. I did not see it negatively at all. I considered him a good friend. But if he was respecting my boundaries he would not have cracked his ridiculously large and very loud component stereo system while I was trying to sleep lol.

"Fixing" them? Really? "Fixing"? No, just, ...no. I'm sorry, but it is the same thing. It is not "only natural" to have a liking for the opposite sex. There are several species in the world that have and prefer homosexual relationships to heterosexual ones. That means that homosexual orientations are, indeed, natural.

I have already refuted animal homosexuality on the other thread. Stop repeating yourself. Besides your argument is invalid since you have ignored my statement about Hamer's study.

It is rude. Extremely rude. Glaringly rude. And no, it was not rude for someone to hit on you, unless you would think it rude as well for a woman to hit on you. If a woman could make a pass at you and you not consider it rude then it isn't rude for a man to. No one knows for sure, just by appearances, what orientation someone is. Often people are just taking a chance. Or, perhaps, you may be exuding something about you that others perceive to be an indicator of homosexuality. Who knows? Either way, whether it is a man or a woman, shouldn't a pass at you simply be taken as a compliment as long as it isn't sleazy?

Yes it is rude because I'm not gay. Gays shouldn't be making passes on straight people, especially if they know that they are straight which is almost always the case. With as much civility as I can muster, you are being openly rude to me by telling me I need to be accepting of homosexual passes toward my person. It is disrespectful to be justifying such behavior.

You don't really think that some species prefer homosex, do you? How will a species survive on homosex alone? Doesn't make sense nor is it natural.

I ignore tripe. You have refuted nothing as you cannot refute fact.

Would it be considered rude of you to make a pass at a woman who happens to be a lesbian? Most people, straight or gay, do not intentionally make passes at those they know are of the wrong orientation. So it is just likely that perhaps, if a gay guy does make a pass at you that he is either just taking his chances that you might be gay or he just thinks you are gay. Perhaps you had put something out about yourself that made him think so. It's not like everyone carries signs you know. We all go off of little things, body language, and the like. You could read a woman wrong, make a pass, and she turns out to be lesbian. Does that make the pass you made inherently rude?

It is neither disrespectful nor rude to point out what I have. They are merely facts. If you have issues with facts then that is your problem, not mine. I will not stop stating facts simply because you are uncomfortable with them and want to maintain a certain level of deniability.

Individuals within many species are homosexual. Not entire species. Homosexuality has been shown in several apes, even in some birds and more. It is not some deviant behavior in humans, some mental illness, nor some sin. It is just a natural state of being.

I have argued this very point all over the web for years, but there are people who, for whatever reason, do not accept biological fact.

No, homosexuality is found in nature, therefore it is natural. That is the definition of natural. Besides, homosexuals in species provide a service. Aside from population control by not reproducing, they are known to take in abandoned or orphaned offspring of others more readily than heterosexuals of a species. Usually because the heterosexuals are already tending to offspring. So the benefit of homosexuality is two-fold right there.

Personally, I don't approach women to make passes on them. And no, I would not approach a lesbian and make a pass on them.

It would depend on how she'd take it. If I made a pass on a lesbian who showed no outward expression that she was gay and revealed to me that she was gay, I'd humbly apologize to her, but like I said, I don't make passes on people I don't know.

The "tripe" as you call it was fact actually, as all I did was reinstate Wikipedia. Xq28 is a coregulator, not a gene. Ask any geneticist. I think you have an emotional bias on your liberalism. It's called cognitive dissonance.

Yeah.... "facts", lol.

One of my best friends is gay. As a result, I've been out with him to gay clubs more often than I can count. 9 times out of 10, at least one man will hit on me. My usual response is to thank them, but explain that I'm straight. I certainly don't get offended or upset about it, in fact I find it quite flattering. I also don't want to lead anybody on, so a polite, to the point answer is all that's needed.

You're straight, but you go to gay clubs? Sounds like you're confused.
