All can be happy and gay: A win-win situation!

In the June issue of Discover Magazine, it was reported that

  • Whether or not a gay gene, a set of gay genes, or some other biological mechanism is ever found, one thing is clear: The environment a child grows up in has nothing to do with what makes most gay men gay. Two of the most convincing studies have proved conclusively that sexual orientation in men has a genetic cause.

  • William Reiner, a psychiatrist at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, explored the question of environmental influences on sexuality with a group that had been surgically shifted from boys to girls. These boys had been born with certain genital deformities; because it is easier to fashion a vagina than a penis, the boys were surgically made into girls at birth. In many cases they were raised as girls, kept in the dark about the surgery, and thought themselves female long into adulthood. Invariably, Reiner found that the faux females ended up being attracted to women. If societal nudging was what made men gay, at least one of these boys should have grown up to be attracted to men. There is no documented case of that happening.

  • The second study was an examination of twins by psychologist Michael Bailey of Northwestern University. Among identical twins, he found that if one was gay, the other had a 50 percent chance of also being gay. Among fraternal twins, who do not share the same DNA, there was only a 20 percent chance.

  • At first glance, those results seem to suggest that at least some homosexuality must not be genetic. Identical twins have the same genes, right? How could one turn out gay and the other not gay as often as 50 percent of the time? There are many other traits that are not always the same in identical twins, however, like eye color and fingerprints. The interesting question is, how do any of these major differences arise between two products of the same code?

Before gays out there think that they can use this to bloster their case to repeal Section 377A, think again. Or maybe think many many many times. According to wikipedia,

People go hunt and burn witches for 250 years, you all only got "hunted" for a few generation in Singapore only, where got so easy can siam this? When such people go hunting, they heck care everything one. They just want to hunt you!

So when you all do things, must cleber abit. I read this book by millionaire real estate investor Robert G. Allen. He says must create win-win situation then can. No win-win equal no good.

So now you all ask me how can you all let them hunt you and yet you all still end up winning. Actually quite easy one lah, easy peasy. Just pull a stunt on them.

Tell them about this secret (also found in the same article in Discover Magazine)

  • The model shows that over centuries an effect you might call the homophobe’s paradox has been at work on the human genome: The more intolerant the society, the more likely it is to maintain gay genes. If a society’s conventions keep homosexuals in the closet, then they will be more likely to conform, get married, and have children. This is especially true if gay genes are also responsible for making women more fecund. Imagine, for instance, that for every extra child that such a gay gene–carrying woman has, a gay man can have one fewer and the balance necessary for the survival of the gene is still maintained. The more children he has, thanks to what his contemporaries demand of him, the less evolutionary pressure there is for his female counterpart to have more. “As a society becomes more intolerant, there’s more pressure to have offspring,” says Gavrilets. “The real [evolutionary] cost of being homosexual isn’t too big if you’re forced to have kids.” On the other hand, the more tolerant the society, the more gay men can be free to be who they are, so the more likely they will be childless—and the more difficult it will be for any female in the family to make up for the loss.

So now your hunters will be bery bery high already, got a method to get rid of gays and yet no need to be afraid that people call them homophobic or bigots or whatever bad things lah. They will take away Section 377A and also allow you all to get married. They might even get the gahmen to have a "gay marriage bonus" to encourage more gays to get married.

Win-win situation right? Next time when you all get married, just remember to send me part of your "gay marriage bonus" can already lah.
