Sometimes, I sit around my little bohemian getaway, thinking about the future and things.
Last night, it occurred to me that all this exploration into nature, genetics and science is gonna produce a whole-helluva lotta trouble in days to come. Especially for the gay babies of the future.
Scientists are busy these days trying to prove that gay is “natural” by proving that something genetic creates man-on-man action and that ladies-loving-ladies is linked to a particular swirl of DNA.
I think this is misguided thinking and I think we should stop trying to determine what it is that makes someone gay. I think it is much more important for research to begin immediately into what makes someone a boring, idiotic, evil asshole.
This new research will cut across all agendas and platforms. The genetic tests will decode what gene creates…oh…let’s say Bob Mackie or what genes create Karl Rove. These new discoveries would determine if your child will be born to be an Angry Black Bitch or Ann Coulter.
The day will come when happy parents-to-be will be sitting around the Petri dish making some very important determinations about their children. Oh, look – your child will make fabulous beaded gowns and give a shit about other people or will engage on vitriolic, destructive hateful self-serving assholish behavior.
If and when the day comes, what choice would you make?
Now… I know that folks will get all bent out of shape by this new level of scientific research.
But it seems to me that some of us on the left that are clamoring for independent research and examination and “proof” of our identity have forgotten that once someone can prove why we exist – that some folks will choose to make sure we cannot exist at all.
Save the gay babies – and save them today!

That could pose an conundrum... would some people who fight to make women give birth to legitimately disabled children really make an exception for abortion? Or maybe suggest keeping and loving them despite less than desirable (in their eyes) genetic qualities. Interesting...

personally, i vote for the beaded gowns any day.
but you know, i also get angry at people for being openly prejudiced against others.
