Actually, there are quite a few baseless opinions out there.
But just because somebody believes it doesn't make it true. Gosh, we've been here before. Do you have short term memory loss, Sir Mensa?
There's more proof against it being hardwired than there is for it, and I've listed several prestigious sources which agree. I'm a little unclear on the whole, "gayness is hardwired" is NOT an opinion but fact, while "gayness is not hardwired" backed up by science is opinion.
Christian discrimination in schools. Back in a flash.

School asks student to replace Bible reading with book about witches

In one Pennsylvania public school, reading from the Bible is forbidden -- but reading about witches and Halloween is encouraged.
Wesley Busch is a kindergarten student at Culbertson Elementary School in Newton Square, Pennsylvania -- and all he wanted to do was have his mother read aloud from his favorite book, the Bible. The book reading was part of a classroom assignment called "All About Me," the purpose of which was to provide students an opportunity to identify individual interests and learn about each other through the use of items such as stuffed animals, posters, books and other mediums.
Jeremy Tedesco, legal counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), says the school district had a big problem with Wesley's favorite book. "When Wesley told his mom 'I want you to read the Bible, that's my favorite book,' the school said no -- even though they let every other book reading go forward," the attorney explains. "And even though they told Mrs. Busch 'no, you can't read the Bible,' [they said] 'but here, read this book on witches and Halloween instead,'" says Tedesco.
In May, a federal court sided with the school and the case is now on appeal. Tedesco says public school officials need to understand that Christian students cannot be treated as second-class citizens.
"The lower court's decision said that it was okay to restrict the Bible. But the bottom line is that Christian students and their parents aren't second-class citizens at school, and shouldn't be discriminated against based on their religious speech that they want to engage in when they're invited to engage in private expression," he says.
According to ADF, although reading from the Bible was forbidden the teacher allowed another parent to discuss the Jewish religious holidays of Passover and Hanukkah with the class.

And the Chicago Sun-Times ran a story about a school in Illinois that tried to eradicate any reference/symbol of Christmas because it was offensive to Muslims.
"Earlier this month, the district's top official called on principals to tone down holiday celebrations after complaints the activities offend some Muslim families."

They changed their tune. But if there hadn't been a huge outcry, they would have just done it.
Yes, no one is responsible for their own behavior, if they are a member of the Left's preferred victim classes.
I suspect Matt Shepard went looking for rough trade, and found it.
One of the facts about homosexuality is that it involves throwing off various social restraints, starting with choice of sexual partner, but not ending there.
That's why a lot of people don't want to start treating it as just another "choice". Choose it, and all the other boundary-breaking behaviors that seem to go along with it, if you want to, but don't make us "celebrate" it.
By the way, I absolutely would agree that propositioning rednecks does not deserve the death penalty -- or even a beating. His murderers should have been strapped in the electric chair and fried.
you didn't get beaten because dinner was late to the table.
Apparently, some of us tend to think that having dinner on the table at the correct time would have been the responsible thing to do in order to keep from being beaten...
Doug's answer took me by surprise, I must admit. Usually, his posts are a leaf from a different tree. I was kinda surprised to see him run to the "lefty this lefty that" routine.
I was kind of surprised at that myself. For some reason the whole concept that homosexuals are entitled to what everyone else is seems to be too much for some people to take. No matter how smart and reasonable they usually are.
Yes there are. Hence the difference between "can, and usually are" and always.
Just because something is based on facts doesn't make it true either. Gosh, no we haven't been here before. Do you have a problem understanding simple logic?...oh wait, yeah we've been here.
To Jillian and Larkin for pretty much mopping up the floor in here.
Busting her for quoting studies that don't even say what was suggested? Asking to prove god, despite belief, when being asked to do the same with homosexuality?
Well played..
BRAVO!
THIS is what you call being fed to lions? HOLY SHIT! It's JUST LIKE being drug behind a truck and strung up to a fence post! Shadrac, Meshak and Abendigo didn't go through SHIT compared to this!

I would have let the kid's mother read his bible similarly to letting the jewish kid read his book... But to call this an example of PERSICUTION is so fucking rediculous that it's obvious that you would take any effort to acknowledge anything but jesus as hatefulness and trigger the martyr routine.
if only Mat Shepherd were merely told not to read The Advocate in class, eh?
