you can paint it up any other way you want but ultimately homosexual relationships are means to an end rather than means to a future (at least from anything besides an emotional perspective).

they can scream all they want about their 'love' and how it's just as 'real' as the love felt in hetero couples but the point continues to be missed. a life long love shouldn't be about satisfying the immediate individuals, it should be about establishing a love that will survive beyond themselves, to combine themselves within another being that will carry and live out their love throughout their own existence. it's physically, biologically, and genetically impossible for homosexuals to do this.

i don't mean this as any form of disrespect to adidass or any other homosexuals here. i've struggled with the idea myself at various times in the past too. once i had made sense of the preceeding paragraph to myself it made it a lot easier to realize that i was alone because i wasn't interested in shallow or promiscuous relationships, not because of gender issues. again, nothing against homosexuals, but in my experience i've also noticed a SIGNIFICANT increase in promiscuity and basic indecency and intimate disrespect within the g4y community. a lot around here (especially young ones) seem to take the idea that since they can't make babies as a green card for slutting out hardcore.

However, the question remains: Gaydar, fact or fiction?

so... you think "gayness" is some disease that's taking over the world?
because the fact of the matter is there will always be gay and straight people in the world, most likely more straight than gay.
hey maybe we do need more gay people, one world issue is over-population.

and even if by some odd chance the one day everyone's gay (which is nearly impossible) women can still become pregnant without having sex.

Saw someone studying this on the telly some months ago and the researcher interviewed said that there was definetly a gaydar. People were generally good at figuring out sexual orientation.

You just took it to a level it never needed to be at.

Of course - how it works, where the clues come from, whether it's body language or the way people talk or look .. figuring that out would just explain how the gaydar works, not that it doesn't exist. ;)
