I know there's a 'redhead gene' but one for homosexuality ? How
about
bisexuals too ? False argument methinks.

A gene for homosexuality would disappear from the pool pretty
quickly,
one would imagine. A bit like a gene for infertility.

That might be true if gay people never parented children.
Not really because it could be recessive.
True.
There's also experimental evidence to suggest it's environmental or,
if genetic, environmentally triggered as you can alter the incidence
in rats by manipulating population density.
Humans are, of course, more complex but that would indicate it,
assuming genetic, could propagate 'the common way', absent
environmental triggers, even if dominate.
That also suggests if population density is a consistent trigger it
could be a 'natural' population control mechanism. Or not. No one
really knows.
The oxymoron "gay marriage" is an altogether different issue, though.
As opposed to the moronic (without the oxy) legal argument against it.
;-)
So far, the only thing 'moronic' is your suggestion that any differing
opinion is, without even having heard it, 'moronic'.
Oh, I've heard the legal arguments. *Why would you jump to the
conclusion that I consider any opinion different than mine to be moronic?
Because you said as much.
I said "oxymoron." a figure of speech that combines
normally-contradictory terms,
I know the word. *I was doing a "play" on the word.
because it is.
Marriage is, and has been for thousands of years, defined as a
heterosexual relationship with "gay," by definition, 'monosexual', so
the term, substituting definitions, claims a "monosexual heterosexual
relationship."
Have you looked up the definition of monosexual? *I happen to be
monosexual, and I presume that you are as well, since most people are..
I used it as an adjective to relationship and you know darn good and
well what was meant by it.
Kind of like you knew darn good and well that the onymoron/moron thing
was a play on words, right?
Nice try but that's not a 'play on words', it's just an opportunistic
excuse for using it.
Bottom line: *definitions change.
Then give it a few thousand years.
If and when definitions change they do so gradually through colloquial
usage and not by arbitrarily deciding it suits someone's political
goals to mangle the language.
Bull****.You have never studied linguistics, that much is clear.
