One had to do with an undersized gland located in the brain, and the other involved a missing...forgive my inspecificity...thing within a homosexual's chromozomes. Now, these studies were later revealed to be totally innaccurate and not necessarily true as I understand it. So, homosexuality being attributed to an underdeveloped gland or a missing, "thing", could be called a "disease" or "disorder" or "defect."

Your language here is confused and unclear. Homosexuality is not linked to a missing gland or thing, so it is <i>not</i> a disorder? Yet you claim it <i>is</i> a disorder? What?

Uhm, I think you're going to have to qualify this.

This is based on your tendetious assumption that "healthy" and "normal" people ought be fucking up a storm to pass on their genes. I'd say this is an example of you using evolutionary theory to justify your own preconceptions of what is "appropriate."

Perhaps that "unidentifiable" something is a demon? It's consuming queers' everlasting souls? I don't understand the motivation of this line of thought: de-normalizing homosexual activity achieves what? Oh! Oh! perhaps the furtherment of the species! I don't buy that. What's the threat? Is this 'disease' catching? Will the 'disorder' spread? Do you fear immasculation? Does labeling someone/thing abnormal make you more normal?

I'm just looking at it in a way I don't see many people look at it. I am persuadeable, so if you think I'm wrong, change my mind.
