Making Gay Rats

So...I never thought I'd be posting one of these, however when taking a peek at the new creatures announcement, when I saw...


*Slaps a scientist* You don't pick them up by their tails. If they were as viscious as some people say, they'd eat your face ~_~

o.0' Ahem. My rats did this anyway, I mean sure not all of them were willing recipients, but I was raising around 200 rats at a time. It was like having HBO.

*Ava sneaks off to give The Rat King hormone shots* Good luck Master Splinter!

Well now... isn't that interesting? I don't know what to think about this. I mean, what if it gets to the point where parents are told "Hey, before you have the kid and you know what sex it is do you want to make sure that your kid doesn't turn out gay?" My best friend is gay and I've read things about how scientists were announcing that it was possible with biotechnology to make sure that childern didn't turn out gay. Kinda like designer babies. Stuff like that pisses me off. I'm not saying that this bit of news pisses me off but it kinda gives off the vibe of "Haha! The 'cure' for homosexuality is closer than everyone thought!" But that is interesting none the less. It made me think of the horomone therapy that people go through when wanting to have a sex change.

Have you seen Gattaca? That is what happens exactly in the movie. I don't think they mention homosexuality in particular, but they are able to engineer babies so that they have perfect eyesight and are imune to diseases.

But yeah. Homosexuality doesn't need a cure, bigotry does.

Their trying to CURE homosexuality? That's disgusting, I bet some idiot religious nut is behind this.

Let's not look for a cure to AIDS or anything let's spend our money and time on this.

And you guys ask me why I hate people?

yes...Where are the cures for cancer? There are so many things in this world that we should be worrying about, this is not one of them.
This just peeves me off, what B.S....

I agree that there are more important things to "cure", but maybe this isn't such an awful thing. If some scientists want to study something, why restrict them, maybe we'll learn something from this.

But on the other side, I can see some parents that would want some type of "gay cure" for their children before they are born, which is pretty pathetic.

I'm serious about this all this is kind of scary this could very well end up being how things went in the last x-men movie.
Because I'm not sure if allot of you know this it's not easy being a gay person and quite allot of us don't like being this way.
But honestly I've been this way so long and persecuted why should I try and change who I am now.
The parallels between all of this are rather spooky.

No I haven't seen that movie. Never ever heard of it. But the way the designer babies in that movie are nothing like the ones that people are trying to make today. People now what to make sure that their babies have a certain color hair and eyes. It's terriblely upsetting. I really hate how people are against gays. I mean, come on! Gays are some of the most funny and awesome people on this planet. Hell just the other day my boyfriend and I hung out with a group of friends and we were the only straight people other than our buddy Pip. And I'll tell you what... we had a gay ol' time!

*snickersnort* That made me giggle too. But really what other profession could he have chosen with a name like that?

Sorry I pissed everyone off That wasn't my intention...although I don't really know what my intention was. I'd been roleplaying for two days straight, and the rat angle kinda amused me. It reminded me of when Master Splinter was trying to calm Ava after a confrontation with the Rat King. She snapped at him, and said "Easy for you to say. You're lucky he's straight!"
...guess you had to be there. *crawls away*

There's no need for you to be crawling away. It was my fault that everyone got all up in arms. I didn't mean to either, it just made me think of how science is trying to "cure" gays when it was mentioned that being gay could possibly be a horomone thing. Sorry.
