Verdict Not Delivered, and neither is baby...

Joe,
The tract was an amusing allusion to the gay scenario. But just the etymology of word "orientation" is telling. It sounds like it is as if the first sexual awakening determines the preferential outcome with genes being quite beside the point. It is sorta like imprinting I think. What happens early on determines the lasting outcome.  
Definition of orientation, number 3: change of position by organs, organelles, or organisims in response to external stimulus... 
Perhaps the connections in the brain orientate when the person has the first truly satisfying sexual experience, ie. one that won't create a lifelong responsibility for an offspring by virtue of having made a female swell up with child. 
Perhaps that first sexual freedom is truly enjoyed by a guy with another guy as though the pleasure-without-prohibition, filled with "gay" abandon without a care in the world, (until the emergence of AIDS, of course), was penultimately pleasurable because no possible strings are attached. I used to not be able to enjoy sex unless I was drunk, due to early prohibitional conditioning as a Catholic. Am I a drunkosexual? Or maybe a Catholoasexual? Could same sex marriage even wipe out homosexuality?
I still cling to my belief that passing on gender-avoidance genes couldn't possibly replicate through numerous generations or transmit as an inherited trait given that avoidance of sexuality with the opposite gender is definitive of the trait. That's my take on it and I'm sticking to it. It taint rocket science.

<DIV>Henry, I know it is satire on sexuality. I think it is very clever and think many others would appreciate it. However, I do believe most homosexuals have no choice. It may be genes, I don't know. Of course, there are exceptions. We must never assume the world consists of total inclusion or total exclusion categories. To paint with a wide brush is a fallacy. Joe</DIV></BODY></HTML>
