Yes. And it's not an empty statement.

We're not discussing whether your example was noteworthy. We're discussing why you write like queers are being put in concentration camps, and why you label everybody who doesn't agree with your views on the topic a homophobe.

No. "Schtick" was a poor choice of words. What I'm trying to show you is the self-defeat built into your paranoid, solipsistic style of thinking on this issue.

Then why are you so hostile to somebody suggesting that being gay might sometimes be a matter of socialization and choice?

You really haven't thought about this too hard, have you? Biological stories about human group differences have been put to overwhelmingly bad uses. And what would you say to queer folks who prove to lack the purportedly soon-to-be-isolated "gay gene?" Sorry, people, but you aren't truly queer! No marriages for you!
