Neurobiologists have discovered that sexual orientation can be manipulated back and forth in fruit flies.
People sometimes discuss the implications of a “cure” for homosexuality.
I wonder if someday, 20 or 30 years from now, parents will be able to eradicate potential homosexuality in their fetuses.
I picture a homosexual Children of Men. “The youngest homosexual on earth died today at age 18…”
Then there’ll be nobody left in the gay bars but us bitter old queens.
And then we’ll die, and there’ll be nothing on Broadway but Stomp, and eventually the whole country will look like Kansas.
As a straight married white guy with a kid…your scenario makes me want to scream and jump off a bridge!
If the country looked like Kansas there really is no need to continue living.
To quote Kennedy (I think) just because we are capable of doing something, it does not mean we should do it….
Actually, Kansas is gayer than you think. Oklahoma might be the nightmare scenario you’re looking for.
Oklahoma, from what I’m told, is apparently hell, but oddly, I’ve never met a heterosexual man from there. (I know a LOT of fags from OK.)
That straight people probably have no reason to leave. It’s the gay Okies that would need to escape.
Yep, It is definitely accurate for you to say that without homosexuals, all culture would die out. I mean, whenever I have a creative though, I say to myself, ‘I sure wish I had a gay around to express this great idea’.
Hi Tin Man,
I am a playwright who has been developing a comedy entitled The Straight Pill which deals at lenght-two acts 86 pages-with this current topic. Little did I realize that just two years into this process-that scientists would be embarking on and making these kind of discoveries. As I feel the play deals with this issue in a far more developed manner than can be adeqautely discussed here-I thought I’d drop you an email and ask if you would be intersted in reading The Straight Pill-by John Page Spears 212-239-2403
