Is being Gay the same as being from an ethnic minority?

consider the fact that you can be both, NO

someone can be asian and black in racial heritage

yeah and this doesnt support my argument of being both how?

Is gay a phenotype then?
Campness might indicate it is.

what ever

You said gay wasn't an ethnic minority because you can be both gay and black. In that case asian isn't an ethnic minority.

I think he was saying that a man can be both black and homosexual.

"🙂" <- This got old a loooong time ago.

Anyway nowhere have I implied I even believe that there is a genetic basis for homosexuality, but since it's becoming more and more apparent these days that there is a genetic basis for everything then yes "sexual attraction towards members of the same gender" can probably be considered a phenotype. "gay" and "camp" in the ways that you seem to be generalising are not.

So we are back on topic and the verbal abuse has gone from this thread, one biologist to another X what purpose does this gay gene serve, is gayness in some way beneficial and in line with modern post Darwinian evolutionary theory. 🙂

why dont we close all of the threads that have anything to do about being gay.

This thread is so gay

First of all imo it wasn't verbal abuse it was statement of fact. You were talking sh*t. Secondly it was in the other thread "Let's talk about insults for gay men". Thirdly this isn't "(Leading question) Are homosexuals biologically redundant." this is "Are homosexuals the same as an ethnic minority?" to which the answer is obviously no. Do homosexuals face similar circumstances as any other minority, imo yes.

Strange all this talk of there being such gulfing differences between ethnic minorities and the gay minority considering Black isn't a racial minority in the e.g. Kenya, and Asian isn't a racial minority in e.g. China, yet homosexuals are a minority pretty much anywhere.

I am sorry you took that thread to mean "lets insult gay men" that was not its title 😕 So lets ask the question you propose above are Homosexulas biologically redundant. 🙂

It's not my question. It's yours unveiled. And no I don't take the view to generalise a large group of people into a category and then to label them biologically redundant.

unveiled 😕 that sounds sinister X - I actually Wonder if gays have a socially biological role to play, rather than a reproductively biological role.

You said gay wasn't an ethnic minority because you can be both gay and black. In that case asian isn't an ethnic minority.

SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I POSSIBLY OFFENED. MY RELIGION STATES THAT BEING GAY IS A SIN HATED MUCH BY GOD. SORRY TO EVERYONE

But it also states that disliking your parents is a sin, thinking aboot other peoples property and wishing it was yours is a sin and sleeping with a women during her period is a sin...of course that is all in the OT and if you are not jewish you should maybe listen to this guy jesus a little more who said you should love everyone...but of course I am sure you are the person that should cast the first stone.....

I had it implied to me today on this forum that being gay is as defining as the race or ethnic group you come from. I disagreed with this. The poster implied this was due to similar intollerance faced by both - I agreed both suffered from this, but I did not see sexuality as defining in the way culture is.

So is being gay the same as being black, indian, jewish, gypsy etc

Now on another note, I saw more negative consequences for the Fa##ot word, than for Ni$$er (a) word. Overseas, school, and everything.

But thats just me.

Well, nowadays race is taken very seriously,and people have yet to adapt to homosexuality yet, as this board has shown.

I think ****** like the one people use for me pikey is very offensive. I also think ****** is offensive. Interesting pikey is the only word it allows. It just shows how much people care about Gypsies.

Another thing that is interesting is that both words have the same amount of letters........

Feel better now, because thats what its all about.

On another side, its okay to make "white people jokes", even on tv.

A white guy wore an afro and got arrested.

Thats just the way it is.
