The questioner, in addition to exhibiting the common chauvinism against homosexuals, also exhibits a profound lack of understanding of genetics. This person thinks that changing a gene in a full-grown individual will change that person. What if that ‘homosexual gene’ controls only fetal development? Then the change will have no effect in a full-grown person. I don’t think the questioner even understands how gene therapy works. The human body contains trillions of cells, and you have to use a virus to transmit genetic fixes into the nucleus of the particular cells you want to change. This question is the absent musing of a chauvinist. It is sad and hilarious.

Since several people have mentioned it, the fact that I have no kids of my own has no bearing on my concern with the discipline of today’s children. My parents brought me up with discipline, and I know the difference. Moreover, I have to live with kids and young adults in my community just like everyone else, and I don’t want to have to clean up after other people’s mistakes. I maintain that it is time to end the modern “progressive” experiment in child-rearing, as it as not worked.

Michell brings up a good point, which is that parents are not allowed to discipline their children anymore, out of fear of being labeled child abusers. This is very true, but it is only half the problem. The other half is parents being too cowardly to stand up to liberal-minded peer pressure and Draconian institutions like Child Protective Services. I think we need to lobby Congress to get this new arm of the government out of the family.
