Other than the trait in question, members of the group have no ethnicity/religion/race/ideology that joins them. Another issue mentioned in the update, "the (incredibly offensive" gay/deaf analogy", actually makes some sense. As most gay kids are born to straight parents, 90% of deaf kids are born to hearing parents. Besides the likelihood of being born to parents different from us, common issues are feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, lower graduation rates, and access to education that serves us. Or if nothing else, the deaf/gay analogy makes much more sense than the interracial marriage/gay marriage analogy often thrown about by lefties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1113070338754648742005-04-09T11:12:00.000-07:002005-04-09T11:12:00.000-07:00Yet another interesting point.Yet another interesting point.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1113050832990523772005-04-09T05:47:00.000-07:002005-04-09T05:47:00.000-07:00SpotterA curious thing...if you can select the sex...Spotter<BR/><BR/>A curious thing...if you can select the sexual orientation of your baby in the womb. It will be interesting to see how many homosexual rights groups who are adamantly "pro choice" become "pro life" when (not if) sexual orientation becomes one of the things you can judge in the womb...and will be a part of your "choice" to abort or not..<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
