“My brother dressed up as a woman for Halloween… but he never became a homosexual. But if he became a homosexual, he couldn’t even be in our family, transgender, whatever.”

- “You’re looking at transgender teachers and you’re looking at an agenda that is rolling out into the school systems that seeks to affirm transgenderism as normal and positive. Children will be encouraged to cross dress.”

- “Children will then have to defend their birth femininity, or masculinity and they will be discriminated against if they attempt to be the boy or the girl they were born to be.”

- “If you vote yes on this bill, it will be abundantly clear to everyone of your constituents, that you do not care about the children of Maryland and you do not care about the children — our youngest most vulnerable and defenseless citizens who also have rights.”

Am I the only one who thinks these people would be much happier if they came to grips with the idea that human sexual ‘orientation’ (and I really hate that word is a spectrum rather than a purely binary condition?

Not trying to troll the religoious among us, but as an atheist human I find it quite fascinating to compare human behavior (including human sexual behavior) with that of chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos. I’m very curious why we seem to be alone in our apprehension of all things sex-related.
