  fulltimestudent - "How do I know it’s a female? Because they’re all female. All of them. All their lives. Male New Mexico Whiptail Lizards no longer exist. So how do they reproduce? It’s called parthenogenesis, and it’s responsible for all those virgin births you occasionally hear about. It’s not quite cloning; the female’s DNA simply recombines with itself during meiosis, so each daughter is slightly (but only slightly) different from her mother."

  I read about this.

  It's Roland Emmerich's Godzilla in microcosm.

  A question arises. Did Noah let these lesbian lizards into the Ark?

  Surely, he would not have allowed sinners like them to survive the flood, which was the Yahweh/Jesus combo God's way of wiping all sinners off the earth?

  As to those who think it a defect, please leave this site and planet. And universe. Please. Quickly. Your'e morons. Sorry Simon, but he/she/they are.

  DJS, are you saying gay people having children is a good or bad thing?

  I don't see what the argument is about. People will eventually follow their instincts and desires no matter how much their peers, social or religious group try to dissuade them. So condemnation is pointless.

  An erect penis has no conscience after all.

  Viviane,

  Yes. that is what I'm saying. Lots of heteros should never, I repeat never, procreate. Their DNA needs to stop with them. So since there are lots of bad hetero parents is it a good thing or a bad thing that straights have kids?

  I'm sure that is the case with gays. But as the prejudices, laws and perceptions change, and Ms. Viviane they are changing rapidly, gay couples will have more children. It will be a good thing if they are good parents. It will likely be a good thing if they are so so parents. And even bad hetero parents sometimes raise kids that turn out to be great adults. So if you have the insight as to who will or won't be a good parent, please share. What kind of a question are you asking?

  It is going to occur; it already is. And there is no reason, none, to think that gays - once they are allowed to marry and are accepted in society just like straights - won't want to have children. They are doing it now. Gays will be much more likely to use their own eggs/sperm for procreation than simply adopting. Wouldn't you? Some will be great parents, some - not so much. Just like with straights. So again, what queston are you asking?

  So many of the arguments and rationale in this topic are specious; they sound ok on the surface but are patently false. They do not reflect the real world and the adaptability of humans to circumstances.

  Evidently, the feedback from Adamic Sin hadn't quite reached the pair who went aboard and the lesbian lizards' (lizbians? lesards?) physical imperfection didn't manifest itself as "teh gay" until after the floodwaters receded.

  Either that or Noah and Co. forgot to check the pair's equipment before letting them on board, and the two just had to make do with what they had...

  ...after all, "life finds a way", as Jeff Goldblum so eloquently put it.
