Unbelievable! Kerry is now flogging the totally discredited gay gene theory that first came out in 1993 when Clinton was trying to homosexualize the military and the Lavender Mafiosas led by Bernardin were moving their ilk into more key positions in the American Church hierarchy from their strategic hub in Chicago.
Unfortunately for Kerry, a higher-ranking war hero named Wesley Clark already bared his chest so that boyz will check out his gut and like him. Maybe Kerry should go for the dead eyes, the pouting lips and the classic Lucifer stance of rebellion -- I WILL NOT SERVE -- when he poses for the Advocate.
Now Al Qaeda is surely intimidated by the red, white and lavender.<g>
Kerry says people are born gay

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry says he believes people are born gay but are not guaranteed the right to marry within their own gender.
"I think it's entirely who you are from birth, personally," Kerry said in an interview to be broadcast on MTV. "Some people might choose, but I think that it's, it's who you are. I think you have ... people need to be able to be who they are."
Asked why he favors civil unions instead of marriage if people are born gay, Kerry replied: "What is distinct is the institutional name or whatever people look at as the sacrament within a church, or within a synagogue or within a mosque as a religious institution. There is a distinction. And the civil state really just adopted that, and it's the rights that are important, not the sort of ... the name of the institution."
In a transcript released Friday by MTV for its Tuesday special "Choose or Lose: 20 Million Questions for John Kerry," the presumptive Democratic nominee said he favors civil unions to give people partnership, inheritance and other rights.
"I think that people have a right in America to be who they are," Kerry said. "I believe very strongly that we can advance the cause of equality by moving toward civil union."
President Bush supports a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, a measure Kerry opposes on the grounds that marriage is a state issue. Kerry has said he would outlaw job discrimination against homosexuals, extend hate-crime protection to them, and allow them to serve openly in the military.
Bush has continued President Clinton's policy allowing gays to serve in the military if they are not open about their homosexuality.

The Fading "Gay Gene"
The Boston Globe published an article on February 7, 1999 which was reprinted by permission in the April 1999 NARTH Bulletin. It is an important article because it contributes to the growing body of evidence that homosexuality is not simply "genetic."
Serious scientists have long known that a simply "genetic" cause for homosexuality was highly unlikely, but the mass media conveyed the misimpression of genetic causation to the general public. In the Globe article, prominent researchers admit the distinct limitations of the "born that way" theory.
"Gay gene" researcher Dean Hamer comments, "It is the same for every human behavior--environment matters for extroversion, smoking cigarettes, just about anything you can name."
Interestingly, Dr. Hamer--himself a gay man--adds that science remains "just as clueless" as ever about the environmental influences on homosexuality. Dr. Hamer's statement is consistent with a position taken by most gay advocates, who flatly deny the existence of evidence that points to certain family and social influences on homosexuality. (Gay advocates almost invariably either say "I was born that way," or "How I became gay doesn't matter.") Only prominent gay writer Andrew Sullivan has publicly given credence to the Freudian model of homosexual development.
Said the Globe:
"The research project in 1993 that indicated many gay men shared a common genetic marker in the X chromosome was hailed as a momentous scientific discovery.
"The idea of a 'gay gene' offered an ironclad defense of homosexuality; if it was genetically predetermined, then being gay could not be cast as 'deviant' behavior, something 'correctable.'
"Six years later, however, the gene still has not been found, and interest in--and enthusiasm for--the 'gay gene' research has waned among activists and scientists alike. And there is a growing consensus that sexual orientation is much more complicated than a matter of genes....

Wes Clark vs. the Military
By Shawn Macomber
FrontPageMagazine.com | February 4, 2004
What is Wesley Clark thinking? The retired four star general, who won the Oklahoma Democratic presidential primary by a razor-thin margin, raised more than a few eyebrows recently when some saucy photos of him appeared in the gay culture rag, The Advocate. Sure enough, there is Clark on the cover of the magazine, his shirt provocatively unbuttoned, hands on his hips, looking rather…um, homoerotic. The picture is the first and (hopefully) last sexually charged image of this year’s Democratic presidential primary. With Gert by his side, it’s obvious Wes is as straight as an arrow, and one would think signing the nation’s first civil unions bill would make Dean the cause du jour of the gay community.
Dig deeper into the article, however, and readers will begin to see how Clark landed the cover. In those pages, Clark pledges an end to the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, widely viewed in liberal circles as one of Bill Clinton’s biggest failures, save possibly welfare reform. This is the same position all his rivals in the race for the Democratic nomination hold to one degree or another. But in Clark the liberal left has found a military man to make their case. As the magazine notes, Clark “could be the only one with enough brass to make a difference.”
