Sounded like a bad Bangles licky-likey tribute.

Definitely came across as more Manic Monday, than Black Sabath.

Exactly.

If sexual orientation was a learned thing, nurture, rather than nature, there wouldn't be any gays at all.

As every single gay/lesbian child is a result of a heterosexual pairing.

So who learned/influenced them to be homosexual, and not their siblings?

Velma, from Scooby Doo?

Outdated videos, outdated views.

I see a theme developing here.

Oh dear.

We didn't want you to know, and be influenced by this fact.

Because now you'll be a lesbian too.

It's like saying a boy should only be brought up by a man, and girls brought up by females if there from a single parent family, it doesn't matter, a boy brought up by lesbians will have male influences in his life & vice versa, groove needs to join the 21st century.

Well, since I logged of last night this thread has taken off and has been flying at 20,000'.
As fare as I'm concerned it was an emotive subject from the start, especially when it went down the road of whether people choose their sexuality. This is a subject I've always felt strong about, having work with lots of gay people both male and female in the nightclub industry, in fact (I have mentioned this before on here but I'll repeat it for the sake of new contributors to the site) a few years ago when working at a local nightclub together with my then wife, we were having a drink after the club had closed and the wife (who was very naive) said to the barman, who was gay, why is it, when there are all these young girls in here every night wearing low cut blouses and short skirts, that you fancy other men, the reply was succinct and to the point, I'm a victim of circumstance, I have the mind of a woman in a mans body, think that says it all really

Well put, John. As for the Bangles and Black Sabbath, I liked the Bangles but did not care for Black Sabbath. A bit too crash, bang wallop for me!

You and Garinda might well be best buddies this time tomorrow, but I've still got plenty of "issues" with you...like your appalling prog rock musical tastes and your football traitorship to your home town, to name but two!

You have been warned!

"Traitor" Never! Stanley are my "second" team. As for the music, I can offer no defence....but I have given a couple of your obscure tracks a spin in the past and they were alright....but not really for me.
