   Also via Instapundit comes [1]this thorny shocker.

   We may have a "cure" for homosexuality in the not too distant future.
   This of course totally flies in the face of religious people who
   fulminatingly insist that heterosexuality is "against nature"
   (bulls***, it's found all over nature in countless species) but it
   also flies in the face of gay rights activists who insist that
   homosexuality is an "immutable trait" like race (which I've been
   telling my friends in the gay community for almost 20 years is a
   really foolish position to take).

   So, when--and it's no longer an "if"--we have a drug that can turn gay
   people straight, is it going to become okay to discriminate against
   gays? Or mandate that they get "treatment?"

   (FWIW, I've been a staunch advocate for gay rights since well before
   it was popular. Trying to read anything into my motives for posting
   these questions is a total waste of your time and I'd encourage
   against trying. Just address the data and the actual questions I pose,
   please.)
