    But

    a) How she looks is really not a factor. She's an elderly woman, her purpose is not to give you a semi.

    b) Is she saying science might explain homosexuality? Which is quite different from suggesting it should be fixed?
    As per the article, it was a response to her position on gay conversion therapy. So, suggesting it “could” be fixed.

    Her suggestion that it “should” be fixed is another conversation.

    Odd that she depends on science for gay conversion, but denies it for climate change. Or maybe not so odd, she is a B****** after all.

            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Ah, another episode of Perl-clutching horror because somebody somewhere has a differing opinion to yourself. Not as if anyone is suggesting any kind of coercion.

              If only we had known in the '80s that by 2019 the centre-left would be even worse than Mary Whitehouse.

              Interestingly there is currently a scientific train of thought that even questions whether we have any free will at all and that almost everything about our nature is in our DNA. In which case Atw simply can't help himself and all these posts are pointless.

                Hmm, re (b), maybe, although the phrase "produce an answer" is only a hair's breadth from "provide a solution", which would imply it is a problem to be solved.

                UKIPers and Brexiters should be aware and constantly vigilant that interviewers will be deliberately asking them contentious questions, craftily customised to match their supposed controversial views, to try and discredit them. It sounds like she has fallen foul of this.

                  Or vice versa.

                  But why must it be a binary choice? Why not a continuum? Some people firmly hetero, some people firmly homo, some people mostly one, but occasionally plays around with the other, and some bisexual.

                  Has science really established that sexuality is fixed? Or is it just convenient for activists to assume it is? And does it matter so long as people aren't executed for it or otherwise persecuted or discriminated against?

                  Sexual and gender politics is dominated by neo-marxist ideology. The facts don't matter.

                    I wish I had been gay. No children wrecking my life.
