Answer to:
can someone explain to me, how people are "born gay"? I don't think that just because you're born with something necessarily means it's genetic. As far as I know no one has ever identified a gene for left-handedness and left handed parents are no more likely to have left-handed children than anyone else is, but somehow generation after generation, a certain percentage of kids seem to come that way.

Answer to:
Do lesbians gauge female attractiveness similarly to straight males, and do gays gauge male attractiveness similarly to straight females? In general you will find that a man who is considered attractive and desirable by most gay men would also be considered such by most women.

Should "legal" immigrants have the right to vote? I don't know if it's still the case, but it used to be in New York City that anyone who paid school board taxes could vote in school board elections, even if they weren't US citizens.

Answer to:
Why do immigrants insist on their new countries allowing them to continue following their social customs unhindered? I cannot, and will not speak for other countries, but I have always imagined that many people came to the US specifically because the US does NOT enforce any religious, political, social etc. orthodoxy and one is (for the most part) allowed to practice one's own religion, social customs etc. if one desires.

The US Constitution doesn't say you have to be born in the US to be President, it says you have to be a "natural born" US citizen. Even if someone could prove Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, it would make no difference. His mother was a US citizen - as far as I know no-one has tried to deny this. Therefore, he was a US citizen at birth (as is any child born to a US citizen irrespective of where...

Boys are more than inclined enough to experiment. On the other hand, I don't think finding a couple of underage boys in a compromising position is reason to panic. In our society, for various reasons, some good and some not so, we strongly discourage and place multiple safeguards against against heterosexual sex, so boys wind up occasionally...

Being married to a US citizen does potentially make it easier and faster; you still have to jump through some hoops, but you get head of the line privleges as it were.

When in court, do you have to put you hand on the Bible when swearing in and say "so help me GOD", or is there an alternative for people who are not Chirstian? I heard that you don't have to put your hand on the Bible, and you can just say "so help me". Most jursidictions will allow an alternate oath. Many have simply deleted references to God from their oaths, period. The last time I had to give testimony, the oath adminstered was simply "Do you swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth". You can still be prosecuted for lying under oath, even if you didn't "swear to God".

I have a good friend whom I met in SF, and he is a former NAVY Seal. He is also one of the most liberal person I've met, but he calls himself moderate. So I must ask, are there many liberal/moderate SEALs Or do you have to be a conservative to be a SEAL? They really do not ask you what political persuasion you are when you join the military. I knew all kinds of people with all kinds of politcal beliefs in the Navy. Overall, I'd say most people in the Navy are rather apathetic politically. Few have really pronounced or strong political opinions of any stripe. Many are not even registered to vote.

If two people live in two states with different ages of consent, for example if a20 year old boy were dating a17 year old girl, and if the age of consent in her state was 16, and his was 18, then would it be illegal for them to be intimate in the 16state? Generally it depends on where the act took place, however, the older one might be looking at a charge of transporting a minor for immoral purposes.

They don't get here by wading across the Rio Grande, or hiking through the desert, usually it's by overstaying a tourist visa, but they're still illegal.

How can some Mexicans immigrate to the United States without a birth certificate? In many third-world countries it is more usual than not for children to be born at home or otherwise not in a hospital setting or with a doctor present (it wasn't that unusual even in the US until well into the 20th C.), and many people, especially the poor, in such countries have no birth certificate.

I am a fifteen year old U.S. citizen and I'm having a child with a fifteen year old illegal immigrant. Can he sign the baby's birth certificate? He can sign the birth certificate, but that will not make him legal or anything; it's just acknowledging that he is the father.

Answer to:
I had a baby with my illegal boyfriend. Does this make him legal? If not is there a way to make him legal without him leaving the US? No it does not make him legal, and he is probably going to have to leave the US. The US does not normally accept applications for residence from within the US, they have to be made at overseas consulates. If you are willing to marry him, this will definitely help, but the fact that his child is a US citizen makes no difference since a minor cannot be a sponsor.
