(101,399 posts)149. We're going to lock this
With the majority of member opinion seeming that a lock would be better, and that of Religion hosts too (though that's only the 2 of us who are around this morning). It will mean the OP gradually drops out of sight, which will achieve something. There are threads about this in Meta, if people want to discuss what the limits of posting on DU are.

Sexual orientation is hardwired, not a "lifestyle". Have you seriously missed this point?
