Bigmouths Strike Again: Gay Kids Edition

On explaining why this person hopes to have gay children:

They are less likely to get into a fight and less likely to date rape people. I’m straight but I’ve grown up around gay people and gay clubs. They are superior to straight people. If you have a gay child you’re more inclined to be a prouder parent.
After the jump ...

I love the man, but that's really random.

When do you have that conversation with yourself exactly? And where does this get released to the public???

I'm gay, but I would have hated to have Moby as a parent. Ugh.

I really like Moby's concern about how parenthood could possibly affect his ego. Stick to Dial soap, buddy.

Is it possible he may mean "straight, curious"?

Wait, so John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer, both gay,are superior to Gandhi and Martin Luther King JR, both straight. Way to generalize Moby. I am not saying that there aren't gay people who are better than straight people, but to say that they're all better is not really intelligent.

See, I was headed toward J-Tim & Cam-D land here, but I suppose Moby fits in.

I like Moby's trance music, but every time the man opens his mouth, buckets of sun-dried crapola come out.

Just an idea here: good parenting would probably make for better humans, be they straight, gay or incredibly philosophically ponderous.

My guess was Sharon Stone. She has a lot of "pearls of wisdom". Remember teen girls, If you MUST have sex, make it oral....

Her words NOT mine.

Is it the whole vegan thing that's making him say things like that?
If so, the man needs to eat a steak, or fish, or chicken, or pork, or something other than friggin' grains and rice!

Moby is like the Female Madonna. Yes, that's a diss on both sides. Damn, I'm good

He's just too silly.

If he weren't vegan I suppose he'd recommend fucking farm animals-- and I'm sure he has no problems with part time female genital mutilation? Sexual immorality is beyond justifying, no matter how much of a crisis losing your personal right to be immoral is.

Generalizations are just as bad as oversimplifications,but when immorality is perfectly acceptable (or "relative") while milk and cookies are an absolute outrage-- where are we, guys?

Moby's shift key is still broken; this was a direct quote from an interview! He probably does think in lower case letters, though, so we'll keep that in mind for next time.

Yeah, well Moby also said, "We're convinced that if we have children, we're going to do everything in our power to make them gay. Like maybe drinking a lot of extra soy milk while she's pregnant, or anything that would work to make that happen. I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead."
I dont know if you know this, but no gay man was ever big and dumb. True story.

gacy jr. wasn't gay, he was an in the closet bisexual

and moby is awesome. it's ridiculous to be ripping the man apart for a personal preference.
