This is far closer to EiA than my foot-in-the-mouth comment concerning
drunk drivers.  Yes, I actually do realize that drunk drivers tend to kill
instead of get killed, but in an effort not to stray too much from the 
original topic, I made an error in judgment regarding choice of appropriate
illustration.  (Of course, once they are caught....)

Back onto this topic, *IF* homosexuality is entirely genetic (a highly
questionable proposition), then this approach will only guarantee to
eliminate male homosexuals.  According to an issue of *New Scientist*
of a few years ago, female homosexuals in San Fransisco have devised a 
method of continuing their subspecies, sans *direct* involvement of
males.  (I can see it now -- the FBI ten most wanted list of sperm bank
robbers.)
