“When straight couples have children, the majority of them want their children to be straight as well,” Dr. William Strider at the Fertility Center of Chicago tells Daily Buzz Live. “That is why most straight parents have trouble accepting it when their children announce to them that they are gay.”
Um… OK?
“So it only makes sense,” Strider continues, “that same-sex couples would want children that carried out their same family values of homosexuality.”
Strider claims he has the unique ability to help same-sex parents biologically produce gay children or “gaybies.” The procedure is called Human Germline Manipulation. It allows doctors to genetically engineer a fetus’ X-chromosome gene by tinkering with the sperm and ovum during a surrogate conception. The X-chromosome is believed to have some impact on a person’s sexual orientation.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
According to Strider, gay couples will soon have the option to change their straight baby into a gayby and “guarantee their same family values and acceptance throughout the next generation.”
But don’t think producing a gayby isn’t going to cost you. The rate for Human Germline Manipulation ranges from $12,000 to $15,000. Also, the procedure isn’t guaranteed. So you might be better off putting that 15K towards your kid’s college fund and then keeping your fingers crossed he turns out gay.

Oh, great. Thanks for giving Brian Brown, Teddy Perkins, et.al. the means to attack us even more. I can here the screening in Teabagistan now.

Please tell me this is some sort of weird psychopathic joke? Seriously? With all the drama, and social discord over sexuality, and equal rights, now we want to start trying to intentionally make people gay? This is absolutely ridiculous. Give your baby an injection in an effort to force them to share your moral beliefs? Could someone please put this syringe wielding hack out of business before someone takes this ridiculousness seriously?
Billy Budd
Ridiculous. Now the solution to discrimination is to make everybody black, or everybody gay?
Aranos
Nonsense. This is not going to change a person’s sexual orientation. I like the sentence “the procedure isn’t guaranteed”. But the guy will get away with your money nonetheless.
Apart from that, it is wrong to want to “engineer” children and to tamper with nature. There’s a reason for all the different sexualities and we should not try to change the natural occurance of each of them.
Tobi
If this actually works, doesn’t it mean prospective parents could also pay to engineer heterosexual kids?!
Paul Nadolski
@Tobi: Exactly. Most likely this guy is nothing but a total scam artist.

This has got to be a satire from The Onion. If it isn’t please tell me this “doctor” doesn’t have a license to practice in any state.

Can you please try to make it clearer that this is utter nonsense?

Quackery.

If this is true let me guess. he charges a bunch of parents huge sums of money for years, then disappears before it becomes obvious that it doesn’t work.

When he’s caught having sex with men he’s going to blame it on a needle stick.

I call BS on this article. I can’t possibly see the FDA approving something this obviously fraudulent.
jwtraveler
“family values of homosexuality”? What about he family value of accepting your child for he/she is and loving him/her unconditionally?
Thomathy
This is utter quackery. Is it at all possible that Queerty could apply even the slightest scpetical slant to the article? The reporting as it’s been done leans any ambiguity on the veracity of these claims toward their being legitimate.
This clinic does not genetically engineer humans and it certainly cannot, because no such gene exists, manipulate any chromosome whatsoever to increase the likelihood of a child being born gay. It’s utter nonsense and it’s offensively inane.
JeffTech
Great another idiot doctor committing fraud and from Chicago no less, lol.

he should be peddling snake oil off the back of a medicine wagon whilst cher sings gypsies, tramps, and thieves in the background. he needs his medical license yanked pronto.

@jwtraveler: I do believe that this “article” is pure hogwash, but caring about the sexuality of anyone is absolutely ridiculous… and ENGINEERING it is even worse. You said it beautifully: accepting what every he or she is… Well, yes, my friend, that’s the goal, right? RIGHT? Well, it should be. Sigh.
Captain Obvious
I’m just gonna hold back and say the very idea of this makes me want to vomit. Just stupid.

Oh yeh, somebody is so gonna shoot this guy in the street!

This is bull. Also, you can’t inject a gene.
He’s going to make lots of money from stupid people, and they won’t be able to figure out he’s a fraud until their children are old enough to actually determine what their sexuality is.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
I been “injected” many times by Gay genes, however it did not seem to make me any more Gay………..:p

It’s telling that there’s no record anywhere online of a Dr. William Strider at the Fertility Center of Chicago, except in articles about this rubbish “news item.”
Damich
That’s just stupid. The point of our claim to our sexuality is that it happens naturally. That isn’t natural. Why not be happy with whatever sexuality your child has? It’s non of your biz anyway.
CoachS
Cool… so you give Doctor Jekyll $15K, and in like 14 years you find out for sure if the non-guaranteed procedure worked when junior comes in and tells you that he’s dating a hottie cheerleader and he won’t be following in your footsteps? By then the intrepid “scientist” is probably in his 70s and living as an expat in some non-extradition country. Good plan.
I did it the old fashioned way. My son’s straight. I haven’t disowned him. C’est la vie.
Mark Jenkins
Much as I would like a child- I would want him (or her) to be able to form their own opinion regarding their sexuality-which I would encourage regardless of the outcome. This clown should be put out of business before the religious right gets hold of this and accuses us (the LGBT community) of trying to engineer a whole race of LGBT people to take over the earth! (and you know that’s where THEIR argument would lead)Remember the foolishness that happened just because Ellen made the joke about winning a toaster every time we “Turned one”?- I call upon all LGBT people to denounce this quack before he does real damage to both our civil rights and our community!
AnitaMann
The article is fake. It’s from a satirical website. Queerty needs to do its homework.
AnitaMann
@AnitaMann: – I would add that I posted this before but Queerty deleted it. Interesting.

Good to learn that this story is a hoax and equally pleasing to see the reactions from the commenters. We have a lot to teach the Republicans, Christians and homophobes (redundant?) about loving and respecting ones fellow human beings.
rickhfx
We already know that the gene that most likely causes homos is the fabulous gene. I want them to find out what gene causes the hetero so we can find out more on how we evolved from the more primitive apes.

The source of this “news item” is The Daily Buzz Live. com a satirical website. The photo of the doctor is a stock photo. Dr. William Strider does not exist.

I wouldn’t worry…..unless the boy baby is injected with the gay gene in his ass.
Ridpathos
This is total and complete quackery.
Ditamo
How idiotic and dangerous!!! First when did being gay become a family value? If my kids are gay, than OK, but if they’re any other sexuality I have no problem as well. The only family value I would want my children to really have is to always seek happiness for them and those around them, never do harm to others, and always be tolerant and open of different ways of life. Second this is dangerous, what if he tries to change the child’s genetic makeup and the baby is born with some type of defect because of it?

Pointless “article” about quackery. But this is queerty so it should be no surprise.
