I know smart programmers who are gay. I know smart programmers who are straight. It's foolish to think a sexual orientation would influence one's ability to program well.

Also, just because a discussion has never taken place before doesn't mean it's worth having.

Have you seen the last season of the sopranos where the fat guy goes into an antique store, and he is told that he is a "natural" (w.r.t. appreciating art). So it's OK to stereotype gays as being better at artsy stuff, but not OK to think of straights as being better at, well, some other things?
