People are born gay. (some dispute this but for the sake of argument let's say this is fact)

Are people born with down syndrome retarded? If yes/no then why?

[/ QUOTE ]

They are "retarded" because their development path (in multiple ways) has been slowed or stopped altogether.

The term "retardation" generally refers, in this context, to mental handicap - for instance, those with Down's may never reach an educational or intellectual level beyond say six years old.

Clearly not, under any reasonable definition of "development" - it does not appear, under current evidence, that homosexuality is a "stopping point" on the way to normal development, and their sexual and reproductive well-being functions normally for their gender.

Being unable to reproduce because of the lack of a uterus is a piss-poor definition of "retarded" - unless, of course, every single male not currently engaged in regular intercourse is also "retarded."

It's a poor attempt to abuse definitions (thus, troll).
