some serious homosexual vibes from the Borg Queen. Especally during 'Endgame.' Serously! We all got this impression the the Queen was more attracted to the women than men. Have you been getting the same impressions?

Remember First Contact? That's just the way she acts. If you want to think of it as an "attraction" thing, I suppose you'd have to say she's bi.
And, maybe it's just me, but I never even thought about the Borg queen's sexual orientation (nor even that she had one) 'til you brought this up. Why are you even thinking about such things? *L*

Because it just ain't American, darn it! Such behaviour is an affront to God and plain simple decency! We don't want our kids watching this filth! It could turn them into faggots, or, worse, Democrats!

Well, we've saw a Borg nursery in Q-Who, but never really found out if the babies had been born there or assimilated recently.

I think it's been decided that those were recently assimilated youngins...but I still think the idea of breeder drones is kind of cool...well not cool...but interesting. Why wouldn't they make use of natural reproduction to increase their numbers?
As for the Borg queen's "sexuality"...here's my twist on it...I've always thought of the Queen as the physical manifestation of the Collective...she's not so much an individual Borg or a separate entity as she is a consciousness within the Collective...she IS the Collective. Her seemingly sexual overtures are a representation of the Collective's attempts to seduce and get into whoever's mind... it's not actual sexuality...

Yeah, but would adding clones be "adding distinctiveness," which the Borg seem to crave?

I think they clone the Queen but not drones. They don't really need the Queen its like a well trained group without a leader. That group is trained enough to operate on its own but in the end they still need a leader for further directions.
I doubt the Queen is Bi, homo or hetro for the reason all she has is a head and shoulders. Even the skeleton of that part is also borgified.

Maybe the Queen is some form of contingence plan? A response to sitauations that normal borg programming/descions can't handle? Of course this sort of clashs with the whole rational for the assimalation of Picard but it might explain why a collective might consider such a plan in the first place.
As for the 'biolgical distinctiveness' why isn't better used? For instance why not use assimilated Klingons and Hirogens as Tactical Drones? Or for that matter why not whip up your own super drone with, for instance, Klingon biological redundencies and strength, Betazed Telepathy etc?
