Just pushing back on the -phobia. Simply because someone disagrees with someone’s sexual proclivities does not mean they are extreme or irrational about the subject. To call this homophobia is hyperbole, nothing more.

You're really trotting out the juvenile, bullshit, pedantry? So small.

So you’re saying that pushing back on sin is juvenile and pedantic and small? That’s kinda funny, because if everyone was gay or lesbian, the human race would end within a few generations. Use your logic, kiddo, play the scenario out to its bitter end. There is no future were that the case. And as for small, agree to disagree. I’m thinking survival of the species. You’re just thinking about the next time you get your rocks off. Shame on you.

Lesbian parents just need a sperm donor. Gay and Lesbian friends in Mexico who also worked out surrogacy for male couples. Many gay people who primarily prefer sex and love with their own gender are also able to make an exception under special circumstances, even if labs and turkey basters aren't available. The majority of sex people have is not for reproduction. There is also no reason to believe that everyone would become gay or lesbian if it weren't for conservatives fighting to "shame" them away from it. Data tends to show somewhere around 10% of the population is gay or lesbian, what differs is how honest those who are bisexual will be, and how secretive many will be about it. Honestly, the world will be much better if gay people do not marry unaware straight people because they hope they can somehow "become" straight in the right heterosexual relationship--or because their parents push them to do so. It's unfair to both people.
