@ bimmylee - If everyone in the world were suddenly homosexual, fertilization clinics and sperm bank business would boom and the world would keep on chugging just fine.
Homosexuality means you prefer the physical and emotional relations of the same sex. It doesn't mean your physically incapable of breeding. |
You missed the part where I mentioned that reproduction is a key function for "all creatures"... plants and animals included. Notice that homosexual animals are eliminated from the gene pool because they can't reproduce, and they are in the unfortunate predicament of not having animal fertilization clinics or animal sperm banks. For them, it certainly does mean that they are incapable of breeding; you won't be able to convince a homosexual animal to behave otherwise. You do bring up a good point when you say that humans have the means of getting around this issue; this can lead us to only one of two conclusions:
A) We are not animals. (This opens up a whole new can of worms, as you might imagine.)
OR
B) We are animals, but for some inexplicable reason, we are capable of contradicting essential psychological behaviors that allow animals to survive.

Humans are animals, just sayin'...
Anyway, on topic. Are you suggesting that animals can't be gay? Try telling that to my extremely gay dog Oliver lol.

Haha, no, I didn't mean to imply such a thing. Animals can absolutely be gay. It's just that it's impossible for them to pass the trait down. I was saying that it's nature's way of weeding out traits that don't promote reproduction.
@Rath
I should have clarified; yes, you are correct that humans are certainly "animals," but only in the most basic biological sense; there's an infinite number of things (psychological, sociological, etc.) that drastically separates our behavior from theirs. That's what I was getting at.
