Gayness means they don't fall in love with women. It doesn't mean that they absolutely have to die without kids. |
That's fine, if you want a bastard son, and don't mind him being traumatized for life.

I don't see how that would traumatize kids for life. It happens in several countries, and these kids come out fine.

(just to clarify my earlier post)
For any species that is not capable of reproducing asexually (ie. anything more advanced than a strawberry), it is an absolute requirement that at least a sizable portion of the population must be heterosexual for the species to survive. If this is not the case, the species would die out long before they can develop the technology for homosexual members of the species to reproduce. (for example: an all homosexual chimpanzee population would not have the capability to perform in-vitro fertilization) I'm not saying that gay people can't fall in love with members of the opposite sex, I'm just saying that being gay (attracted to members of the same sex more than, but not exclusively to the opposite sex) automatically significantly decreases your chances of successfully reproducing and thus reduces your value to the species at whole.
Bottom line: Being gay is either
1) A choice
or
2) A severe genetic defect

Gay people don't always have gay kids. Straight people don't always have straight kids. Whether your parents are gay or straight, you have the same chances of being gay, somewhere between 5 and 10%, depending on your source. It doesn't have to be a gene. It could be a natural reaction to the actual process of hormone exchange with your mother and being born. Almost all twins have the same sexuality, whether their parents are gay or straight.
Gay people aren't what make other people gay.
Over 90% of the human race is straight (or at least has sex with the opposite sex), so you have nothing to worry about.

It's not like you have to sit down and sign a paper and choose which sex you like. It's an unconscious decision that's made based off of what you have been exposed to in life, and whether you like male genetalia or female genetaila.
Answer me this: Do you think that if a kid grew up in a really sheltered life, and never ever heard of a man being with a woman, and only ever saw his two fathers (or mothers) and never saw a man and a woman together, or been exposed to the notion that that was the "norm", that he'd like men or women? I choose to believe that he would also be most comfortable in the presence of another man, and therefore choose men as his sexual preference.

It's definitely not about genitalia. I know women who are straight, but would rather masturbate to photos of nude women instead of nude men, because they think penises look gross and breasts look great. However, they only have sex with men and only date men and only fall in love with men, and only want to marry a man and have kids with him. Does that make them straight or gay or bi or what?
The exposure has nothing to do with it. Are you arguing that it's a virus spreading throughout society, and to stop it we need to hide it from kids until they're already straight and it's okay for them to see it?
