      so it doesn't make logical sense? I think the figure is closer to 10 btw. Also, does excessive anal sex damage the anus?

      If the purpose of sex & relationships is to produce children, homosexual sex won't do that. However, nobody thinks it will.

      isn't that the point of human life? Aren't all our actions implicitly geared towards reproduction? Choice is different.

      No. We choose our own point. We do not have to be guided by the biological imperative.

      though experiment: if we put 10 healthy hetero/homo couples on two remote islands, which population would survive?

      Irrelevant. Some ppl are gay. Get over it. Do your own thing.

      why don't you answer the q? Are homosexuals reliant on heterosexual couples? Are they capable of self-sustenance?

      Reliant for what? They're products of heterosexual sex, usually. You can't make babies by homosexual sex, no

      But no one at all is arguing that homosexuality is OK coz homosexual sex makes babies so I'm not sure what your point is.

          Some people are gay, fine. Just want to challenge the logic of WHY it's fine. It's a choice, and thus should be criticised.

          Its not a choice! Even if it were, you can criticise choices if you wish but unless they harm you in some way, why would you?

          it's a warped choice. Their actions are predicated on the actions of heterosexual couples. Otherwise we'd all die.

          Fortunately, you don't need to understand why some people are gay. You just need to not be a dick about it.

          why am I being a dick? Am I not FREE to critique an ACTION? Hypocrite.

          Yes and other people are free to say you're being a dick if you do. However, I meant not being abusive to LGBTS.

          in what way was I abusive? I respect their choice. I just think it's an illogical one; a sexual devistion from the norm.
