Opposition to homosexuality is part of a broader Conservative reaction to the "sexual revolution" of the 60s. As homosexuals can't breed, it's flashpoint between two very different views on the point and purpose of sexual relationships - that is, whether the primary purpose of these relationships is pleasure or reproduction. Does this clarify things for you? |
The purpose of sexual relationships really doesn't enter into it at all. These people love eachother and have a desire to be with eachother, just like heterosexual couples do. Do we require heterosexual couples to produce more babies? No, of course not. If we don't really care if heterosexuals, why should we care whether or not gay people procreate?
That whole argument is far too stupid to use to justify discrimination against gay people, their love and their relationships. Unless of course you are horribly immoral or stupid.

Well, assuming this is true, perhaps that is because of the immoral (imo) discrimination against gay relationships creating a more difficult environment for children with same sex parents. If you want these children to fare better, you should fight discrimination against gays.

No they're not.
See? Stupid, silly arguments.
