They're only ~10% of the population, so their lack of newborns won't affect this productive stuff you're hung up on.

As far as what they do with their sexual organs, all I can suggest is to take a page from my book: Don't dwell on it.

The only reason I can think of for not being reproductive is that fact that their reproductive organs don't match...they cannot naturally reproduce.
And, when you reproduce, you're being re-productive.
I can't explain further.
Same with heterosexuals that use birth control, a condom or had a tubal or vasectomy... Yes?

I tolerate any and all expression as long as it does not involve forcing ones will upon another.
It's about accepting people as they are and accepting a broad range of human behavior ... sexual and otherwise.
It's that simple.
Any way they choose...like those other things you don't want to talk about. Incest, etc.
I'm not threatened, like some hare in the forest, I'm mad that you think the government should be officially able to tell me to accept something I don't, or face consequences.
It doesn't work that way. We are a republic. We vote on these issues, and the people decide.

You know, if god had a sense of humor he would make the children of these angry anti homosexual people gay.

Yes, it is not the right thing to do. You got me there; all that birth control and whatnot...not right either.

But two wrongs don't make a right.

You assume that the only reason that human beings are on the planet is to reproduce.
Imo, that is not true.
Also, heterosexuals have sex all of the time with no intention of reproducing.
There is only a few days during a month that a woman is fertile.
At this point in human history there is no obvious reason to reproduce at the rate that humans are doing so ... just the opposite in fact.
And we express our sexuality not only to reproduce but also because it feels really, really good (ideally).
It is also a way for human beings to connect on a profound level, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
Gays and lesbians also have the capacity to express their sexuality in order to connect with the other on a profound level.
And both heterosexuals and homosexuals can express themselves sexually in a base and solely physical way.

I'm not Catholic, friend, I'm in fact not what you'd imagine at all.
I really wish people would stop judging me. You do not know me, so please don't.
Well, keep this going, I've got some work to do and I'll be back.
By the way, I hope you don't see me as some fanatical religios zealot or someone who bitterly opposes you...
That'd be sad, because we are all just people with opinions based on how we feel. Good night.

Not to devalue your point, but after much debate and sparring, that made my day. Thanks, and have a good one.

It was a shot in the dark, especially coming so close on the heels of WesternPilgrim and his Catholic rants recently.
