And you're not very intelligent if you think procreation is the sole meaning of productive. Gay men can have biological children, even with women. Many of them do. And children are not a requirement to be a productive member of society. 90% of the planet is starving and poor. The last thing we need in most places is more children.

Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds to anyone even remotely educated? Completely takes away from the other potentially valid part of your post, which could have been a productive discussion of rich people being targeted in sex victimization.
lol.

Looks like Romney was correct. Big Bird and all his associates must go!

I think he's a divorced dad so you're probably right. Poor woman and child.

Men can only have children with women. Being gay is not determinant. I wonder if folks know that being gay is not viewed as an identity in most of the world?

Why wait for facts when we can all try him in the court of public opinion based on very limited information? /end sarcasm

I mean...come on man. This isn't the 19th century and we aren't an agrarian based economy. At this point in our history, to conflate productivity with having children is pretty frickin' outdated as a concept. And truthfully, you know that already so i don't even know why you're saying something so silly.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't have children, but if homosexuals can't have children, that's an added societal benefit as far as i'm concerned. Homosexuals have proven to be productive in other ways.
I'm sorry I don't view the legitimization of homosexual acts as societal progress but a symbol of the wider moral decay gripping America which includes the example you highlighted.

And yes I do view procreation as being very important many countries face stark futures because of declining birth rates.

Can't say I'm surprised. It just makes you wonder how many other pedophiles work for "children's television".

Mitt Romney was right, PBS needs to be defunded.

The "most of the world" is a backwater cess pool of ignorance, superstition and traditionalist beliefs.

Forgive us who live in the civilized world for giving two craps about what "most of the world" believes is an "identity." Eventually they'll come around. In places like China, for example, as understanding of science, human psychology, sexuality and biology grows, so too does the acceptance of being gay as an identity.




And for the record, whether or not someone can or have children biologically is not the measure of the worth of a "lifestyle" or a relationship.



If someone is gay, they naturally will be part of the "gay lifestyle." It is pure idiocy to say they "shouldn't be gay." They either are or they aren't. The "gay lifestyle," such as it is, also can be lived many ways. Just like the "straight lifestyle". The "gay lifestyle" can be monogamous marriage, forever bachelorhood, promiscuity, celibacy, raising children: biological or adopted....

Procreation rates - rising or falling - have absolutely nothing to do with homosexuality, which exists whether you accept it or not.


Procreation these days is about economics. Focus your energy on figuring out how we got where we are today on that front and you can begin to make progress on tackling falling procreation rates!

Interesting so why do liberals support mass immigration from the third world if its a backwater?
