Though my female gender creates a bias within me that would love to be top of the pecking order.But ultimately, we are the human race. The genders are designed to work together to ensure the survival of the race. Therefore, the individual roles held by each respective gender is moot as long as propagation of the species occurs. Women and men are equally special in the biological and sociological roles they play. It should be a balance, a harmony, not a hierarchy. When you get into more complex gender roles, such as those of the LGBT community, a hierarchy simply doesn't work. One can't say that the LGBT community doesn't contribute to society simply because they often don't reproduce. Though I suppose from a strictly biological, propagation of the species point of view, they don't contribute. However, the LGBT community is beneficial to the greater society in other ways.
No argument but in developing policy, especially if you understand the role of sanctity that Haigt speaks of, then morality dictates that women be placed above men.
That lifeboat scenario shows the culmination of the logic trail.
Your is not bad but take it to the extreme and you will recognize the truth of the premise. That would also place women ahead of gays exactly for the reproductive reasons you site. If for some unknown reason man had to begin over again and only one human could be saved, it would have to be a woman and hopefully a pregnant one.
Nature and logic should and does dictate morals and women first is the way to go.

It is not bigotry.
It is discrimination. Positive discrimination or affirmative action.
