No, you framed it in the context of a relationship leading to children. Not quite the same thing.

I didn't say that it did. I said that it is bereft of any support outside of your own emotions. Those are two different things,. Read what I'm writing.

Your error is that you're drawing moral imperatives from biological facts, and pretending that they're not expressions of your own emotions when it's plain to see that they are.

Of course it is. Your justifications are used across the country to deprive citizens of equal protection under the law. You're goddamned straight that angers me. You should be ashamed of yourself.

... or, as is the case here, it's me calling a spade a spade. You're applying your own standards of what is right in nature to human sexuality, and then denouncing people for not adhering to those standards.

So you're a prude as well as a bigot? Gosh, you're looking more and more like a run-of-the-mill bible-beater, rather than this enlightened philosopher-"Swedenborgian".
You're putting lipstick on a pig. Sorry if you don't like me pointing it out.
