I told my wife about some of the ridiculous arguments being put forward to justify this blatant bigotry, and she made a good point. Even if every single person woke up gay tomorrow, it wouldn't make any difference. People would carry on having children through sperm donation and surrogates. Again, it doesn't even make any sense. It's another ludicrous rationalization to cover simple bigotry.
It's called homophobia for a reason. Clearly these people are scared of gays, want to see them ostracized and will make up any nonsense to convince themselves it's not just pure fear.
Can't run from your own shadow though.
Sperm donation and surrogates would just be a hack solution to the problems that would arise. Not enough gays would voluntarily reproduce that way. If everyone turned gay, it would be the end of humanity unless the state simply made it an objective to farm enough offspring for humanity to continue.
Ask your wife if sperm donation or artificial fertility add value to gays....because that seems to be her position.
