People don't marry in order to have children. A homosexual couple can reproduce, they just can't reproduce through their act of love making. An infertal couple is faced with the same dilemma.

When a couple is in love with one another and they become intimate, they want to express how they feel to one another. If she is on the pill or he wearing a condom, they are engaging in a form of expression of love, not an act of reproduction. A homosexual couple is engaging in an act of love as well.

When they are ready for offspring, then they will use whatever is available to them. Find a surrogate mother. Seek out a sperm doner and have invitro fertilization. Homosexuality among humans is not a threat to the reproduction of our species.

"...A homosexual couple can reproduce...."

How?

You also obviously missed earlier posts of mine; that couple you describe cannot reproduce. It is impossible. Read a very simple book on zoology or biology if you need to, then respond.

The alternative path you describe is precisely of what I wrote earlier: it is a contrivance. It is a method that requires a heterosexual couple to produce an offspring and then offer that individual to the couple that engages in homosexual -- read nonreproductive -- acts.

A homosexual act cannot further the species. While not a threat as you use the term, it simply cannot further the species.

"A homosexual couple is engaging in an act of love as well."

Nope. They are only engaging in an act of hedonism. If they truly loved that person, they would want the highest good for them. Same gender sex is not the highest good for anyone.
