Would gay people not survive evolution

Post by _Rambo »

I'm having a discussion with my Mormon friend and he is saying gay people would not survive evolution cause they can't have kids. Does anyone know much about this?

Gay people can have kids.

Wouldn't the fact that there are gay people prove that they do survive evolution.

The trait keeps cropping up across the animal kingdom despite hundreds of millions of years of evolution. A parallel question is whether telemarketers will survive evolution and what can be done to stop it.

It's true. At best, homosexuality is an aberration. Most likely, it's a deep dark sin. Gay people cannot have kids via sexual reproduction. If they did, they're not gay.

According to Jurassic Park, life will find a way. If Lesbian dinosaurs can figure out how to reproduce, than gay men will find a way too.

Gay men can get erections and ejaculate into the vaginas of consenting straight and lesbian women.

Has your friend never heard of melisa ethridge.

Your friend is short sighted at best. Gay people have kids all the time. Hell even oprah did a show about a sheman having a kid.

Your Mormon friend does not want to discuss difficult questions about homosexuality hence the unthoughtful "can't have kids" schtik

Is it okay for male/female partners to acquire children via non sexual reproduction methods such as fostering, adopting etc?
