Being gay doesn’t make you sterile. Children exist outside of nuclear families.

No, but getting rid of straight families would probably end the species since there is no longer any inherent incentive to reproduce.

No one is saying to get rid of straight families? That’s not what we mean when we criticize the nuclear family, or did someone saying “it takes a village” upthread not make that clear?

And many gay people have and want children too. It’s real funny the way that you think we have to have this specific family structure, and only this structure, or people won’t have any “inherent incentive to reproduce”, as if humanity would have even lasted this long if that was true. The nuclear family is a really recent thing

All I’m saying is that someone being homophobic isn’t an excuse to start being heterophobic.
