A second, major issue remains in considering the possibility of homosexuality as genetics: child-bearing. The central function of heterosexual intercourse is procreation. All other aspects of heterosexual sex are subsidiary to the procreative function. The failure to recognize procreation as the primary purpose and recreation as secondary in human sexuality has led to the current epidemic in out-of-wedlock births in American society. The innate drive of males to spread their “pollen” as widely as possible says much about the nature of homosexual behavior as it does about homosexual behavior. Consider the following comments from Townhall.com, posted by Michael Medved.
“In their push for government endorsement of same-sex unions, gay advocates insist they only want to extend the institution of marriage, not to change it in any meaningful way. At the same time, some of the leading married activists on this issue (like author and columnist Dan Savage) admit to participating in group sex with their spouses and rejecting heterosexual standards of monogamy. A New York Times Magazine profile of gay “married couples” revealed that nearly all of them practiced “open,” non-exclusive relationships. While man-woman couples often fall short of perfect fidelity, they rarely hold up sexual adventurism as a new ideal. Overwhelming majorities of Americans say cheating is wrong in all cases, so when prominent gay activists openly, proudly stray, they signal their unmistakable intention to redefine marital norms in a radical way.”
Unlike heterosexual intercourse, sex for homosexual males is purely recreational? Sex between two men or two women ultimately can serve no purpose other than pleasure. Procreation is not and cannot be a logical urge for homosexuals. Procreation is not a biological possibility for homosexuals, as is the case for heterosexuals.
The only way in which homosexuals can produce children is through artificial insemination. Sperm is provided by the male and a woman’s egg is artificially fertilized through a clinical procedure. To make a baby requires a man and a woman, whether they actually engage in sex or not. Ironically, the whole process assumes the normalcy and necessity of heterosexuality.
Since procreation is not a function of homosexuality, why would homosexuals even desire children? Why would homosexuals possess a trait which is the product of heterosexuality? One thing, desiring/bearing children, cannot follow logically the other, homosexuality. No argument can be made for procreation as a “normal” urge of homosexuality.
Essentially, we are all heterosexual and thus possess the procreative urge. Not all heterosexuals can have children. Infertility and some social conditions prevent child-bearing. Others choose, for a variety of reasons, to remain celibate, or to prevent pregnancy through birth control. Nonetheless, every time a man and a woman engage in intercourse, pregnancy is a possibility. Since such is the case, procreation is normal for heterosexuals and abnormal for homosexuals. Why should one have an urge to do what is impossible for them to do?
If, one the other hand, homosexuality has environmental causes and has no genetic basis, then the desire for children by homosexuals is more easily understood. One would think a genetic basis for homosexuality would make sperm production in male homosexuals and egg production in female homosexuals an impossibility. Why produce something which is of no use. If we ascribe to evolutionary theory, we would be required to admit that after a period of time, an unused, purposeless trait would cease to function or even appear at all. Yet, if homosexuality is not genetic, then sperm and eggs are more easily understood.
The homosexual population needs to come to terms with the truth about themselves. They cannot be both homosexual and heterosexual. Marriage and children are exclusively the products of heterosexual relationships. Companionship and recreation do not equate to marriage and family. If homosexuality is genetic, then, certain genetic facts must be admitted. If homosexuality is environmental, an entirely different set of realities must be accepted.
