So, no, having a gay uncle is actually GREAT for me.
In the hedonic sense yeah, in the genetic sense no (like obesity), because you could have cousins with extra copies of your genes. But that was just a digression - I wasn't trying to argue that homosexuality should eradicate itself genetically, I don't even believe that.
Why should a gay couple be any different, from a society's point of view, from a heterosexual couple that adopts or doesn't have children at all?
It's different because it has no chance of having biological offspring, while for hetero couples society can't know it in advance.
On your other points - I'm going into a corner to think. You made many correct statements.
- IsaacSchlueter 18y agono chance of having biological offspring, while for hetero couples society can't know it in advance. What about hetero couples where one or both of the partners are known to be sterile, possibly due to elective surgery? Also, as I noted above, many gay couples do in fact raise (one of) their biological offspring. On your other points - I'm going into a corner to think. You made many correct statements. A winnar is you, then, if you get new thoughts. Thanks for prodding me to justify all this. It's been fun. Conversations like this are why I love HN.
