Kurtle Wrote:No, I didn't mean it in that regard. The positions and people you listed have chosen to take vows of celibacy but if they wished to they would be able to procreate. However, some homosexuals would never be able to procreate with members of the opposite sex to some extent which is what I meant.
Of course they could - there is an example in another thread of someone's aunt sleeping with a gay man because she wanted a child, but didn't want the person to enjoy the sex. And those who took the vows actually cannot, without violating said vows - the vows are meant to be lifelong, and a holy pact with god. Violating that pact is a pretty major offense from my understanding. Gay people can also use surrogates to create new life, or can use laboratory methods. So the "gay people can't make babies" argument doesn't work. You would also have to hold women with ovarian cancer and men with testicular cancer, as they can't ever procreate in most cases (assuming removal of affected organs)
