Gay Reproduction may be more Moral than Straight Reproduction

Yes it would. That doesn't mean I would take it up the poop shoot....and your personal preference would be men, since everyone turned gay.

Not exactly the point of the OP. Homosexuality alone would prevent more children.
Only because they are more likely not to have sex with opposite sex so what is your point?

That you don't need to have gay sex to be gay, and an entire population of homosexuals would most likely never be in a situation where heterosexual sex would occur, except for the sake of reproduction, as the OP states.
In short, that your rebuttal to the OP had nothing to do with the OP.
I will never have sex with anyone that is the same sex as me. How is that for a rebuttal? I don't think gay people are better representatives of birth control either.

It's not a rebuttal at all really, since the OP's argument does not hinge on engaging in homosexual sex acts.

We might have to define our terms here. I am not sure I know exactly what you mean.
I guess you mean that if you were gay you would abstain from acting on your urges, affections, and attractions and deny that they are part of your identity. It's not that big a stretch really. You'd just be acting like gay Republicans do.

Personally, I believe that the only ethical/moral method of reproduction is that which I believe God designed. In other words, I believe that only vaginal sexual intercourse without contraception between one man and one woman is the only way that is moral to reproduce.

I'm sorry. I thought that the topic at hand was the morality of gay versus straight reproduction?

Sex. Obviously there is no such thing as "gay reproduction".
And if you'll notice, the only way the OP suggests we reproduce is via vaginal intercourse, with artificial insemination reserved "for the squeamish".

Actually there is - in the sense that gay people can reproduce. The phrase can refer to the "who" rather than the "how".
But, I am not sure what that other poster was referring to; perhaps, she was considering nonsexual stem cell reproduction?
I re-read your post and I agree that people do not need to have sex with the same sex to be considered gay. However, if it wasn't for the qualms of society gay people would have no need to reproduce or act as if they should be something they aren't.

That's not well thought out. Assuming everyone took the gay pill, even then why would humans become extinct? How many gay persons right now have children? Do you have any clue? Don't you think most people (all gay in this scenario) would want children? What would stop them from having chidren??
It was a follow up to my previous post. If you think otherwise then you probably agree with Intelligent Design and think all humans and species serve a particular purpose too - to reproduce and make babies, not have relationships with other individuals.

I am having trouble tracking the logic of your posts. I do not believe in intelligent design. I do believe that most humans want children and relationships with other people. There is no need to pit one against the other.

I disagree. There are ways that the population would be able to continue in such a case, assuming everyone took the pill. Artificial insemination is one possibility. Another possibility is that some people could choose to to have sexual intercourse with a person of the opposite sex with the intention of conceiving a child.
