Very well said!
I couldn't agree more.

What it basically comes down to, is: does a person have an attribute which they were born with - or which otherwise came about due to no fault of their own?

Being partially-sighted is not a choice.
Having cerebray palsy is not a choice.
Being infertile is not a choice.
Being homosexual is not a choice.
Being heterosexual is not a choice.

Basically - if someone is a certain way, and they did not choose to be that way, then there is no reason to deliberately deny them the opportunities which are available to other people - if there is a reasonable way to circumvent their circumstances.

Being hetreosexual is a choice
being made by all those suspiciously homophobic men.

erm...no
No, it really isn't. It's hard-coded into the DNA, because that's how the species procreates.

Now, I don't care which side your bread is buttered, but no amount of rug-munching or rootling round in the vegemite valley of love is going to end up with Mr Sperm bumping into Ms Egg in a dark fallopian tube, having a good time and settling down to some serious cellular mitosis in the Uterus suburbs.

Look, blowjobs are no good from a biological point of view, no matter how much fun they may be - sorry Mr Gay and Mrs Lesbian - you can't breed with your own gender. Only £Thousands of (generally) tax-payers' money pissed away on IVF or surrogacy will allow that and frankly, as a tax payer, I'd rather that money went on things that save lives, not a lifestyle accesory for the trendy same-sex couple down the road.

Sorry, but that's just my view - I don't hate teh gays, I just think that the cash is better spent elsewhere if it's on the NHS. Same goes for IVF as a whole, though.

Err WTF?
Bit of biology here. For a normally fertile rug muncher, you don't need IVF or any of that high tech stuff. Just a willing wanker and a turkey baster. Job done

Oh and teh gays of either biological persuasion can adopt if they can hack being patronised by social workers
