Please don't take HN threads into flamewar. We're trying for the opposite of that here.

Edit 2: actually, you've been posting a huge number of comments to HN and it's clear that you're using the site primarily for ideological battle. In fact it looks like you've been using it exclusively for ideological battle. That's way over the line past which we ban accounts [1], regardless of which ideology they're battling for or against. Therefore I've banned this account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

It's not "giving up" heterosexual relationships / children. It is really, really odd that heterosexual people immediately think that their way of life will be eradicated because LGBT folk are getting more options to have happy lives. Do you think that, given the option to have a relationship with an individual of the same gender, that all heterosexual people will suddenly be unwillingly seduced into homosexuality? If so, might want to examine those feelings with a qualified professional.

For some reason, “traditionalists” seem, implicitly from their arguments, to think that traditional heterosexual relationships are a horrible torture that no one (or perhaps just no one on a particular side of the asymmetrical relationship) would bear if they weren't the only option fully sanctioned by society.

neurobiology is more involved than that, you'd be surprised :)

I can think of other reasons like a couple struggling with female infertility. Those who have had kids can tell you that having children is the opposite of a selfish act.

wouldn't it mean, we need no men? After all, the fetus has to grow somewhere.

The 'right' of same-sex couples to have children via gametes their own bodies cannot produce is not at all obvious

And the 'right' of you or me to stop them is?
