What does being gay/straight have to do with being a breeder/non-breeder? I've known gays to commit a pregnancy to raise a child, and straights who simply choose not to spawn. Admittedly it's more _convenient_ to be a gay non-breeder, but the commitment to personal and/or social work rather than biological reproduction is NOT a gay monopoly. >"Fighting" for gay rights does not include sinking to >the level of some straights in the gutter. But it may include making common ground with others who, even if they do screw the wrong sex, are also chafed by the over-emphasis on family concerns. From a bi-stander on the road to reproduction.... STella Calvert Do what thou wilt -- not just a good idea, it's the law!
