Excuse me.  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.

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....
