According to some people who have confronted my partner and I, we are hurting
-our families
Everybody hurts their families. One of the most common ways is by not being what they wanted you to be. As a gay friend of mine used to say, you can only be who you are.
-our society by advocating the extinction of the human race
Extinction is not an imminent problem. Overpopulation is. You're doing all you can to prevent overpopulation.
-teenage girls because homosexuality leads to teenage pregnancy
Pigs can fly.
-everyone around us because our relationship grosses them out
Women with too much makeup gross me out. Cashews gross me out.
-ourselves because we'll never have biological children, get aids, etc.
We all hurt ourselves. Every choice we make (not that homosexuality is a choice) has an up side and a down side. We sacrifice our career for our children or we sacrifice our children for our career.

Who are we to say their arguments are invalid but ours are not?
I can make a valid argument that nobody should parachute out of a perfectly good airplane - but that doesn't give me the right to
prevent people from doing it.
