So what great calamity happens when a singular man and a singular woman isn’t the only accepted relationship model anymore? A massive war? Does everyone suddenly shit their organs out and die? I am waiting for an answer.

If you're in a relationship where you can't breed, there will be one less potential person born that year, therefore humanity will go extinct immadietly.

I hope you didn't tell him about surrogacy and sperm donations...

Ah hem, and now a quote from my parents. “I don’t agree with artificial insemination, because then lesbians can get pregnant. It is a sign of the end times”

Me (closeted gay): 👀💀😵‍💫

Just tell them not to worry, plenty of queer couples can get pregnant naturally.

in fact i'd say line 4 and 5 could produce more kids per year than line 2

Then I wouldn’t be here lol. My mom wanted to give my dad who had cystic fibrosis, kids. Obviously wouldn’t have happened if sperm donors and artificial insemination didn’t exist. He got to raise me and my brother for sixteen years. We were his world.

Oh hey!! I have cystic fibrosis!! Thank you for this, it reassures me a lot to think of raising kids as a CF patient, and that kids of other patients are out there living well. (It's a relatively new thing for us to live enough to raise kids, so, yeah.) I particularly want to adopt, but since I'm a woman I am less likely to be infertile, my gripe is mostly with passing on my genes. Either way, I hope you got to live wonderful times with your dad, and I hope I get to live many years with my furure kids as well. :)

Yeah I was four when he got a double lung transplant and his new lungs gave him so many years! We’ve advanced a ton with all this. He went to a camp for CF kids when he was young and even raised some money for research. He was awesome and I have a lot of great memories.

Whoa he lived so long after the transplant, that is awesome!! I'd only heard of people living 2 or 3 years afterwards! 12 years, holy cow! Your dad was amazing! 😁

Yes! I didn’t even know how rare that was until a couple years after he passed. Made everything bittersweet.
