To repeat once again: straights are not superior to gays, couples who
are able to conceive are not superior to those who cannot. Are
physically capable people "superior" to physically handicapped ones?
Capacity itself is superior to incapacity, that's all. The inability
to conceive is a handicap, and that's one reason why heterosexuality
is superior to homosexuality.
