I've often wondered if the bigots who hate homosexuals (and transsexuals, but they can't /won't see/make the distinction,) somehow have a, y'know, FETISH for the potential of procreation.  I mean, do they get turned on by the fact that if they, y'know, DO IT, they potentially could be 'given' another issue to add to the six-billion-plus of us currently infesting planet earth?

So, why aren't we who are voluntarily or otherwise unable to procreate cherished for not being able to bring forth our own issue, but who can yet be wonderful, loving parents to the millions of orphans and foster children out there who need good loving homes to grow up in?

That, to me, is real compassion.  I don't know what they mean by 'compassionate conservatism', but it certainly seems hurtfully stingy on deciding who does and, more importantly, DOESN'T get the bennies.
