“Homosexuals assert that they are 'born' homosexual. If true, this is obviously some sort of defective genetic mutation...”
How do you know it’s defective?
How do you know it’s a mutation?
It could be a feature, not a bug. Homosexuality is practiced in many species, so maybe there is a benefit and the gene pool has preserved it. We’ve only been looking for a few years, nature’s been experimenting with it for millions…
“Further, since homosexuals, by nature, cannot reproduce,”
Incorrect. LOTS of families in the 70s, wives and kids, were upset when their fathers decided to stop living the lie and came out of the closet.
“which aids in the survival of the species,”
Maybe having adults that contribute to the defense of the herd without increasing the drain on resources is a good thing?
But, anyway, as long as heterosexual couples have babies, it seems like 10% of them will be gay.
“why should any rights be granted them period?”
They’re humans. They get rights.
If we withdraw rights based on reproduction, then we could hunt incels for sport, which is not unattractive, but also no one could vote UNTIL they had enough kids to replace the parents. And anyone infertile gets no vote.
