If all men were homosexual, it's clear that the species would stop existing. Assuming you're a normal person and you believe that it's good for humanity to continue, then this outcome would assuredly be a bad one. Hence, homosexuality is bad. (Not being homosexual, mind you, but acting homosexual. Obviously being homosexual doesn't negate the possibility of reproducing.)

That's fairly illogical.
How do you define "acting homosexual"? I assume you mean engaging in some form of sexual intercourse. According to Kant's and your own argument, "practicing celibacy", as it doesn't further the population, would also be considered morally "bad." Do you really believe that to be the case? Perhaps you believe that all people should reproduce. However, that would undoubtedly lead to overpopulation and the depletion of needed resources throughout the world - and the human race would cease to exist. Assuming you're a normal person and you believe that it's good for humanity to continue, then this outcome would

Interesting. Okay, I definitely see what you mean about Kant's theory. I think I realized that, but as you said, I based my argument on the assumption that you believed it direct proof.
Give me a couple days to think about this. I feel there are some errors in your argument that I need some more time to pick apart, and I could certainly argue that fear of overpopulation is indeed well-founded (though the mention of it didn't help my argument all that much)...but to be honest, I'm just not in the mood to debate this right now. I will get back to you, though.
Anyway, it's rather odd debating someone I really don't know at all. So, hey there, nice to meet you, John - I'm Kelsey. Are you a Triviumite, too?
you know what your problem is? you're all brains, not enough cock and balls. haha just playin, even though you look smart i know that, deep down, you are retarded
thanks Joe. It's nice to know my friends got my back. I would say though, that you're all cock and balls and not enough brains. ha what you mean is that I rountinely make very poor decisions. guilty as charged.
haha yeah guy, i'd have to disagree. i'm neither all cock and balls nor all brain... i vacillate between two extremes. you know i got your back player.
