It is NOT the most important all driving factor in our every waking moment....and it is not, well, whatever you were whining about in that quote above.

Reproduction is PART of our lives.  Some people try and fail.  Some people do not try at all.  Even straight people.

But it shows, again, that all you really care about is how two people HAVE sex...not which sex they are attracted to.

If a man claimed to be the king of the gays and married a woman and had 6 kids that she raised whatever religion you choose...that would be good to you because he was acting "normal".  But if they didn't have kids you'd accuse him of sodomy and condemn him from the high altar for...not reproducing?

As is typical for America...its prudishness mixed with (or caused by) religion) and not any factual reason that you oppose something.

And as is typical I will call another one out for it only to be told it has nothing to do with sex...just reproduction.  

No where did I say reproduction is "most important all driving factor in our every waking moment....". That's just something you made up in your head to try and explain your's and your bestie's feeble point.

Nobody is discussing the morality of the issue at this time, so I have no idea why you attempted to introduce it (unless see above for motivation)

Let's try a yes or no question: Is reproduction a necessary function for the existence of our species?

Now, let's just assume you provided an honest answer and stated yes.

Now if something in your brain caused you not to be able to perfrom that function would you consider that a Dysfunction?

To answer your question about the straight person. I would consider it a physical dysfunction if they could not reproduce. Hell, they might even have medical terms for the conditions.
