I am certainly not bigotted.  Humans were created male and female for a good reason, so that the human race could continue.  You obviously hold different views to me, which is your perogative, but to call me bigotted because of that difference is unnecessary.

The human race could continue without anyone ever having sex again.

If you disagree with same sex marriage, you're a bigot. Even worse if you disagree for religious reasons.

Dictionary result for bigot
/ˈbɪɡət/

noun: bigot; plural noun: bigots
a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.

May I remind you that you joined this discussion to tell people they were wrong in your view ?

P.S.  Humans weren't created male and female, the animals they evolved from already had that sexual differentiation.  Fortunately, for me that's a fact, not an opinion, so I'm not bigoted: Phew...

Very off topic, but that's an interesting thought,  Currently we still need wombs to gestate a baby.  And Oocytes.  And another source of nuclear material.  

Doesn't have to be male...

Humans were made male, female and everything Inbetween. If Christians don't like it, they should take it up with their God who made them like that.

IVF doesn't rely on having sex...

Goodness only knows where intersex people fit into that god created male/females perfect view of humans still perhaps these important facts aren't taught in faith schools.

Being born with a blend of female and male characteristics is surprisingly common: worldwide, up to 1.7% of people have intersex traits, roughly the same proportion of the population who have red hair.

When it comes to wider public awareness of what it is like to be intersex, there is almost none.

KIRK: Well, here's one thing you can be sure of, Mister. Leave any bigotry in your quarters. There's no room for it on the Bridge. Do I make myself clear?

Obviously.  But technically, taking it a stage further, in order to maintain the species, men are not required...

I've worked within an IVF Unit.  I have the utmost respect for anyone going down that route, whatever their sexual mix.
Without being silly, who is likely to get the better up bringing?  a desperately desired child, or one conceived behind the bikeshed at school?

Dunno, we need a laugh now and then
