Gay couples can have surrogates, or invitro, or adopt; hetero couples can do the same, either if one partner has difficulty in the
conception process or the carrying process, or if they simply choose to opt for a "non-normal" pregnancy. Either way, a family unit is still a family unit. And until recently, state and federal laws in the US chose to recognize hetero family units and the benefits bestowed upon them, but did not extend those benefits or recognitions to homosexual family units.
As for the wiki post saying 3.8% of Americans identify as gay...well, I bet that percentage skews way low because a lot of Americans wouldn't "out" themselves to a poll. Think of it this way- if you took a poll of people in the US in the 1920s and asked them if they were white, black, or mixed race, you'd have a ton of light-skinned African Americans identifying as white, skewing those percentages.

According to Wiki, 3.8% of Americans identified as gay. I would consider that fringe. Why is that hate? Jan 09, 18:53
no, fringe implies negative connotation. The word you are looking for is minority. They aren't on the edge of anything. {nm} Jan 09, 18:58
