The second idea was that since humans are a part of nature, and reproduce by breeding, that there would be something inherently 'wrong' with being homosexual and inaility to breed. (In terms of implied natural order - being that all species reproduce; not in social order - where it should be completely acceptable)
Yes, through science we can allow homosexuals to copulate... this is not a normal process of nature. (In most scenarios)

Why does it have to be one extreme or the other? Why can't the truth be somewhere in the middle? (And, no, I'm not speaking for just bi-sexuals, here. Although, the existence of bi-sexuals should be brought into the discussion.)

Because that makes the possible arguments infinitely more complex. : ) I chose to keep things very simple when proposing this hypothetical.
This whole controversy is a mixture of which is the correct path in the intended natural world and the correct path in the social world. I don't think anyone (well, most - I don't know everyone here) here considers homosexuality something that reflects badly on a person, but the prupose of life is to reproduce.
I am finding all these thoughts extremely interesting though... I no longer have to debate myself in my head, I can watch it on my computer!
EDIT: @ spinelust.
I knew this would arise and prepared for it ahead of time. The argument could be made that by being homosexual your viewpoint on this matter could be 'flawed', meaning it's biased and unscientific. Much like in saying that a crazy person doesn't understand that they're crazy, and so cannot hold an opinion on the subject at hand. (I am not comparing being gay to being insane, simply drawing a connection to two situations where bias could occur...)
Just a topic for more discussion.
