Re: Gay marriage in outer space - homo***ual aliens who don't

On the other hand, the OP's species is supposed to be "highly
advanced".  That may imply the species evolved with males and females,
but for whatever reason, now depends on cloning, or some other
technological fix.  (Such as Dan Goodman's example.)

Cryptoguy's assertion that "male" and "female" ***es are automatically
out of the question because they're extraterrestrials is...dubious.
Some form of ***ual reproduction is at least a billion years old on
Earth; it's not unreasonable to assume that it's a fairly common
element to other biospheres as well.  (Certainly not as unlikely as
intelligent life, for instance.)

As for "preachy"...Eric Max Francis, am I to take it that you've never
seen an episode of "Star Trek" in any of its incarnations?  :)
