Why can't homosexuality be treated like "boy/girl love?"  The only reason
homosexuals don't marry is that it is illegal for them to do so.  If
the laws  were changed,  I suspect that many would marry.  Also not 
all heterosexuals get married.  

There are homosexuals who have children.  Some lesbians are artificially 
inseminated.  Some homosexuals have children from past marriages, before
they came out of the closet.  There are also some who adopt.

There are also heterosexuals that are infertile.  Many of these people
end up adopting.  Also, there are many heterosexuals who decide not to
have children.  

The term "minority" is often used to describe a section of the population that 
is discriminated against.  Some people consider women to be a "minority"
even though 52% of our population is female.  People, who are childless by
choice, may start to feel like a minority during this election year.  Who
is-or-is not a minority, is not dependent upon reproductive ability.
Homosexual are  a minority.

 Whether or not you want to associate with homosexuals is entirely up to
you.  Whether or not the government has the right to stick its nose in
other people's private lives is another question.  I would be scared to
live in a country that tried to ban any segment of the population just
because they didn't "fit."
