All of the evidence that I know of strongly supports the notion that sexual orientation is not a choice, but inborn.
So, gays and lesbians who marry would still be gay and lesbian, but simply attempting to repress their true selves.
Do we really have a responsibility to replace the Jews killed in the Holocaust? What a weird idea, as if individuals can or should be replaced.
What a thing to wish on innocent potential spouses, that someone gay or lesbian should repress their desires and marry anyway just to raise children. Would the writer of the letter want to be married to a gay man? Would she want her children to be married to people who would rather be with someone of the same sex?
In any case, gay men and lesbians can and do raise children, whether their own biological children or adopted.
