Boys and Girls in Space

then there is the insects with only one queen that repoduces all the
others for the next generation.

i dont know if you know any lesbians or gays, but most of the ones i
know (not many admittedly) want to have children. problem is that
society will not allow them to adapt much of the time. unless they
can find a partner of an opposite pairing, they will have little
chance of having those children, at least in america. i forsee a time
in the future that its an accepted lifestyle and arrangements will be
possible.
