Yes, they can be related. But they don't have to be. One can have children without being in a romantical relationship, and can be in a relationship without having children.No I am not confusing the two, however, I am reminding that they are related. Romance and sexuality don't identify, but they are not completely separate either.
That "romantically" speaking, platonically, such relations are at the same level, that I have even expressed myself over this discussion, I am not denying that. But in favoring one or the other, then considering they are at the same level romantically, but biology favors heterosexual ones, if any were to be promoted (and I took the time to underline that cause it's a set of words that has already been missed three times by the people who responded to me, or ignored at least), that would be the heterosexual relationship.
Also I don't think we're ignoring your choice of words, you're speaking hypothetically, so are we.
