Slang usage changes with time. At one time, breeders was a slang term used exclusively by homosexuals to slam all heterosexual people. But for at least a decade now, it's been used online to refer to "parents" who allow their children to run wild. Usually it's shortened to BNP, which means breeder not parent. The implication is of a person who gives birth, but then doesn't try to actually raise the child. PNB means 'parent, not breeder' , which means a person who actually tries to instill manners and morals into their children.

It may be that 'breeder' is still used by homosexuals to slam all heterosexuals, but the other slang usage of breeder is growing in popularity (on and off the net), and it's used by many people who've never even heard of the homosexual slang usage that preceded the newer usage. So there's no reason to assume that the author of the piece or the people the author quotes are homosexual, based simply on their use of 'breeder' at least.

I wasn't objecting so much to the term "breeder", although I think it's vicious -as if having children is somehow an animal act. I'm appalled by the visceral disgust I often notice when I see homosexuals around children -I know this is a generalization but it's hard not to notice.

I disagree. I have heard the term 'breeder' used to describe people from red states with children by liberals. I have seen the term used to disparge parents with children. It is a slam period. My children were usually well behaved. They were punished severely (spankings,no TV, grounding,long talks kids hate those) for PDBB-public display bad behavior(family term). I think there is an anti-child bias out there. I would never take a toddler to a fancy restaurant, but if a store is for families then I expect my children to be treated politely as paying customers because that's what they are.
