On a personal level, all 8.

With regards to "opposition to homosexuality", this means, to me, recognizing from a perspective of religious conscience that homosexuality is a sinful deviation from God's intention for us to be fruitful and multiply. However, this does not mean, in any way, that I have a personal animus towards homosexuals, and I always try to treat all people with dignity and respect.

However, this does not mean, in any way, that I have a personal animus towards homosexuals, and I always try to treat all people with dignity and respect.

If that is God's intention, why did he make some people infertile?

God, in his infinite wisdom, has plans for each of our lives and challenges some spiritually more than others. Infertility certainly leads to suffering among many, yet it is a call for those who are its victims to develop an even closer relationship to God. As the Church (I'm Catholic) said in the document Donum Vitae (The Gift of Life), "The community of believers is called to shed light upon and support the suffering of those who are unable to fulfill their legitimate aspiration to motherhood and fatherhood. Spouses who find themselves in this sad situation are called to find in it an opportunity for sharing in a particular way in the Lord’s Cross, the source of spiritual fruitfulness."

 Homosexual acts, unlike infertility, are a conscious decision to do something contrary to the will of God, whereas with an infertile couple, that is not the case.
