Why does there need to be a reason?

We can and do procreate but as we're a minuscule 10% of the population we will not impact on it any way whatsoever.

Man is still evolving, perhaps LGBT folks are the future of mankind, maybe that's our reason for being here.

There isn't one. Not every trait has an evolutionary benefit. Like red hair. It doesn't help you or hurt you in any way. It's just red hair.

in case you're actually not gay then you definitely do not could difficulty approximately contracting illnesses from gay people besides... gay adult men may be 40 4 cases greater in all danger, i dont be attentive to if it somewhat is a actual variety, yet in sheer numbers heterosexuals probable have greater HIV, AIDS and STDs than gay people. reproduction is probable worse for the human race than ailment at this element, the international is overpopulating surprisingly inflicting a loss of materials finest to famine, drought and finally conflict. basically using fact gay people are actually not allowed to donate blood, plasma, bone marrow or sperm does not propose they seem to be a threat. people have been attempting to overturn it for years in view that's mindless. they are actually unable to donate it using fact of worry of HIV or something, yet rapidly people can carry it too, so it fairly is deeply rooted in worry. basically using fact a "learn" says many gays are actually not born gay does not propose it fairly is real. you're able to heavily study the total element with a skeptical outlook and see if it fairly is sound. information are in lots of cases manipulated, as are study. you could not end something as absolute actuality without analyzing it thoroughly to work out the place flaws ought to exist.
