Will Gay and Lesbian Marriages solve the population problem?

Likely, no. Most countries that have marriage equality already have slightly negative population growth rates (meaning the populations are already starting to shrink). The exception is the US, but America's population is only continuing to grow because of immigration into the country. If the borders were completely sealed and no one could go in or out, it would start shrinking.

So, what does that mean? Well, in the countries where marriage equality exists, if two women were married to men instead of each other, they would likely be having one or maybe two children each, if any. So the difference isn't that large.

In addition, Many queer people do bring children into the world through sperm donors and surrogate mothers. In fact, in the US, the birthrate to LGBTQ parents is only slightly lower than the birthrate to straight, heterosexual parents.

Finally, at this point, less than 10% of the general population identifies as LGBTQ. And only a small subset of that is currently in a same-sex marriage. Statistically, the numbers aren't big enough to make a large impact of any kind.

That being said, the population problem is slowly solving itself/being solved by other things. One famous model predicted that populations start out with high birth and high death rates. Think about the European Middle Ages or the American Westward Expansion Era. Loads of people died from all sorts of things, but people frequently had 10 or more babies. These two things pretty much canceled out, keeping the population more or less stable.

Then, the model states that medicine improves and the death rate drops significantly. However, people keep having lots of babies, because that's what is culturally relevant. Think about the baby boom in the 1950s and 1960s. It wasn't uncommon for one family to have 6 or 8 children, and the chances of any of them dying was quite low.

However, the model also predicts that within a few generations, society will shift to accommodate fewer deaths, and people will stop having as many babies, shrinking the population again or keeping it stable. That's what we've seen happen with most Western/"Developed" countries. Japan, most of Western and Southern Europe, Canada, the US, and many smaller Latin or South American Countries now have very small or negative growth rates. Through continued education and birth control, the decline in baby production is spreading the rest of the way around the globe. If you want to support people having fewer babies, the number one thing you can do is support education and health care for people in "Developing" countries.

That's why homosexuality is being promoted so heavily in the media ~ because there are too many people now ... as for "solving" the problem, no, that isn't going to happen. This is why the people who run the world will need to launch WW3, to kill as many as possible ... people being gay isn't going to be any kind of solution ...

No. Lgbt realtionships are already. They have always been part of society. The only thing gay marriage will do is grant lgbt realationships the same protections straight realtionships already have. So there will be no effect on population.

No. The reason is that the proportion of gay people has been constant throughout history and there is no way at all that 10% not breeding will ever offset the remaining 90% busy breeding us out of room on this rock the way they have been all throughout history.

No. It won't change anything about the population. It will just mean same sex couples can get married now.

Probably not, but hey, the good thing is they can love and take care of the kids that useless mothers and fathers throw down for drugs and other things. Http://rainbowpride.co.nr

In the US, the birth-rate is dropping.
