If 20% of the population is gay, the only way to keep population growth from going negative is for the other 80% to pick up the gay slack and have more kids.
But in a 0-gay population, you already need to have 2.0-3.0 children for replacement or growth on average. If 20% are gay, the breeders have to have 25% more children to keep up.
Factoring in a 10% miscarriage rate, and the fact that the following generation will ALSO be at least 20% gay, the breeders will have to have even more kids.
100% of the population produced by 80% of 90% of 80% (straights, miscarriages, new straights) [1]/[0.8*0.9*0.8]
This means breeders need to have 73% more children, or 3.5-5.0 children per couple for society to keep up and not collapse. What do we do about this?
