Even as an anti-gay person, I still think they are making a semi-smart move. I don't think that people should be gay, I do not feel that it is natural or that we should do it, but I think that gay people shouldn't be discriminated or denied services that normal people have. They're people, so they should have the same rights as us. But I don't think it should be promoted as natural or OK, as it can easily spread around as the new cool thing, which can screw with birth rates and such, even with artificial insemination.
Less and less people are having kids, and when homosexuality becomes dominant (which I doubt it will), it will make it even less common since accidental pregnancies can't occur. With less population... well, with our current dilemma, it would be a good thing, but it would quickly turn worse. As the years go by without children, there will be less people to replace them each generation, so eventually our population may drop to a very low rate. You can see how that may turn into a problem.
Also, a point I missed: gays adopting children. I don't think so. As I said earlier, I think that gay behavior shouldn't be promoted, and this will obviously promote it on an indirect level, as the children will learn it from them, and continue many problems to come. I just disagree with any moves to promote homosexuality, but I am OK with people trying to stop discrimination and give them equal rights (yes, call me a hypocrite for the adoption thing, but I still stand by it).
I think it would be OK to put some kind of gay statistics/facts in social studies, math, or whatever, as long as it isn't overdone and doesn't promote it.
