This fertility boost more than compensates for the lack of offspring fathered by gay men, and keeps the “gay” genetic factors in circulation.

Gays are beneficial to society, improving its survivability aspects.
When the society over-procreates, gays can help raise some of the offspring without adding additional over-burdening of society by having their own kids.
If society were under-procreated, gays could help by having kids themselves. Just because we're not attracted doesn't mean our reproductive parts don't function.
All HIGHLY theoretical and goal based research (instead of proposing a theory and then testing it to seeif it's correct, propose a theory and then prove that it's right) Basic common sense says that homosexuals reproduce at a lower rate than heterosexuals. Ergo, homosexuals would be bred out of the gene pool over time. It's not rocket science, just very simple math.
