5 Reasons Why Homosexuals Are Beneficial To Society

1) They don’t reproduce

Common-sense isn’t it? I’m aware that reproduction is the basic goal of every race. But do we really need to increase our population now? Current heterosexual world population is more than enough to maintain existence. Earth is overpopulated by 7 billion people with 80% people facing poverty. What we need is the reduction in our reproduction rates. Since homosexuals cannot reproduce due to biological limitations, encouraging homosexuality is always better than forcing One Child Policy on ourselves.

2) They’re more likely to adopt

Having child is every married couple’s dream but since homosexuals cannot reproduce they adopt. Statistically, orphans are more likely to become criminals or progress less than non-orphans. But as for homosexuals adopt them, it eliminates their chance of becoming criminal (70%) and hence indirectly reducing crime rates in society along with suicide rates.

If you're curious about orphans, here are the statistics

Within two years of leaving the orphanage…

Only 27% will find work
30% will become addicted to drugs
60% of the girls will become prostitutes
70% of the boys will turn to crime
15% will commit suicide (source)

3) Same-sex parents are better parents

Unlike heterosexual parents, homosexual couples choose to be parents. Since accidental pregnancy rate is very high (50%) in straight people, there is zero chance of gay person accidentally getting pregnant by his/her partner. Hence, they can become parents only when they’re prepared. This contributes to their commitment towards parenting. Also, they tend to be more motivated than heterosexual parents

A study done by University of Melbourne after examining 315 same-sex parents and 500 children concluded that children with same-sex parents had higher scores on measure of general behavior, health and family cohesion as compared to population normative data

4) They make more money than straight people do

Unexpected isn’t it? Discriminating in pay due to sexuality is commonly known. But it is actually other way around than your expectations. It is well-documented fact that lesbians, on average make more than straight women. This difference is called “Lesbian premium”. Equally, gay men earn less than straight men UNTIL NOW.

New examination done by Christopher Carpenter and Samul Eppink shows that in the US, a gay full-time man earns 10% more than similarly employed straight man. The difference in pay persisted even when they controlled variety of factors like presence of partner, age, race, ethnicity, etc. (source)

Higher income contributes towards the stable economy.

5) They accept new things easily

One more common-sense fact! Yup since discrimination against homosexuals is still common, homosexuals are less likely to be conservative and hence more likely to be atheist since almost all faiths deny homosexuality and order their followers to kill gays. Due to the treatment they receive in early age, they tend to be more open to new things as compared to others.

Note: In this take gay refers to strictly homosexual (lesbian and gay) and not bisexual people. FYI, bisexuals are relatively less paid as compared to gay and straight people.

I wanted to add one more point, a study showing homosexuals are smarter than straight people on average but I don’t think it is credible. But if you still want to read it, check this out:

It is funny that I thought of writing “How society is forcing us to accept homosexuality” and ended up writing this, indirectly promoting same. But it’s alright, I still stand by what I said. I’ll write that take as well (which might make me a hypocrite maybe) but myTakes are to express your thoughts, aren’t they?
