If Straight was a minority then there would be less population as compared to today and population explosion wouldn’t even exist. If this was the case, then less people would be affected during any pandemic and the death rate would be low. But if we think about it today, it would seem pretty weird but we don’t know about the future. I think if there is less population , it would mean less pollution and more healthy humans. As a result the average age of humans may increase. But there is also a huge drawback that many people’s genes would end with their death. Less population may also result in increased standard of living in urban as well as rural areas. But overall it would affect the balance of human population, male-female ratio ,etc.

I personally think that i would keep the world as it is without changing it ^-^ .

You’re buying deodorant. Your eyes examine the whole shelf, anti-perspirants, coconut and jasmine, lotus flower, 24-hours protection, invisible ice, aloe sensitive... you reach for your usual, and you deliberately don’t even look at the one at the end of the shelf, the Lynx Pride Limited Edition one with a black and white stripes, the heterosexual pride flag. A few years ago you would’ve been so excited - you would’ve bought it and kept the can long after it had gone empty, just to hype yourself up a little everytime you look at it, to feel like even your deodorant accepts you. Yeah, that would’ve been a few years ago. A few things have changed since then. Today you know how easy and cheap it is to paint a can of deodorant. There’s a special machine that paints like a thousand of them every minute, and in two months all of them are going to be thrown away, and nothing will change. It’s just a cash grab, no matter how much those old gays grumble about it. Don’t worry, your society is safe, you think to yourself bitterly as you walk to the till.

Straight hasn’t become normal, although the media paints a very different picture. Celebrities come out all the time now. When you were young, the only straights you saw on TV were caricatures and punchlines, and now they’re in every second show and series, in all shapes and sizes. They’re in political parties, even those whose supporters hate them. Every now and then historical figures are outed as old letters and memories resurface and turn the world on its head. It disturbs some people, it really does. They write countless articles about the destruction of traditional values, the dark threat to the lovely old family model, and, of course, the Church. The straights are painted simultaneously as blood-thirsty terrorists and sensitive snowflakes, who are somehow going to destroy all civilisation with memes on social media. Honestly, it’d be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

You’re home now, reading the news online. Right underneath the article about a fabulous pop singer who wasn’t afraid to kiss her boyfriend on a red carpet there is one about a mixed-gender couple who got beaten up on their way home from a nightclub. It reminds you of an incident from last year, when a teenage boy killed himself because of senseless bullying. It reminds you of the 2019 pride march that started with singing and dancing on the streets and ended 15 minutes later due to flying bricks. It reminds you that you need to keep some things to yourself for now - you can never tell your grandparents the truth about your own heart for fear that their “unconditional” love will leak out of their old faces in the blink of an eye, and your family will be torn apart. Then you scroll down a bit more and find an opinion piece about how watching straight people kiss in music videos degenerates children’s brains.

Something’s degenerating brains, for sure, but you’re pretty sure it’s not music videos.

If sexuality is a spectrum there’s not really a majority, right? More like a bell curve maybe, with a swell in the middle.

Frankly that swell in the middle is probably also bisexual with straight / gay (i.e. only attracted to a narrow definition of gender) on either end as extremes. Bisexuality makes more sense to me because it provides the flexibility to accept that anyone regardless of gender can meet your needs as a person - emotionally, romantically, sexually, etc. - and that baby-making needn’t be the end-all/be-all of relationships.

Now the baby makers might argue here “Well, we gotta make babies! You can’t beat biology!” Ah, but what if our biology is smart/adaptive on purpose? What would happen in an ecosystem where horny little critters developed thanks to the ability to have sex outside set mating cycles, but then hit a limit on the number of offspring they could feasibly support without destroying their resources needed to live? What then for their poor little overcharged sex drives? Maybe at that point having the ability for the population to shift as necessary would become a kinder environmental adaptation than simply allowing a bunch of horny breeders to overpopuate and destroy the planet due to their lack of libido control.

Just a thought. But hey, I’m team Bonobo, what do I know - I’m probably just another horny monkey :)

Also - how do we explain the prostate gland if we're all meant to be straight? I'm honestly curious here - somebody tell me why it's located where it is, please?

Then so many people would still be alive

still warm

still safe

or it would be the same

it is hard to tell with humans

so let us instead build a future

where we don't have to ask

what if

Then so many more little children would have homes.

There would not be orphanages or kids on the streets.

And

every

single

one of them

would grow up being okay with who they are.

The future is imminent

The seasons change with the weather

Not the other way around

And by the time the world stops turning

Upside down won’t begin to describe it

But it’s coming

Sure as the sky seems blue now

It’s coming

It’s not just one thing either

Everything changes

That’s the natural order of things: ever changing

And it’s the way it was written

There’s no way around it

Embrace it and know

It’s the way that things are meant to be
