If it ever came to a situation where gay people had to have children for the sake of continuing the human race, that can be arranged. gay =/= infertile. most of us actually are physically capable of having kids too. Evidence for this being that an increasing number of gays actually are having children of their own through surrogacy or sperm donorship. This all means your argument about extinction is null and void. No, most gay people are perfectly capable of having children if they double up with someone of the opposite sex to do it, and probably would if it meant the survival of humanity. However, with so many people in the world right now that's not a pressing concern.
You're also talking with this simplistic view that the sole purpose of an individual human's life is to reproduce. Sure that is an important part of life for most people and is the natural progression of a species, but it erases the choice that many people take to not have children for personal reasons. I don't think I want children, maybe one day I'll change my mind but for now I don't. Does that make me selfish? Probably according to you but eh, it's my choice.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
