Going back to what I said earlier, it's not like there's any danger of humanity going extinct anytime soon. We have 7 billion people and counting. 2-4% of the world's population who are LGBT arent going to make such a dramatic dent in the situation.
And 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.
If it ever became necessary for gay people to reproduce, you would not have to actually have sex with a woman. If you masturbate into a cup, you can hand that to a woman who can transfer your semen into a turkey baster (or syringe without a needle) and then insert that into her. In fact, you could leave it in a room and never have to even see a woman. Of course, there is likely specialized equipment that is essentially the same sort of thing, that is used at sperm donation centers. You could be looking at gay porn or have another man help you extract your semen.
Of course, as you say, there is no danger that you are going to need to reproduce. The real danger is, too many people are reproducing. We should encourage people to have less children. Whether that is with people choosing gay sex, or people using good birth control, makes no difference for the desired outcome.
As things are, homosexuality is not a problem for the world. It is religious twits who hate it and then try to make up "reasons" to support their religious views, who are a problem. As things are, it would be better if more people were gay. If sexual orientation were a choice, I likely would have chosen to be gay as a way to say "fuck you!" to Christian jerks who disapprove. Jerks deserve to be offended.
