Reduced birthrate? that's something we DESPERATELY need.

Yep we need it especially In first world countries where birth rate is already at an all time low. I don't think being gay even exists in third world countries.( In reality I don't know if you're being serious or sarcastic. If you're being sarcastic I agree, if you're not then the sentence outside of the brackets is your answer.)

Only five countries on earth have experience a reduction in popilation over the past 20 years,
Nauru
Albania
Hungary
Bulgaria
Russia
Nauru population decline is largely down to the younger generation not wishing to continie long standing traditions and leaving the island to make new lives for themselves.
The rest have experienced heavy immigration to neighbouring countries with a large portion of Albanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian migrating to neighbouring France, UK and Ireland, meanwhile russian population reduction is also a result of residents moving, however russians differ slightly in that their emigration patterns are much wider spread, either way the population decline is down to moving to greener pastures rather than a reduction in populace as a result of birth to death ratios.
Just how long do you think the human race as a whole can continue to expand in populace? Current UNFPA estimates put the global population hitting 8 Billion by 2025, 9 Billion by 2043 which is also around the point where most experts agree the global reserves of oil will have been used, a decade or so later reserves of gas will be gone and then by 2083 just as the population hits 10 billion, the last of the fossil fuels, coal, will expire too.
At what point do you think the hundreds of millions of cars no longer able to function, thousands of power stations that rely on fossil fuel, and as a direct result, a rapid increase in electricity and gas prices will effect the average consumer when the demand for such resources has increased over this timeframe to accomodate an additional 3 billion humans, an increase of over 35% from todays numbers?
What we NEED is a reduction in birthrates for a few decades so that demand for resources decreases along with it, until a viable clean, reliable and safe solution is found for the planets power and resource requirements.
Governments don't like population decrease because with it comes a reduction in taxable income, taxable spending and a financial flow.
Hospitals don't have enough beds for patients, Prisons are over capacity, cemetarys are starting to refuse the coffin-burrial of loves ones in favor of cremation as a result of running out of land to bury the dead, yet you think the best answer is for the population to continue to increase?
Also, refusing marriage between gay partners or implying that they should be "kept under check" is laughable.
Gay people will still be gay even if you tell them they can't get married, refusing marriage doesn't make them suddenly viable parents.
