What benefits do you see Mouse?
As far as the practice being consigned to oblivion, isn't that the aim of the Pope?
It could be that it's a natural weakener for the human race. Hetrosexuality is far less important to a race so numerically dominant over it's surroundings.
However, given that Islam and Catholicism ban homosexuality, and Catholicism bans contraception,
the battle for the minds of the Protestant west is in a sense irrelevent. Even if America in a thrice suddenly became openly endorsing of all things homosexual, and in fact the mjority of Americans became exclusively homosexual, their numbers would dwindle, leaving Islamic and Catholic nations as possessing far greater numerical superiority.
We can hypothesise endlessly about how, and in what manner those nations would achieve dominance, but it would be an inevitability.
It is a reality, that a culture dominant at the top of humanity ends up being choked on the fruits of it's success and starts an inexorible decline. Homosexuality has often been linked to a sucessful and "decadent" society.
Affluence is linked to stagnation in population growth. Europes population figures today are a prime example.
Perhaps that is the natural "evener".
