With birth rates declining in Western countries and populations that are falling or will soon start to fall, I feel like we need to take preventive action to avoid the LGBTQ+ community getting blamed.

If we’re not careful, the (incorrect) argument that we “can’t have kids” may be used to stir up legal changes to restrict us in the name of “saving society”.

Anyone have any suggestions on how we can avoid ending up as the scapegoats?

In my opinion, we will need to: (a) have gay and queer families stand up loud and proud wherever they are able, making sure queer parents are visible, and (b) make sure the pushes for gay adoption rights worldwide are at least as fervent as those for gay marriage.
