    Not sure I really want people like that being parents. If you view children as a status symbol and anything your “friends” view as an imperfection is unacceptable to you then what kinda parent are you going to be?

    But to be fair my narcissist mother would sometimes not totally suck.

      Thing is… they are going to be parents. They just wont be parents to someone that is LGBT. Its eugenics.

        I guess it will be a bit annoying that there will be slightly less LGBT people tens of millions of years from now compared to today. I will set an alert if you want.

        You are talking about an insanely small effect that requires a precise sequence of events

        1. Company makes a pernatal LGBT test

        2. The product actually works, which holy shit no it won’t. It is way more complicated than screening for say Down syndrome.

        3. It is widely accepted as working

        4. The average human on earth makes a few dollars a day and yet they have the money to pay for this and do reproductive counseling and decide to abort on this

        5. Somehow someway all 8 billion people have this removed from them and it is maintained for tens of millions of years to get enough distance between those future humans and us to prevent random mutations from reverting it. Hell chickens are still born with teeth in rare occasions. That is a 80 million year reversion.

        So yeah not worried. If you need something to worry about you can read up on climate change.

          There will be exactly the same amount of queer people. They just will have been subjected to even more gatekeeping and conversion therapy because it was believed that by genetically altering them they would not be queer. Which isn’t true, being queer is not a product of genetics.

              Aborting babies that have the gene? Or otherwise altering the genetics of embryos prior to development? You can use inference you know.
