So you're not going to even attempt to answer the question. Why, is the thought so horrifying for you?

Hater, as defined by Karfar: Anyone that doesn't agree with all of my opinions on everything, all of the time.

It's an absurdity. Gays can never be the majority population, society would cease to exist.

The voting public doesn't get a say on something that doesn't effect them. Gay marriage does not effect them. IT DOESNT

whether something is taught in schools or promoted elsewhere is a separate issue... the very act of two consenting adults being recognized by the law in the same manner everyone else is it's own issue and an issue of equality...
I think you're right - this is a civil rights issue and should be treated as such.

What's absurd about answering a hypothetical question? Why can't you do it?

Many of us so called haters were not that way until we found the world was filling up with people like you.

Theres a huge difference between hypothetical and non sequitur. Since the question you posed was based on a nearly impossible situation, it's non sequitur. A Hypothetical question would be about something that could actually happen.

If you had instead chosen bisexual instead of homosexual, it would have been borderline hypothetical since though unlikely, would actually be possible. Since humans can't reproduce asexually and are not immortal, a homosexual majority is beyond any reasonable probability. No answer would either prove or disprove your point.
