    Being straight will always BE the default. It’s a requirement for the survival of the species.

    Three different arguments against that:

    • Why wouldn’t bi people be the “default”?

    • Who says the survival of the species needs to be the standard by which we decide what is default?

    • You’re ignoring technology like artificial wombs. Assuming technology continues to advance, I could see the population thriving even if 100% were gay.

      • very rare in other species to have predominantly bi populations pointing to lower evolutionary advantages
      • semantics, default is the expected state
      • doesn’t exist and won’t change the evolutionary pressures for a predominantly heterosexual population
