A growing number of lesbians and gays.
Lesbians less inclined to get pregnant.
Gays don't.
A silent solution to overpopulation?
Nowadays a lot of lesbians and gays are producing children, thanks to sperm donation and surrogacy. So I would not say that encouraging homosexuality is a solution to the over-population problem. If you want to reduce the population pressure, then please popularize family planning.
