Well obviously people don't want to live at the North Pole 🙄I still don't see any problems with overpopulation.
Overpopulation leads to poorer life styles for everyone. Recourses are limited and must be shared. If the population over extends the recourses, then people die. It has happened many times in the past.

Yes, in certain areas, cities, and some countries, but not the entire world. New York can be considered overpopulated but that city doesn't speak for entire world.
new york has enough resources handle a big population and just in case it doesn't work then they can get help from the state or the government. overpopulation is a big problem once it becomes global and some countries don't have enough money to handle it. overpopulation means more mouths to feed and some countries have a hard time enough just feeding there own population.
In my earlier comment perhaps I should have emphasized the pain part of opinion. Unlike heterosexuals homosexuals cause pain by their choice of sexuality. I agree that heterosexuals are responsible for most pain in the world, but would say that it isn't their sexuality that causes grief.
If we choose to use the correct definition of sin which is defined by religion (hence it is in this forum). If you choose not to follow a religion then sin should be irrelevant to you. By neither all major religions homosexuality is a sin, therefore it is a sin. How you perceive sin's affect on your life is the only thing that should really be being discussed.

Would you consider Buddhism to be a major religion?
Sexuality is not a sin in Buddhism.
I would personally say Buddhism is not so much a religion but a way of life as it accepts the teaching and allows the following of other religions. In my eyes a religion should claim to have the only truth. I will assume by your statement that the perception of sin's affects is more discussable than sin itself.

Buddhism is not a religion, like Christianity is not a religion.
Buddhism is many religions, just like Christianity is many religions.
My religion is Nichiren Buddhism and although sin is not a common term, it can be equated to evil karma or the 4 evil paths. Sexuality is not one of these evils.

Is it coincidence? The whole 8-fold path and 4 evil path thing? Why 2 rights for every wrong.
They say that Bisexuality is actually the dominant sexual orientation, and heterosexuality is a minority with homosexuality.
There are many "Straight" people, sooo many, who have had same sex desires and experiences. There are also many "gay" people who have had desires and experiences with the opposite sex.
Does PREFERENCE EXIST? YES ! Ofcourse it does, but the strict attraction to ONLY ONE gender is not as common as it once was.
That whole idea of how "Only 10% of United States Citizens are homosexual" is a crok of shit. So many people have admitted to having same sex desires/attractions/experimentations/dreams/curiosities and still claim "to be straight". 🙄
