How many of your co-workers are gays? Do you know? If you do know, does it affect YOUR productivity at work and your personal life?
Promiscuity is not exclusive to the gay community. Neither is domestic abuse. But let us grant your argument for now. When a subgroup is living society's shadow, little can be known about them. So if we push gays back into the closets, how many of them will live the lives of Catholic priests -- celibacy? Practically none, and YOU know it. Ever heard of 'lavender marriages' ?

Even as public a life as that as a movie star, gays found ways to get with each other while still managed to keep different profiles. Am sure you recognize at least a couple famous names even though they are older than your life. So what is the point of your links? To discourage straights from turning into gays? Probably some will be discouraged but they would be statistically insignificant.
Currently, of all divorces in the US, more than 1/2 are filed by women.
Why women file for divorce more than men
Statistically, women call time on their marriages more than men. What’s with the big discrepancy – and will it stay this way?www.bbc.com
Every reason from finance to boredom to domestic abuse. Myself, I have a divorce. Not much stability in the straight community.
Accept as what? I am willing to be fair.
Anticipation of the sexual and gender development of children adopted by same-sex couples - PubMed
The present study aimed to characterize beliefs surrounding the sexual and gender development of children adopted by lesbian and gay couples. Participants were 768 Portuguese university students. Using a quasiexperimental design, participants were presented with identical descriptions of a...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Results indicated that participants, particularly males, considered children adopted by either lesbian or gay couples to have a lower probability of developing a normative sexual and gender identity than children adopted by heterosexual couples. Both men and women considered that children would emulate the sexual orientation of their same-sex parents, and that a boy's gender role behavior was more at risk if he was adopted by a lesbian couple. Moreover, men were apprehensive about the gender role behavior of a boy adopted by a gay male couple. Overall, these results indicate persistence of biased evaluations of the sexual and gender development of children adopted by lesbian and gay parents.
Basically, what the abstract says is that there a slightly higher probability that children from same-sex adoption may take on the sexual orientation of their same-sex parents. Let us say that probability is true -- for now.
How does that affect me? Nothing. You living across town or in a different state/province or in the other hemisphere? Nothing. In other words, nothing the gay community do directly affect you and me. Male prisoners who turned to other male prisoners for sexual gratification does not affect the rest of us, and they do not consider themselves to be gay. Thailand is famous for their 'lady boys' have no effects on me in the US.
So what does it mean to 'accept', I still have not received a satisfactory answer. If I say the sky is red and let us say that I even put such a banner in front of your house, does it mean you have to 'accept' what I say? No, YOU do not.
Every year, People magazine put up their 'Sexiest Man Alive' and every yr, I agreed. Aesthetically, I do say that Chris Evans (Captain America) is a handsome man, but sexually, he does nothing for me. Personally, I do not find any man sexually attractive. But if Chris Evans, like Rock Hudson of the 1950s, turned out to be gay, I would not care. So if I do not find men to be sexually attractive, does that mean I did not accept gays? No, it means I do not care, and I think this is the crux of the problem.
Homosexuality is unnatural. I have no problem saying that. But treating a fellow human being with respect and dignity in spite of his/her sexual orientation is a sign of spiritual maturity. It means I am secured in my own sexual identity without the need for external validations. If God exists, then homosexuality is between that gay man/woman and God, not between 'Mankind' or 'Humanity' and God. I believe this is where most religious people missed/lost the point. Just as the sky is blue, heterosexuality is biologically normal. But nowhere in nature does it say I have to treat homosexuality with hostility and violence in order to preserve my own existence.
I do not recall any coworker who was gay. I did meet a guy who tried to sweet-talk me into taking interest in him but I was too straight for his tricks. He was fishing and had poor ethics given his profession. Most unfortunate.
I did not assert that social issues such as "promiscuity" and "domestic abuse" are EXCLUSIVE to gay community; this was NOT my point of contention to begin with. I pointed out that gay relations are unhealthy (i.e., most vulnerable to catching STDs and/or developing health problems by virtue of anal intercourse), and gay men are very likely to have psychological problems as well (highest cases of domestic abuse among gay couples). To make it worse, gay couples are allowed to adopt children in your country. The rot is spreading because CORRUPTION OF FAMILY VALUES is now "politically correct."
This isn't just about YOU, this is about WELL BEING of the society. LGBTQ+ is a social phenomenon and movement akin to Feminism. These people are PUSHING their agenda in all aspects of life.
I was in the gaming scene. I used to play SWTOR. The game was interesting with well-crafted stories and sensible romantic interest(s) for each playable character according to its defined gender. Then I noticed a push from numerous subscribers to introduce same sex romance options for each playable character. BioWare developers accepted this nonsense. I need to be careful in how I chose my dialogues with NPCs now because I cannot undo my choices in this game. The focus have shifted to accommodating WOKE BS instead of sticking with mainstream values and good storytelling to appease all subscribers. Imagine Darth Malgus being a potential romantic interest for your MALE playable character - I won't be surprised if it gets this bad at some point. SWTOR is CRINGE now - I stopped playing and do not miss this game.
It doesn't stop at the gaming scene though. These people are PUSHING their agenda in the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY including DISNEY PRODUCTIONS that have global viewership.
It doesn't stop at the entertainment industry either. These people are pushing their agenda in SCHOOLS.
They want to brainwash and condition YOUR CHILDREN to promote their way of life.
These people do NOT respect YOUR sentiments but introducing CANCEL CULTURE everywhere. You will be subjected to shaming tactics, personal attacks and even death threats if your VIEWS DO NOT ALIGN with that of LGBTQ+ movement. Just look at experiences of J. k. Rowling.

She decided to SKIP HBO Harry Potter Reunion event:
She is a rich woman and could take a lot of flak.
But what about people who have jobs? YOU can loose your job for pushing back against LGBTQ+ movement and/or for offending LGBTQ+ coworkers where you work.

CANCEL CULTURE will get worse in time.
It is COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY of all straight people to push back against LGBTQ+ movement, therefore.
About women being responsible for majority of divorces:
Unchecked acceptance of FEMINISM led to this situation - men in your country thought that sexualizing women is a good thing. There was absolute lack of PROMOTION OF TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES in the society.
There is a hefty price to pay for accepting perversions. There is wisdom in morality, right?
There are things that you will not understand if you do not believe in God and consider yourself an animal in line with Theory of Evolution. There is wisdom in spirituality in fact. Spirituality makes you God-fearing, moralistic and better than animals as a person.
I understand that CORRUPT leaders and BRAINWASHED organizations have misused religion(s) to incite violence in pursuit of their political ambition in history and even in modern times. I believe in creating an enlightened but moralistic society with a system of legal checks and balances and promotion of scholarly education to control all manner of excesses. The pendulum should not be allowed to swing too far in either direction - LEFT or RIGHT.
There are some bold men who are speaking out against social problems on YouTube and coaching other men in the process. But much more needs to be done.
