If there were a gay gene which could be identified in vitro, the number of gays in the population would be plummet in one generation. They wouldn't go to zero though. Religious consrvatives who don't agree with abortion would produce the only gay children.

In the alternative, it is possible in a world grown more accepting of gay sexuality that it will also be more welcoming of gay parenthood. If the differential in grandchild production between straight and gay offspring narrows, parents will be less likely to worry about the sexual orientation of their children This makes no sense whatsoever. The days of homosexuals keeping "beard" wives is long past. Gays have no natural offspring. They are evolutionary dead ends. If the differential between straight and gay reproduction "narrows", then it won't matter - the society will die off because the population is below replacement rate. That's the equivalent of social suicide.
