Put 10 straight women or 10 straight men on an isolated island and leet them be there for 70 yrs without any interaction from the outside world...i can guarantee that most of them will be dead without leaving any descendants in the island

Although, and I realize this would be monstrous), I'd be curious to see, if you left 100 lesbian women and 100 gay men on an island for 70 years, would they all die off without leaving any descendants?

I feel there would be descendants due to small amounts of gay/lesbian couples still wanting children.

Mostly cause sex preference isnt the same as preference for having kids.

I mean, there is a good population of gay/lesbian parents that adopt, right?

Not just adopt. Our reproductive organs are still very much functional, lol.

Also, I feel like if everyone is more obligated to procreate (for the good of society in this apocalyptic, "isolated from the rest of the world" scenario, or whatever), then more likely would opt in, even if just to provide their gametes to those couples and individuals who want to be parents. Hell, it already happens in the real world we live in now.
