We queer people are a threat to the reproduction of labor. Literally, I will never reproduce. That means I'm not going to create more workers to feed the labor force, which means the labor market will become tighter because I have the audacity to not do my duty to the money line.

In order for wages to stay low we must be stopped from our assault on the labor force!

God forbid we don’t overpopulate the planet.

By that line of reasoning, I’m also not helping. I’ve got one kid and that’s good enough for my wife and I… which is a reduction from the two people who made her, so a 50% cut in the workforce! How will the shareholders ever keep their year over year profits increasing?!

Not so fast. You can do your duty to the Economy by adopting and raising children, reducing the children's burden on the State and transforming them into productive adult drones who will work for low wages (and who might later reproduce)! Really, unless you adopted three children while reading this, you have been negligent.
