If the statistics stipulate that the underlying cause is homosexuality specifically, then no I would not. See this is the problem I have with Anti Gay rhetoric. It is so hyper focused on winning or even demonizing gay people (perhaps as a way to assuage some guilt??) that it goes out of its way to fail to consider the actual underlying causes to that which it claims, like you know mitigating factors and even their own actions at times. In other words it considers a nuanced and more realistic approach to "evidence" and let's face it life in general as a literal nuisance. That's not a very strong position, from where I'm standing. If you can't back yourself without resorting to literally ignoring nuanced and underlying factors that can reasonably explain scenarios/phenomenon that "your side" is claiming is happening because of homosexuality or race or religion or whatever, then you're on shaky ground, imo. Because its basic and overtly simplistic at best and intellectually dishonest at worst.
But you know what, I have and still giving you ample opportunity to prove your position to me, so go ahead. Post some credibly accumulated stats with the analysis concluding that all of those are the result of homosexuality specifically.
Can you do this, or does the actual thoroughness of scientific research make this impossible? You tell me.
Uhh, mine didn't. Until Colonial and Christian conquest it was very nonchalant about the existence of the "homosexuality." I mean there were a few that went after them, but since they are usually considered under the protection of fearsome deities, many regional Hindus don't tend to try to harm them, in some regions they are even given holy status. Technically speaking it's illegal, thanks in no small part to the imported Christianity and probably Islam in the region. So yeah, thanks Christianity. Spreading hate and fear, just as Jesus intended I'm sure. (That was sarcasm, in case anyone can't tell.)
Ancient Rome and Greece also didn't have much issue until Christianity popped its head up.
Ancient China didn't really have distinctions between the two (homosexuality and heterosexuality.)
An ancient tribe in New Guinea had a belief that sharing semen between men promoted masculinity. Make of that what you will.
Japan repealed the outlawing of same sex relationships as early as 1880. And even then the law it repealed only appeared AFTER Western imports. The laws remain relatively progressive, if a little....."unbalanced" in Japan compared to much of the Asian world. Laws, mind you, that were usually the direct result of the Abrahamic religious influences. Since they're the only major world religions who protest too much, oh sorry, I mean condemn homosexuality specifically.
Apparently S and N Korea hasn't bothered making it illegal. That I found legitimately surprising. Also even Israel legalized it in the 60s. Good for them.

Also it is a little difficult to truly say that homosexuality was specifically condemned in much of the ancient world (excepting the ones basically made or under the rule of the Abrahamics, hmm there's a pattern here) because the modern definition didn't really exist until.......well the modern era. Not sure how they could condemn a concept they didn't even have. And interpretations of what constituted homosexual behaviour (and indeed homosexuality) differs quite widely among the regions.
Now people always fear the oddities, that's just in built tribalism. A high schooler could tell you that. So the supposed condemnation was probably just people being people and not liking a minority. I mean geez, there's entire centuries long horrible abusive phenomenons that happened specifically because of that mentality. Much of the ancient world openly practiced slavery and a good portion of the world condemned dark skinned people for generations, enslaving them, raping and pillaging them in the name of insert deity here. Are you now going to tell me that because practically everyone did that for thousands of years, having more pigmentation is thus wrong on an evolutionary or other basis?
A comedian is not a credible source of information. By their very design they purposely contort and use hyperbole to make fun of the world around them. And the "its easy being in a same sex relationship" cliche/gag/joke whatever is based on the stereotype of men being unable to communicate efficiently with the opposite sex, thus unable to understand them (men are from Mars, women from Venus.) This is hyperbole, this does not actually reflect reality. It's merely a humorous take on life.
And which philosophers, pray tell, say that it is far easier to have a relationship with someone of the same sex? I'm curious.
Also until recently they were even unable to get legally married, they face ridicule on a daily basis and contend with anti gay rhetoric comparing them to pedophiles on the regs. Oh yeah, that life sounds so freaking peachy. I'm not sure why anyone would pass that up. Everyone should be gay by now.
