Back in the day, when homosexuality was discussed in fora not frequented by distinguished intellectuals, one of the points presented by "traditionalists" against the social acceptance and spread of homosexuality was that if everyone were homosexual, the human species would come to an end. But we have seen that people continue to have heterogeneous sexual desires, and our science and technology have both advanced. It is very rare that there is a need, in the "discourse" or in the practice, for a "but what if everyone did this" gotcha.
I think the call to vote because otherwise this wins, that loses, is similar in spirit to the fallacious attempt to use some sort of big-society framework to "stop homosexuality."
I think the act of voting is one of the ways in which someone can contribute to society. Other ways are, for example, offering a smile, money or physical help, depending on the situation, to others in a time of need; it is perhaps contributing to the education of the disadvantaged; it is being a good citizen; and many other contributions are possible. It is not necessary to do everything all the time.
