If you have a world even more licentious than it is now, how could one ever expect somebody to be chaste?

Chastity is probably a word most teenagers don't even know and the concept of saving yourself for marriage is laughable to most of them. Most couples now probably don't even know how to be faithful to one another. If you add for it to be commonplace for gender confusion and same sex relations to be more common, we won't have anybody at all who could ever join.
So the reason you're in favor of the Church's efforts to deny rights to homosexuals is so that more people will join the church? So this is all about recruitment?
