The pill is probably responsible for a bunch of crap at the societal level just like any other group of hormone changing medications taken by such a wide chunk of the population would be. But it probably has little to do with homosexuality since we have good historical record of prevalence varying inversely with persecution.

>prevalence varying inversely with persecution

No, we don't because before we didn't even count. It is possible that

1. there were fewer homosexual men in the past

2. increase in the number of homosexual men is due to less persecution

are both contemporarily true.
