This is in comparison to other mental illnesses, and this is a disqualifying factor in homosexuality being a mental illness because “homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgment, reliability or general social and vocational capabilities.” (APA, 1975). There may still be more fronts on which it is a mental illness. Meanwhile as to city-dwelling lifestyles that many homosexuals live in, there are exceptions throughout and I don't think that their homosexual traits affect the pace of their lifestyle.

Regarding reproduction and homosexuals, there are certain avenues they can take such as surrogacy and sperm donation (as well as a few other methods in the works) on top of some pansexual/gender non-conforming couples that can reproduce in typical fashion.

As for molestation, this has been one of our theories aside from toxoplasmosis, competing with mainstream theories of it having a biological basis. Meanwhile there have been studies that have sought to disprove the connection - https://archive.md/Odl93 (Myth #3).
