Even if everyone was suddenly turned gay, having grown up in a patriarchal society might still leave many cis men unable to express their emotions, form meaningful connections and do anything effective about their loneliness.
yes, at first and for a long time while the perceived need for machismo gradually fades away.
hetero-normative social expectations & toxic masculinity are the biggest sources of fuel for male loneliness and the remaining parts can become manageable in a gay dominated world as it becomes clearer and clearer that there will be fewer and fewer people to exploit in search of the capitalist profit motive; thus slowly eliminating the 3rd largest fuel source for loneliness.

I don’t think it necessarily would fade away in those circumstances. You can have gay patriarchy. It’d be different than hetero patriarchy, but patriarchy is patriarchy.
Yes, I guess the economic reasons for patriarchy would still be there. Splitting productive wage labor from unpaid labor that reproduces the ability to work would still be helpful to capital.
Well I guess there wouldn’t be much of a “male lonelyness epidemic” for one.
I guess we found our solution, instead of going back in time and killing Reagan we need to make a gaygun and go back in time to give it to him!

very true, but i’m betting that it’s not going to take the same toxic form that it has now.

Okay, I’m convinced. Let’s go ahead and turn everyone gay.
Non-males are never lonely?
Anyone could be, I really just meant for it to be a joke
My bad, hard to tell bad faith from jokes sometimes.
