Try to get him to understand that it doesn't, under any circumstances whatsoever, make the slightest modicum of sense not to pursue desirable outcomes for the future. Even if he were correct in reasoning that gay Aspies are less likely to "succeed," it would be no more rational than it would be for an average person not to pursue "success" with vigor and self-confidence. To set oneself up for failure simply because one expects failure is both unsane and nonsensical.
Essentially, tell him to stop being stupid.
Griff is right. One thing about it. Homosexuals DO have support organizations, networking, and laws to protect them that most aspies don't. AND, if he isn't obviously homosexual, I don't see how it could hurt him. BTW That isn't meant as an insult or opinion. It is FACT that some won't hire you or do business with you if you are homosexual. Of course, the reverse is true as well. It isn't like they are going to have you followed though.
I was so busy arguing with $%^&*& that I didn't bother to answer this question!
