I'm sure there are instances where a homosexual parent does feel that way and I think most would believe the opposite to be true, too but what about a parent hoping their child ends up a Republican and not a Democrat? Isn't this issue primarily about group acceptance more than anything else? (This also seems to me the tenet of the "I can't wait for this to NOT be newsworthy" - because society will have come to accept it, not that it will never happen again) The "natural" argument fails to account for what naturally shows up in nature and any cursory examination will reveal a plethora of information relating to it.lukeyrid13 wrote:Honest question, do you think anyone hopes that their kid ends up being gay?

I won't love my daughters any less if they tell me 20 years from now they're gay btw.
I think the issue at hand is more about having a happy and healthy child (10 fingers, 10 toes) who isn't made out by others to feel different. I'm about to become an Uncle in 6 weeks and my only concern is that my nephew comes out healthy (and my brother doesn't shoot him full of vaccines).
But let's say that when he is born he's born with 2 parts, a true hermaphrodite. How should he feel about himself in that case? How should he self-identify? How should his peers judge him?
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
"You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
