On a related but different topic, I am curious as to how a gay couple would go about raising a child. Would they leave the kid to make their own decision on being straight vs gay, or would they be the inverse of a traditional couple, and make the kid believe being gay is the correct way?

 

What the hell did your parents do to you? Mine never brought up the subject.

My guess is virtually every gay person does not think it's a choice. So, they will not try and make there child anything. They will just raise it like any other family.

 

 

LOL nothing. My parents are actually pretty chill. Im talking about the general consensus of society, where parents are terrified of their kids "going gay". Would gay parents be afraid of their kid "goiing straight"? Seems to be more a social thing, parents try to make their kids be like them and learn from them.

I actually think that most parents who are terrified of their kids "going gay" isn't because of moral problems they may or may not have with being gay, but instead the desire for their children not to be hurt.  Most parents want their kid to be what society perceives as normal so that they won't have to go through discrimination or be subject to meaningless hate.  So for gay parents, I can see that they wouldn't have these worries as much because they know that you can get through life being discriminated against because they have.  Most would probably present being gay and being straight as normal, neither being better or worse than the other.
