If you knew your unborn child was going to be gay, would you abort him/her?

nope, y would u even ask such a thing

Because, if homosexuality is a sin and damnable by God, why would you willingly bring a person who will go to hell into this world?

Some religions allow homosexual desires as long as they're kept internal. As long as a person doesn't act on those desires, then they wouldn't necessarily go to hell.

As for the question though, researches aren't even sure if a gay gene even exists. And if they so find gay gene, then there would still be uncertainty on the impact of genetic factors versus environmental factors, sociological factors, psychological factors, etc. If the gay gene did exist, then it could be possible that even with the gene, then you could ultimately heterosexual due to other, more significant factors. And vice versa; you could be born without any homosexual tendencies, yet could still become gay in the future due to psychological/environmental factors. There's a lot of uncertainty on the causes of homosexuality.

But none of that was on topic...If somehow I was certain that my child would become gay, then no, I wouldn't abort him. I would probably be a bit moved that he's gay, but that doesn't warrant abortion. There are very few (if any) valid reasons to abort an unborn baby imo, so of course something as insignificant as sexual preference wouldn't really be a factor.
