It still hinges on the case being proven that you could actually make someone more likely to become homosexual if the parents are


Yeah, I agree. It does all pretty much ride on that. I do tend to think though that you might be putting the cart before the horse with this:

Is it not much more likely that, instead, children who happen to be homosexual and have heterosexual parents are more likely to grow up in an environment that disapproves of them, and therefore they will feel that they have to keep their sexuality secret?



Perhaps I'm over estimating the influence parents have, or perhaps you're under-estimating their affect.
I am a believer in "Monkey see, monkey do".

there is a point to be made in the opposite direction.

if a child is homosexual, who is most likely to treat them with the understanding they need? homosexual parents, or heterosexual parents? who's less likely to be homophobic?



You're right, the homosexual parents might have a greater chance of being empathetic and understanding.
I'm going to throw the unconditional love you have for your child in there just not to write off hetrosexual parents ability to support their child, but I concede that there are children too afraid to tell their parents through fear of judgement (arguable that in some cases this may be justifyable fear, and in other cases their own fear being un-justified).

However, in my mind, if they do have a greater chance of being homosexual because of their parents being homosexual too, then surely the need for this understanding would be reduced if they was in a hetrosexual environment because there is less chance of them being homosexual?
Hmm, kinda weak arguement I suppose, and leaves a prejudice taste in my mouth actually, or at least an ignorant attitude (avoid the issue altogether then we dont need to understand it!1!!!1!!), but I can kinda see this point.


Meh, all I know is, I love my child already before it being born, and I only want the best, most happy life for them.

I think we can at least agree that the world would be happier if only the homophobes would grow up and learn some understanding. Then whether or not having homosexual parents means there is more chance of you being homosexual would be a mute, irrelevant point.

Homosexuals are just people. My Brother has never hurt anyone. I love him with all my heart, I hate seeing the suffering he endures.
