[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't see this mom's hopes for a gay child to be any different than a straight mom's hope for a straight child, and there are any number of ways that a parent can wish that without sounding like a jerk[/quote]

I feel like it is a little odd for a parent to have a "hope" either way about a child's sexuality when the child is very young.  I have an almost 3 year old that loves the color pink, playing with dolls, and mostly plays with little girls (as opposed to boys).  Maybe he will be straight, and these are just his preferences.  That's fine.  Maybe he will be gay.  That's fine too.  It is just hard to imagine any sexuality associated with him at this point.[/quote]

I hope all my kids will grow up to be straight.  Not because I wouldn't love them if they were gay, but because I think it's a harder life if you are gay.  In the same way, I hoped my kids would be right handed, not because I wouldn't love them if they were lefties, but because I think life is easier when you can use the scissors made for 90% of the population.

A majority of gayness is caused by sexual abuse or dysfunctional unstable family backgrounds. You shouldn't have to worry about them being gay unless you have the prior issues.[/quote]
