Whilst I don't have any problem with gay people, I would have to be honest and say. "I would like my child to grow up straight."

Would leave the kid as nature intended. What people get up to in the privacy of their bedroom is not my concern. I'd be more worried about teaching them the importance of being ready for sex, and having safe sex, and making it clear that it was less about just boning whoever you fancy, and more about sharing yourself with someone you think is special, than whether or not they fantasise about men, women, or even both.
I can't help but think that your view of God is a supreme being who can say "I love everyone. Except you, you and you. You guys, well, you go to hell when you die. Good try, but because of the way I made you to begin with, which you had no control over, you are eternally punished for it."Ezekel said:
Which raises a good point: If there is a God with a plan for each of us, why make some people gay and then condemn them for it. It's like making a cheese sandwich, then throwing it out straight away because you're lactose intolerant - why even bother?
And a thought for people saying that its nuture that makes you gay, not nature; honestly, I don't rememeber the points in my life where my parents raised me to be gay, but also raised my sister to be straight. It's not like they plonked me down in front of a gay porno every night from my 3rd birthday telling me that I should do that when I get older.

There's a huge difference between being gay and being a whore, thanks.
Just because some chick/dude in a drunken state has sex with someone else who happens to be the same gender does not, I repeat, DOES NOT mean they "chose" to be gay.
...no more than me, in an EXTREMELY drunk and by Gawd I hope drug-induced state, having sex with a man means that I "chose" to be straight.
FFS, to reiterate wot I posted in this thread a month ago: I did not CHOOSE to like other women, it's who I am. Why would I "choose" to be hated by certain members of my family, and by many in society at large, because of the fact that I happen to be a woman with a girlfriend? Yeah. It's a blast seeing those family members at get-togethers.
The threats of bodily harm from complete strangers are a hoot, too. -_-

Because you can't have same-sex babies?
That just doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps I'm tired.

Also, will people stop calling me out on this? It was written a long time ago and frankly I don't care enough to actually discuss this at this point.
It's funny how people can think of homosexuality as a choice. Well, it's not.
On an unrelated note : I find that anyone who wishes to change the "personality" genes of his baby to better reflect how he thinks and not accept the baby for who he will be is a threat to humanity.

i would 'rather' my son be straight, but if he wasn't I wouldn't care all that much. I would 'RATHER' my daughter be a big lesbo as we men are bastards and my greatest fear would be my daughter going out and meeting someone like.... me... cause I was convincing...
1: I didn't say I was a whore, either.Zeeky_Santos said:
2: I never equated some and everyone.
3: Did you "choose" the gender that you are attracted to, or did you just "know"?
4: Untrue. I just had a Diet Coke. I'm happy. That choice was pretty easy.
5: Very true. I'd never choose a Diet Pepsi.
6: Lists are rather poor attempt to advance a discussion or idea. (Tho, they're fun to counter when I'm very tired and feeling sarcastic.)
I'm gay. I was born gay. I believe that my upbringing and society around me made it easier for me to stand up and say that and not try to hide it or be something that I am not.
I would refuse to take the test and really do not like the idea of designer babies. Choosing whether your baby is gay or straight is as distasteful to me as choosing what colour their eyes will be.
I am also in my mid 30s and have been on the wrong end of hate speech and hate-fuelled behaviour. In theory I guess I would not wish that on anyone. But like other things that try us in our lives, it builds character and shapes us as who we are. Best I would do if I had a kid that expressed themself as gay or bi or trans is to move somewhere I could feel they would be safer and be there to support them and help.
