What do you think of straight parents raising gay children??

I’ve heard of gay parents raising children. There are people wondering about those kids turning out to be gay or straight and all bullsh%t about this. What are your insights?

Update:

Straight parents are just proving themselves to be a traumatic and poisonous influece. We have people's stories and history to back this up.

Update 2:

Have you ever heard of the Point Foundation Scholarship??? Look it up on the internet and read those stories!!!

    My parents were straight and they raised me until one passed but I could always count on the other for good advice and a positive influence. Even after I came out. I know there are other parents out there who treat their children with love regardless of orientation, and some who are not so enlightened. That is why I believe we all need each other as a human family and I think that's the right thing to do.

    Well far as I know my parents were str8,

    but there's some doubt about my old man.

    (he used to disappear for days at a time).

    Same as blonde parents raising a red-haired

    kid, or fair skinned parents raising a dark-

    skinned kid.

    The fundie crowd write articles claiming

    that little boys who either have an abusive

    father or no father at all turn out gay, but

    I've met lots of gay guys who have great

    relationships with their dads.

    Oh, we have a monkey in the White House

    because the monkey's handlers were smart

    enough to get him to lie like h*ll to the

    religious crowd. Same with Huckle-buck &

    McCain. Same zookeepers, different monkeys.

    I think parents, regardless of the situation, should be parents. Guide there kids from right and wrong and just make sure they grow up to be good people, who eventually become good parents. I mean it the parents job to make sure the kids grow up happy. Should anything change 1 or both parties happen to be gay?

    You might be suprised about this...but, most gay children are raised by straight parents...and, have been for thousands of years. Parents being gay have NO chance of "causing" their children to be gay. If the children are gay, they would have been gay no matter whether the parents were straight, gay or bisexual.

    Gay parents have about as much of a chance making their kids gay as straight parents having making their kids straight.

    I've read studies which show children of gay parents are no more likely to be gay than children of straight parents.

    I really don't comprehend this question. It really does not make much sense to me at all. Regular man and wife have regular sex which brings forth a child. The child grows up to be gay, so what is the question? The parents did not determine the child's sexual preference, the child did, so again, what is the question??? Are you talking about adopted children that are gay and the parents knew the older child was gay when they adopted them, is this what you are talking about, and if not please give more information!!
