ask them if they would like to worry everytime sonny picks up a new friend in the steambath.
most potential parents, if they believe the hypothesis that homosexuality is predisposed by genetics would NOT want to accept gay male sperm for artificial insemination.
that is my point, and the point is valid. it is a public choice issue, not a morality issue.

All your points in the above post relying on baseless stereotypes.
I don't disagree with you that most parents would not want their children to be homosexuals. I think that's a true and sound statement.
But I think your argument has a lot more merit when it isn't based on senseless stereotypes and generalizations. If a parent doesn't want their kid to grow up to be gay because of the steambath/americanidol/falsetto stuff, it's that parents own fault for being uninformed and ignorant.
Whereas if the parent doesn't want their own child to grow up to be gay based on the potential to have grandchildren, the child suffering through discrimination and alienation, and more sensibly reasonable reasons why a parent could have a problem with it, they can't be blamed at all for that.
