Does anyone remember when they were twelve or thirteen, or whenever it was that you discovered the opposite sex? Do you really believe there is any power on earth that would have caused you to have a different sexual orientation? What makes you think it's any different for gay folks?

flamenco ted, everyone is on a continuum somewhere between very gay and very straight. Having gay parents isn't going to change or confuse your sexual orientation. It might, however, improve your fund of knowledge, like being able to tell the difference between homosexuals and cross-dressers. And knowing when "jokes" are thinly veiled bigotry. Would you have made your last post - with substituted stereotypes - in a discussion about black people?

Here's another radical concept: Lots of gay folks have terrible taste in clothes, and lots of straight folks always look great. Go figure.
