Interestingly, gay people do want gay children, so my statement was probably inaccurate. Others don’t care if their children are gay or straight.

It brings to mind two questions.

If they developed a genetic test for gayness (which since I don’t believe it’s genetic, they will never do, but if it IS genetic is only a matter of time), will people do the test and abort gay children? And if they do, will it earn us new allies against abortion? Will the Supreme Court find a “gay eugenics” exception to the absolute right to kill babies?

If they developed a cure for the genetic gayness (which again I don’t think they will), would the gay lobby try to outlaw the procedure?

There was a story a few years ago about deaf parents working to ensure their children were deaf as well, and fighting attempts to cure deafness, claiming the deaf culture was under attack.

Some people applauded them, and others said they were practicing a form of child abuse by working to trap children in deafness.

I can see the same thing happening with gay children at some point.

Liberal eugenics.

Probably.
