Yes, that seems to be their latest fad, lol.

Okay, suppose they do want to adopt. People shouldn't assume, however, that b/c they might raise children, that that means they are going to increase the number of homosexuals in society. I mean, look at it this way: think of the homosexuals you've known. How many of them were raised by a homosexual couple? Most of the ones I know delight in ridiculing the marriages of their parents, and from their stories, it is very clear that their parents were heterosexuals.

And then they get to the part about their parents' reactions to the news that they, the offspring, were homosexual. Invariably, they have a tale of how their parents were in denial about it, or how their parents took a deep breath and gamely forced themselves to "accept their child as he/she is". Or something along those lines.

So, IOW, all those heterosexual couples had at least one homosexual child each, and yet for the life of them, they couldn't get said child to BE a heterosexual. (I firmly believe that many of those parents tried to get their child to be heterosexual, though.) SO, what makes anyone think that a child who wants to be heterosexual will listen even if his/her parents are preaching the joys of homosexuality to him/her every day?

Children are stubborn little critters. When they get to their teens, invariably they go through a stage in which they rebel against anything their parents have preached. In the end, the child forges his/her own identity, and it's never exactly the same as the parent's. I don't believe that being raised by a "same-sex couple" will increase the chances of a person's being a homosexual. While gender orientation is not purely a product of one's genes, still, each person draws the line and insists on deciding some things for HIMSELF!

I really feel it is more insidious than your explanation, as I feel that many gays are looking for an uncontaminated supply, so to speak. But it helps to explains why the Baby Boomer generation is so different from THEIR parents. The Beat generation is also their parents,the WWII generation, and they loved to dabble in socialism. I think the BBoomers took on the more extreme behaviors, as a way of rebelling. And that the current younger generation is taking on conservatism as a way of rebelling against the BBoomers.
