Do children of Gay parents grow up to be Gay, explain if you may?

Answer 1

Don't be silly. Of course not.

Not that I understand the whole gay thing. However, do you think that if the parents are straight, the kids will be never be gay?

Of course, they might still turn out to be gay. And don't ask me why. (However, I am pretty sure it is a safe bet there is not a "gay gene.")

Now just sitting here, waiting to get the "thumbs down" from religious fanatics.

Speaking of which, God bless you every one!

Answer 2

Okay, is this a trick question because if two guys or two girls have sex, they won't be making children. That is like saying if a rooster lays an egg, on the roof, will it roll to the left or to the right?

That same logic means if gay is genetic, then their children could be gay, but a gay couple cannot produce children so neither the parents could have inherited gay genes and neither could their children because they wouldn't have any.

Let's say one is bisexual and divorced with a child or two gay guys adopt a young boy. That gay lifestyle would be taught, pushed, and modeled so there is at least a 50% chance that the child would be gay because that is how they were raised. Of course some children would form their own opinions much different from the way they were raised the same way gay children come from straight parents.

Really it is very similar to asking if somebody is raised as one religion, what are the chances that they will stick to it, with the exception that there are only a few gender choices and there are many religious choices. You would still expect over half of all Catholic adults, for instance, grew up Catholic.

Answer 3

First of all, the answer is no.

Just because you are raised by someone who is gay does not make you turn into a gay person. It is the same as alcoholic parents. Parents who drive to fast. Parents that do not go to church.

I know children who were raised by gay couples who are now grown and are not gay.

I think that being gay is a choice...no different than speeding on the freeway, wearing blue instead of red, etc. I realize my examples are a tad extreme but I was trying to make a point. People are who they choose to be.

I am sure somewhere out there is an adult that was raised by a gay couple that is gay...there are also grown children raised by a gay couple that are straight.

I hoped I have explained this in a manner that makes sense. People are all the same...we all need food, clothing, shelter and love. Judge people by who they are...not what they are. :-)

Answer 4

From these Gay parents,you could have 4 boys,1 gay,3 straight or 3 gay and 1 straight.
You may have 4 girls 2 gay 2 straight or 1 gay 3 straight.
You may have 2 boys and 2 girls 1 boy gay and 1 girl gay,1 boy straight 1 girl straight.
None of the children might be gay,they all might be straight.
Or they all might be Gay from these two parents.
It's not a way of living you choose,nor can you change it,unless you got drunk one night and bl_w you best friend and then ran to church and confessed,just don't drink,a one time deal won't harm you unless you go back for more.
You just asked a blanket question that keeps this type of crap going,if your the child,keep talking to your parents,and hold a loving family together,they would only want to protect you from what they went through.

Answer 5

This is not a scientific answer by no means, I honestly think that the answer is a huge NO. I'll back this up by a couple of true stories in my life. My niece has been raised by my sister-in-law and her 'husband' and she is the most boy-crazy girl that you have ever seen. One of my best friends has a gay father who has raised her ever since she was three( her mother died in a car crash ) and she is 34 years old with a beautiful daughter and is still very much in love with her husband of 12 years. A question you may ask yourself is; why is there a gay child of straight parents? Nobody knows. I don't know if my answer enlightens or further baffles you, good luck!

Answer 6

I do not think so. I believe that you are born gay if that is how you are. A lot of people disagree but do you know anyone that is gay? I have two cousins, a niece and a few friends. They all say that they were always like that. They did not know for sure until they were teenagers and their hormones kicked in but they always knew that things were not right. You do not turn out exactly like the people that raised you so why would you pick up their sexual orientation?

Answer 7

No. Either you are gay or you aren't. You can't be made to be gay or forced to be straight. Gay parent's children have the same chance of being gay as the children of straight couples. Homosexuality is genetic trait you are born with not a choice, of course there are always exceptions to the rule but the majority of gay people are born that way.

Answer 8

Do children of straight parents always grow up straight? NO
Being gay isnt defined rather you have straight or gay parents. Its what your born with and later in life you realize what you true sexual attractions are!! Theres nothing wrong with being gay. But I think kids raised by gay parents grow up to be more open minded than most kids raised by straight parents

Answer 9

Do the children of non gay parents grow up to be non gay? No, neither my last ex husband nor I were gay, but our son is. Same difference.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, just for you. One doesn't grow up to be gay. One doesn't change to become gay. One is born gay or one is not, and either way is fine and natural.

Note to Protoham: Many gay people have children. Haven't you ever heard of adoption or artificial insemination?

Answer 10

No' people tend to have different personalities and different ways of thinking. if all people inherited everything your parent did, everyone on Earth would be the same. but it is not that way. ( Example) same as religion one may believe as a Baptist, but their children may become anything but, Baptist. that is why there are so many different religions now. even if the parents teach them to be Baptist, that does not matter. they will see things in their own way. This is a little hard to explain, but I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
