...gay before it was born, would you take it?

I think I would. Just so there wouldn't be any drama about it later. I could tell my kid from the get-go that I know that they're gay.

What say you, OT?

Sorry for no poll. Can't use one yet since my last thread had one.

I would. I wouldn't abort or anything (I'm sure there would be many who would, even if they were pro-life) but I'd really like to know something like that since I'm pretty much the last person in my family. Kind of need someone to keep the whole family line thing going.

I really wouldn't care if I saw it or not. I'd love them just the same.

Nope. I'd let him find out on his own who he is. Doesn't mean you can't present your child with a tolerant home life that is supportive of his decisions.

Those are my thoughts exactly. Didn't want to do the whole "this" thing though. I'd rather not know, because I'd be afraid of treating him/her different even if subconciously. But either way, most people would love them all the same - at least I would hope.

Hah, I knew the thread pertained to being gay before I even clicked on it. No, I don't think I would. If I knew, I would probably be inclined to treat him differently than I normally would have and I wouldn't want that.

That's really nothing to joke about. And I feel sorry for you if you really do feel that way and aren't just trying to stir up some controversy.

Well, for example, you buy your son some race cars toys. But he doesn't like them. He'd rather have the barbie doll.

I have a child. You don't raise a child with sexual orientation as a guide. I've just loved my child.

I don't think being homosexual necessarily means you play with Barbie dolls as a child. :P I don't believe sexuality even really comes into play that early on. I'd still watch sports with him, take him fishing, fatherly stuff like that.

interesting question but a part of me doesnt agree with the notion that homosexuality might be inborn, still if it was somehow proven then i might just go for that test

no, I think I'd rather find out later/on my own/on their own.

plus, the test could be wrong. Think about it: you'd raise your kid thinking he was gay when in fact he is really straight. No bueno
