No, it wouldn't. As I said before, I would support it simply to make my child's life easier. My support is based more on society's hostile reactions to homosexuality than to homosexuality itself.
Examples of how hostile society is to homosexuality? You can show me occasional murders like of Matthew Shephard that happen maybe once every 5 years. But I can show you DAILY gang or drug related killings in major US cities. Now what is a more serious problem?
How many shootings were there in Chicago this weekend?

You want examples? Look no farther than this forum my friend. I you CAN'T find multiple gay/gay rights threads I'll give you a cookie.

I don't think we need to see homosexuals murdered on a daily basis in order to measure society's hostility. A quick look at some polls shows that, although most Americans now say that homosexuality is acceptable, a very significant percentage still say it is not. In fact, 36% of Americans actually say same-sex relationships should be illegal. That's 1 out of 3 Americans who believes homosexuality should be criminalized, and that's significant.

So you think people's thoughts are a bigger problem than the daily gang violence in the country?
Should these people who harbor antihomosexual thoughts be jailed?
You're totally missing my point. If you don't get it by now, you just don't.
And where did I ever suggest that people should be jailed for their thoughts? What a ridiculous thing to say. Again, you're totally not getting it. Maybe you're not even trying, or maybe you're just purposely being obstinate. Whichever the case may be, I feel like I'm wasting my time responding to you. Good day, sir.

Nope as I see absolutely nothing wrong with being Gay. I don't want kids but if I did I would accept them as they are. Unless they grew up to be bigots ( racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic etc... ) in which case I would disown them.... Bigotry is not something I would gladly accept as a parent.
The only thing I would be worried about having a Gay child is the bigotry and prejudices they would encounter from ignorant bigots with all the empathy and emotional intelligence of mouldy pond-slime....
Eugenics does not appeal in the slightest. One should love and accept children for who they are rather than who we wish them to, and encourage them to be themselves unless they harm others.
