I'm neither a homophobe, nor am I freaked out by transgendered people. Many homosexual and transgendered people are raised in families where this is not the case. If my kids are gay or transgendered, they aren't going to be messed up by me or my husband, and told they are unnatural, or should change.

You rock.

I don't think enough families deal with the issue beforehand. How silly. Everyone should seriously consider it. What if? What if your kids are gay? Transgendered? How will you react? Will you love them less? If your answer is yes, you shouldn't have kids.
Frankly, I hope the exact same thing, for the same reasons. At least one gay child, anyway. It's so frustrating to see so many children pestered, insulted, and wrongfully treated because their parents are fucktards with this religious view or that moral view, or what have you.

I don’t need to wish those things. I am fairly certain that will already be the case. I have faith in myself as a parent. However, my kids, as gay or transgendered, would have even more of a chance of happiness and ‘productivity’ than similar children in intolerant homes. Would you want racists to raise children not of their background? I say, rather us than the parents who hate their children for being born a certain way.

Yea, but to say "Oh God I hope I have a gay child!" sounds like you'll be dissapointed if you have a straight child, so the door swings both ways. I think that parents really should just remain netural on the sexuality or taste of the child and just hope for happiness for the child and that the child is a productive member of society.

I honestly wonder why you would want your children to have a more difficult life than they have to.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with gay folks, I don't think it's unnatural or a "mental disease" or all the typical homophobic bullshit. But let's face facts and recognize that being gay in this society is harder than being straight, and puts you at a disadvantage in today's society.
Now I think it's great that you know you'd be a loving and supportive parent no matter what, but why willingly wish for your children a harder life than they could have otherwise?
Now if you're saying "better my children be gay than other people's children" and I'd get that if it were not for the fact that...well..it doesn't work that way.
There's not a gay quota out there, there's not a fixed number of homosexuals born every day. It's not like if your children are born gay then some bigots kids that would have been gay will suddenly be born hetero in order to fulfill some cosmic gay/straight balance of the universe...

Both. I have to blame myself because I'm the parent, but obviously it was partly do to the child's fault because they have a free will.
Course frankly I'm neutral. I don't mind homosexuals, I want gay-marriage to be legal, so they only way he or she could "rebel" is if they became a skinhead or something.
And even then, hey, it'd be differant from the normal bleeding heart routine. I mean look at this crap "I hope my kid is gay so I can prove a point!"
Screw your point, the only thing you should be concerned about is the well being of your child. It doesn't matter so much what you think, as rather what you do and how you continue your legacy.

She would prefer that another gay child be born to her, a woman who would not be so prejudiced and discriminate, than to a parent who would.

Don't come back with the religious "It's against god!" either, because that isn't the case. God is immaculate and perfect. He wants people to be this way for a reason if he so exists.
besides, homosexuality is 90% of the time due to a differentiation of the brain, which enables those feelings. That has been scientifically proven. Nothing wrong with it, it's just the way they were "put together" so to speak

Ahh, you're not stupid.
You're fucking retarded.
No offense, I see where you're coming from, but you sound like a parent who would make their boys play with barbies and their girls with construction sets jsut for the sake of role reversal.
Then you're not actually hearing me.
My girls play with the toys that interest them. Dresses, trucks, fairy wands, worms. "That's for boys AND girls, right mom?" is a common question my four-year old asks, because when people tell her "that's just for boys" I quickly point out that this is false.
The hell?
I'm jewish you jerkass. I picked mother theresa as an example to COUNTER the argument that gays can't be productive members of society since she was an individual who did a lot of good and, for obvious reasons, never had kids.
Do try, and I know it's hard but TRY to improve that reading comprehention, ok?
I always thought Mother Theresa was an immoral hypocrite and glory hound.
Well I must've missed that, my bad.
All I'm saying is that I think you could've worded the OP better. How about this?
I hope I have a healthy child who will be happy with himself and his life. If he turns out gay, or wants to be a transexual, then that's ok, because I will love him no matter what, and I always will, and I will tell him that no matter what path he takes in his life, he will always be my son, and I'll always tolerate his choice.
Thanks, but it doesn't quite capture my wish. My wish, however unreasonable, is that instead of being raised by bigots, a gay or transgendered child could be born to me to be raised. That's why it's phrased as a wish. If my kids are straight, that's just fine...but I would so much rather it be me and my husband raising children who would be reviled by others.
Wait, we already are...the offspring of an interracial marriage...but anyway.

Screw your point, the only thing you should be concerned about is the well being of your child. It doesn't matter so much what you think, as rather what you do and how you continue your legacy. But far be it for a liberal to understand that. What with the narscistic vacuum being where thier morales should've been..
Screw your point, whatever you actually think it is. I am concerned about the wellbeing of my children. Luckily, if they are gay or transgendered, this 'liberal' will ensure that they don't grow up thinking something is wrong with them. Too bad more parents couldn't be the adults they are supposed to be and ensure the same.

The thing is, in a way, I agree. As a parent, you should not care what sexuality your children are. You shouldn't care in the least. You should care that they be happy and healthy and content with their lives. That's all. Hoping your kids be born gay is no different then hoping they be born straights.
Now I understand that you'd rather you be the one with the gay kids over some less enlightened couple, but as I said, the sexuality of your kids in no way relates to the sexuality of other people's kids.
I honestly hope my child isn't, simply for their sake. Life can certainly more difficult for gay or transgendered people.
Of course that doesn't mean that I would love them any less.
Yes, this has been stated before, and I agree.
However, part of the reason life can be more difficult for gay and transgendered people is a lack of family support and understanding. Altering that factor would make a HUGE difference. You can put up with a lot of intolerance and stupidity when you have the rock of your family to rely on.

I mean, I'll be just as happy if they aren't, but if they are, at least I'll know that there are two people out there who won't be fucked over by their parents for the way they were born. And you can bet I would make sure they knew early on that there is nothing wrong with them...it's the people who can't handle their existence that need help.
I think you mean that you wish transgendered and gay kids had parents like you. I agree with the general sentiment, but wishing that your kids are trangendered or gay is equal to wishing they were heterosexual. I realize you'll love them either way, but I think you need to be careful with such things, Sin.

My ex and I disagree about our Daughter frequently because he's always trying to make her more "girly". She doesnt care for dresses much and she likes remote control cars, bull dozers, baseball,etc. She also likes Care Bears and Kim Possible , but for the most part, she likes "boy stuff". One example is, recently she had to get glasses. I let her pick out a case and the choices were "Bratz", "Dora the Explorer", "Cinderella", some Princess theme and Pokemon. She wanted Pokemon...but she asked me "mom, can I get this one or is it just for boys?"
Needless to say, we got the Pokemon, which I'm sure her Dad will be like ":rolleyes: "
If they had had one with a Bulldozer on it or a Baseball , I'm betting she would have chosen that.
Would you have pushed your child to get one of the girly cases? Just asking.

I don't think enough families deal with the issue beforehand. How silly. Everyone should seriously consider it. What if? What if your kids are gay? Transgendered? How will you react? Will you love them less? If your answer is yes, you shouldn't have kids.
Heres what you do if their gay you eat them. If transgendered you eat them. Silly sarcasim LOL
This is silly the whole thing if you have a child even if its gay you"ll still love it or at least 90% of the population will at least love them. Do you know anyone that would not love a child if they were gay no i dont so this is kind of silly.

May I ask you this?.....
My ex and I disagree about our Daughter frequently because he's always trying to make her more "girly". She doesnt care for dresses much and she likes remote control cars, bull dozers, baseball,etc. She also likes Care Bears and Kim Possible , but for the most part, she likes "boy stuff". One example is, recently she had to get glasses. I let her pick out a case and the choices were "Bratz", "Dora the Explorer", "Cinderella", some Princess theme and Pokemon. She wanted Pokemon...but she asked me "mom, can I get this one or is it just for boys?"
Needless to say, we got the Pokemon, which I'm sure her Dad will be like ":rolleyes: "
If they had had one with a Bulldozer on it or a Baseball , I'm betting she would have chosen that.
Would you have pushed your child to get one of the girly cases? Just asking.
Eh, I know it isn't for me, but I'm going to answear this anyways. If this was my child, I would basically let her choose whatever she wants. I'm not going to force my child to do something she doesn't want to do, simply because it's the social "norm". If my girl wants to be a tom boy, then whatever. As long as she's healthy, happy, and a productive member of society, she can bring home her girlfriends.

Guess what?
I'm a gay. One of 'the gays'. A homosexual. The only gay in the village! Except don't live in a village, and I'm pretty sure there are other gays, but still...
Are you one of the village people?
My dad took me to Castro street one time when we were in San Fran. Was he trying to raise me gay? :p
I suspect he was trying to lose you in the crowd.
Babies aren't born with sexuality preferences. And impending roles on a child only makes them not want to obey it. Why don't you just wish for the best for your children, and not make a gay ass fucking bulletin about bitch.
And all the parents that desperately hope their children turn out straight? I guess it's such a 'normal' sentiment that me highlighting it with this thread is just offensive, hmmmm?
And bitch? You are so not cool enough to call me bitch.

Hope always implies that one outcome would be more satisfactory to you than the other.
I am saying that I would be more pleased if my child did not have a fight assigned to him/her from birth. I hope they get to choose their own fights.
You seem to relish the idea of raising a champion of gay rights, even though that may be a particularly difficult life for your child.

Do you know anyone that would not love a child if they were gay no i dont so this is kind of silly.

My kids already have it tough. They are minorities, and aboriginal, in a country that is still trying to exterminate our culture. I don't relish the idea of raising a champion of gay rights...I am certain of it. Gay or not, my kids are not likely to have the distaste for those who don't share their sexuality that so many other children are raised to have. That alone, that lack of distaste, is enough to make a 'champion' in my mind, because it means they'll treat others as humans...not denigrate them because of who they like to fuck.
