Every case is different I think. It really depends on the age of the child and how far out there the gay parent is.

Nothing is wrong with being curious, and he'd probably been even more on the DL with straight parents given that homosexuality isn't exactly commonly promoted/accepted at among them

That's the problem with ATRL you can't express factual opinions without a liberal getting upset. There is nothing wrong with what I said and if ya are curious my uncle stayed with us and he was a drag and as 7 or 8 year old kid me and my siblings were confuse seeing that daily also him dating was even more confusing.. So yes that played a big influence. I have a brother and he is fully straight he himself experimented once with a male as a "teenager" he didn't go all the way but I can assure you our heavily gay upbringing made my brother curious as a teen

To answer the 'new question', I don't think that same sex-parents influence a child's sexuality. I personally have a friend who is very much straight who has two fathers. Maybe they'd feel more comfortable with experimenting and feeling free to be whoever they want to be with same sex parents for obvious reasons.

I remember reading a thread on here asking members if they had 'daddy issues'. I was surprised to see like 90% of people replying that they had. It made me think whether sexuality is more influenced by your environment than biological. I then read some research papers on the issue that actually found a correlation between bad father/son relationships and homosexuality. I'd have to say I think it's a mix of both. I think sometimes it is a subconscious wiring of the brain, and sometimes it's to do with chemical levels. I also think there is a 'gay gene' so to say.

I personally know, as a bisexual man with a great relationship with my father, that it's not always environmental and sometimes it's just the way it is.

I think that's more to do with genetic sexual attraction disorder rather than homosexuality.

Poor kid would probably be bullied at school especially if people found out they had 2 dads

Not at all. Two totally different things.

That... is only confusing because being gay still isn't recognizable to children, we only ever seen straight relationship everywhere in the cartoons, life, etc.

[Bad Blood]

No As if every child from a straight couple is actually straight

I doubt it's as black and white as that. There's a big grey area that people aren't recongising here.

So what were the gay influences in your life growing up?

xox

My uncle stayed with us and he was a drag queen performer and we saw him almost daily fully dressed as a drag. You have to admit as a child that's may be confusing as to why Uncle is dress like mommy and not like daddy. On top of his dating life being so open in front of us it was what I would describe now "interesting" to see.. again it really depends on the gay parents and how far out there they are.. Masculinity is more wise.

Serious question! do you think it's wise for a gay man who does drag to adopt a 3 year old? From my personal experience it's not but that's just my experience.

Well what are you suggesting? I'll admit that it would probably lead to increased curiosity about the same-sex but I doubt that one singular event would trigger homosexual tendencies unless there's a lot more we're not being told.

So are you saying bisexuality could be a myth with your logic? A gay guy influenced by hetero stuff he has around him, till he opens up to sleep with girls because he saw it around?

I think it could be possible but in general I think that people are just born that way

It's just hard to explain, I personally wouldn't be making out, cuddling, etc in front of a child under 10 but that's what my uncle did and it made us curious..it's just hard to explain. My brother is older than me but he did indeed let a guy give him oral. The curiosity he develop due to seeing my gay uncle "be himself" made my brother do that.. Again it really depends how far out there the gay parent is..

While the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and American Psychiatric Association state that sexual orientation is innate, continuous or fixed throughout their lives for some people, but is fluid or changes over time for others, the American Psychological Association distinguishes between sexual orientation (an innate attraction) and sexual orientation identity (which may change at any point in a person's life). The American Psychological Association states that "sexual orientation is not a choice that can be changed at will, and that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors...is shaped at an early age...[and evidence suggests] biological, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality."

I think that gay people are born this way, that parents don't influence anything and that the question is annoying. It's 2016, it's time to end this nonsense. Some people love men, some people love women and some can fall in love with both. Who cares?
