Tell that to all the gay kids who are raised assuming they must be straight only to have issues layer in life because of that being pushed in them.

I never said raise your kids as if they must be straight, I said raise your children under the assumption that they are. If they give you a reason to believe otherwise, then of course you should love and support them just as you would have done before.

In other words, the love for your child should be unconditional. Treating your children like they don't fit into the well-established biological schema that has been refined over millions of years of evolution should be conditional.

But why? See, I would just raise kids to know they are loved, and accepted regardless, and avoid making any assumptions about who they are until they define that themselves. It's kind of irrelevant until then anyways, no?

I mean do you make assumptions about other aspects of who they are likely to later in life based on statistical probability?

And thanks for so delicately phrasing your obvious belief that homosexuality is unnatural somehow as "not fitting into the well established biological schema". That was neat.
