^ I think most parents do, no matter what they say, want grandchildren: they wanna see their 'line' continue. I suppose a surrogate mother/IVF would achieve that, but I still think it's a bit weird. So that's probably the main reason why many would be disappointed if their child was gay.
Outliers aside I think a case can be made that most of us would rather not have homosexual children and feel degrees of disappointment should they develop those leanings. Eventually we reach a level of maturity where we know a practice is innately unsound. Until we as a society reach the point where homosexuality is considered equivalent to heterosexuality as a natural and normal sexual preference then marriage should not be part of that process. Of course, we do know homosexuality is naturally occuring but is not part of how our species was constructed to function. I also think no one who is rational truly wishes to impede anyone's right to happiness. But I think it is correct to state that raising an unnatural act to a level of normalcy by legislation is also incorrect.
There is a middle road to this which does resolve the issue except for the demagogues on both sides of the issue.
There usually is a middle road to solve things. Funny how rarely it is used.
This is the 21st century and you still think that homosexuality is just a 'act'?
It would be nice if people could 'reach a level of maturity' where they could educate themselves about homosexuality before actively voting to restrict the civil liberties of gay and lesbian people.
How about you educate yourself about sexual orientation before talking about a 'middle ground'?

What is there to educate about? Do we even know a cause of this affliction affecting about 1% of population?
Stupidest question ever on cd. We're talking about something as simple as equal rights. It's that simple. If two people get married, and you're only concerned with what's between their legs, you are a HOMOPHOBE!

So for you gender is just what between you legs? Lol
Like not supporting the vote for women was just a 'disagreement'?
Different issue altogether and not pertinent here.
