I doubt he would CHOOSE the heterosexual or homosexual lifestyle, he'd just be born heterosexual or homosexual.
In any case, that thought did cross my mind. Hopefully he would be taking ME shopping.
I think denverian is kidding on the choose bit.
Regardless, and I know this is off topic, but I once thought I didn't want boys, thinking, as a woman, that it would be easier and more natural for me to raise a girl, thinking of all the girly things and pretty dresses and such. As fate would have it, I have 2 BOYS...and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am totally converted now. Boy children are awesome. My partner has a little girl that I consider my own and have helped raise since infancy, but man...talk about a challenge compared to the boys!
A woman I know used to say of her daughter "If I'd had her first, she'd be an only child!" (she had 3 kids and this one was particularly challenging, and was the last one/youngest)..... and I totally GET that statement after finally getting a girl!
Boys are way easier IMO. And that comes not only from a parental POV, but also from years working at a private school, doing child care, substituting, etc.

Funny that you say that about girls, because two different mothers of girls in my neighborhood have said the same thing! We were hoping for a boy and a girl, but got twin boys. On the positive side, at least I have a better idea of what goes on in little boys' heads and know what to expect. I only had one sibling, a brother, so I've never been around little girls much other than school. But having a girl would have brought balance to our home, I think. But we got what we've got and we're happy.
You know, if one of my children choose the heterosexual lifestyle, it'll be very sad and disturbing to me. I would probably grieve for a while. I've always dreamt of one of my boys doing the family proud by becoming a drag queen! And I'd just worry so much, what with the heterosexual lifestyle being so unhealthy and all. But I'd still love him!
Of course you would still love and I'm sure you'd pray that the rest of the world will accept him for who he is.
