- I don't care. I just wonder how they're going to explain it to their child. And I wonder if it will have any kind of influence on their child.
If anything, it'll probably influence the child to be accepting of more types of relationships (same-sex, heterosexual, etc.). But the fact is that the concept of a heterosexual relationship/family won't be totally alien to a kid being raised by gay parents, which is something that quite a few people against gay adoption seem to believe. Very few kids, if any, get all of their learned experience inside the home, with no knowledge of the outside world. There will be schoolkids, friends, neighbours etc. from which they will learn about different types of family. There also wouldn't, contrary to popular belief, be any 'danger' of a gay couple's kids also 'becoming gay'; there is nothing to suggest that homosexuality can be influenced in people by parents/peers/anyone (in the same way that not all people with two straight parents are straight themselves).
