I agree -- for me, my prospective child's sexual orientation is his or her business -- if he or she is gay, I will celebrate -- if he or she is straight, I will celebrate.

And thanks for the recognition that it's not easy being "straight." I'm not "straight," but I am in a monogamous heterosexual relationship, and the pressure to get married and have children is hard to deal with. I am constantly explaining why I don't have kids or why I might choose not to have kids.

In my ideal world, every child would be wanted and celebrated, and sex or sexual identity would not be a topic that engenders a cultural crisis. Sex is important, but there are so many things that are threats to human life that we should stop focusing on who is doing whom between consenting adults.
