Okay, so maybe nobody necessarily wants (i.e.: aims to have) a child that is homosexual. People don't generally want a child to be born with a perpensity towards depression or ADHD, or a child that is born that inclined to tempers and mood swings. I don't mean to equate homosexuality with either of those disorders, but the point stands: things that generally inconvenience mainstream society aren't usually hoped for in progeny.
Maybe people shouldn't hope for a gay child. Just as people maybe shouldn't hope for a blonde child, or a child with blue hair, or a boy or a girl. Maybe expectations should just hover around "I hope this baby is healthy." or "I hope he/she can have a happy life."
Maybe we should just be thankful the child came out with all it's fingers and toes, and weather the rest as time goes on. The true measure of a parent isn't what a parent does with a perfect child. . . no one's had a perfect child before. The true measure of a parent is how he/she helps his/her child weather hardships.
