> But Phillipa it's not the real deal. They can't (usually) have children. Me, I hope for grandchildren and if one of my boys turned gay I would be disappointed for that reason. I also have gay friends and often they're more artistic and sensitive, but not always. None of this is to say they are ill, unhappy or to be given therapy or treated differently. Just my groat's worth

And my parents were disappointed for a while, but I think have come to their own state and support of my life, I guess mainly because I'm an only child, they're academics, and I've had a whole slew of also genetically created biochemical imbalances, probably inherited from my mother's side.
The artistic and sensitive part is a stereotype. Sure, there are a varied number of gay individuals that one could think of as such. But I've met potential beaus or interests that were just out for "fun" and not terribly romantic or sensitive to me.
If I get my life in gear and my problems minimized I'm capable of having genetic children in lots of ways, getting together so to speak with a straight/lesbian woman that I have befriended a while for my own genetic child (or my partners') or maybe 2 children, one from each of us, surrogated.
And lesbian women can certainly have children from sperm banks just as straight women with husbands incapable of reproduction.
And then there's adoption too, so many children through foster care, however one may think about "two dads" or "two mommies", the fact is there are a lot of unwanted children in this world who could use some loving from us "sensitive" people.
