Children Living with Homosexual Parents
Someone recently responded to a poll that I conducted as to: What are the top five challenges you face when interacting with youth? The title of this post was noted as a top challenge (children living with homosexual parents). Do you think homosexual parents influence their children to become homosexual?

It is my belief that homosexual parents can influence their children to become homosexual. Children are very absorbent and have a tendency to do what they see their parents doing. Growing up some members of my family that lived in our home were homosexuals and I felt a strong desire to entertain the idea of homosexuality, even though my parents are heterosexual.
That's powerful. Explain the word absorbent.
I don't think homosexual parents determine the sexuality of their children, just like heterosexual parents influenced their kids to become homosexuals. It's not like obesity where the parents' eating habits directly affect the child because they share the same diet. An individual will be drawn to whatever they personally desire. But I do think having homosexual parents will influence a child's choice in friendships and alliances throughout their lives.
Anonymous : since you say the parents will influence the child's choice in friendships and alliances do you think friendships and alliances can influence a child's sexuality? When children are young and impressionable do they fully know what they really desire?
I agree that children are impressionable, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will become homosexuals. It certainly opens the door and may lead to experimentation, but so is smoking weed or premarital sex, or drinking alcohol. Doesn't mean the kids will grow up to be drug addicts, sex fiends or alcohols. It doesn't set the lifestyle of homosexual in stone.
I agree it doesn't set it in stone and i agree with the other examplege. The thought arises in my mind of open doors. It may be potentially dangerous to leave an open door before a child. It's different if the open door is happened upon outside the home vs inside the home. Hence some parents give their teens alcohol bc they feel it's better for them to experience it at home first. Why even give them an open door?
I believe that homosexual parents do influence their kids to be homosexual, they train them to feel that it's okay, which God frowns on.
I think there is some serious influence in these situations just as if a parent was dealing drugs...
