If a homosexual couple has or adopts a child, will they raise him/her to be homosexual too? to be heterosexual?

I have two great girl friends who are a gay couple, and they are considering insemination to get one pregnant. They don't want to decide their child's sexual preference, but say they would love if he/she was gay too.

There's undeniable bias.
 
That's not something you get to chose. You didn't chose to be straight, you just knew you were, right? Ask your friends if they really chose to be lesbians, or if they have always felt they were more attracted to women...As for kids in same sex families, generally they are raised to be more tolerant of those who are different from themselves. Other than that, there are no real big differences in how children are raised.
 
They would love it if the child was gay ?
Hmm. Not too sure about this one.
I think the child should go their own path.
I definitely wouldn't like it if the parents influenced the kid to be gay, I think its the kids decision.
 
This so-called undeniable bias is coming from secondhand info you're giving.

Besides, who cares if the kid is gay or straight as long as it turns out to be an exceptional, loving human being and a contributing member of society?

Why do people continue to be stuck on the gay thing is beyond me - they aren't going to ruin the world just because they want to do the same thing as any normal person would. I want to know from what lofty position these people are coming from that they feel they can dictate the best way to raise a child or make predictions about the way gay people raise their children. What business is it of yours?

Oh, and just about all of the people in the gay community I know (and I know quite a few) were raised by straight parents. Real live heterosexuals.
 
Of course the parents would like the child to be like them; every parent does. However, a gay couple is not unlike another couple, in that they want a child because of an inherent wish most people have.

Just think about it: there is undeniable bias in heterosexual couples, in that they want their child to be heterosexual.

Gay couples would raise children the same way hetero couples raise them, with this difference: the children will be taught tolerance from an early age.
 
tehy shouldnt choose weather their kid is gay or not, but, they shouldn't start telling hhim/her its okay to be gay because then he/she will be real annoyed! 8)
 
This question is ridiculous and homophobic.

Parents don't determine their child's sexual preference. It's just how the person is.
