Well, let's see. I know one gay man who's been in a very stable relationship for about 20 years. 15 years ago or so they decided they wanted a child, so he and a close female friend did artificial insemination and had one. He's a great kid too--one of the most well-adjusted children I've ever met. And, in case you're wondering if he caught gay from his two daddies, he has a lovely girlfriend. So, anecdotally at least, so much for both nature and nurture.
A lesbian couple I know is doing artificial insemination right now. They've done a couple rounds of it with no luck yet, but they're still trying.
My fifth grade teacher, who I'm still in touch with, had two kids with her husband before divorcing him and coming out. She's in a wonderful relationship, which her kids support wholeheartedly. Both of them are married to people of the opposite sex.
Then there's adoption cases--and there are PLENTY of those.
This happens A LOT. Way more than you might think if you didn't actually know any gay people.
