I plan on having kids eventually, and I am doing so because I want to leave a legacy.
It will be a wasted effort if they decide not to breed. I think there are very sound incentives for people to not want their kids to turn out gay.
Likewise, you want your sons to be able to stand up for themselves, and not crumple in the face of adversity. I have every intention of teaching my children how to be men (or women) and that involves teaching some principles about how to live your life.
Do I think that dissapproving of a gay son will make him straight? Nope, and while I really don't want to have to deal with that, if it happens, then I am going to accept him for who he is. However, I think making it clear that certain things are not acceptable in our culture may keep my children from experimenting with things that will stigmatize them. There may be nothing 'morally' wrong with homosexual acts, but there are definately social consequences to pay.
