Exactly. Why pigeonhole yourself?
As for the gay parenting debate that occurred earlier in the thread: Children raised in households headed by homosexuals have similar outcomes to children raised in heterosexual households. The most common family form in a homosexual-headed family is a lesbian mother who has biological children from a previous marriage and now has a partner. This is actually a very advantageous family form compared to divorced heterosexuals, as children in these families are more likely to see both custodial parents and they also benefit from having multiple people contributing economically and emotionally to their well-being. Children of gay parents are more likely to consider homosexuality as an option and to be more open-minded about the possibility, but there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that children of homosexuals are more likely to be homosexual themselves. In other words, there is no reason to keep homosexuals from adopting or having children. None.
