Do Children of same gender marriages have more of a tendency to become GAY?

I would say most likely because they are constantly surrounded by it and might disrupt their "moral compass" without an opportunity to make their own decisions that the home of a "normal" heterosexual relationship might offer.

moral compass? I think most realize your s3xuality is genetic. Many gay individuals state that they would not choose this. It is a very difficult way to live as most are not accepting of it.

Mowgli was raised by a male bear and a male panther and still chose to be with human girls. Moral of the story................you decide.

I would say no. Straight hetro couples have kids that are same s e x oriented. I think it is more to do with something in chemical/biological makeup than upbringing.

How then can you explain a child raised in a home with straight parents who then finds him/herself to be gay? Alluding to one's "moral compass" being disrupted tends toward saying being gay is immoral. Kids brought up with same --- parents are also not "continually surrounded by it", but exposed to heterosexual lifestyles through school, friends, other parents, etc..
It is strongly held that sexual preference is a biological function, and not simply a lifestyle choice. Debatable by many but it seems to be so.

I would have to agree with others here. I don't think it is a learned behavior. No amount of teaching or exposure is going to make me like dudes. When creations like Megan Fox exist
...attraction is instinct, and it is the same for everyone regardless of taste. Besides that...I don't see how morality comes into play...I know ALOT of heterosexuals that have absolutely no morals.

i'm on the fence here...
one one hand, i don't think a child of a same s3x marriage has the upbringing to know what a man/woman is supposed to grow from. but, i also think nature has part in it as well. examples:
sister in law is guay. she has spurned almost every male member of her family (won't talk to her father or brother, i don't think she likes me or her cousins' husbands). her father/mother got divorced when she was a teen...went to college and voila she's guay, in a relationship, and now has a daughter that her wife gave birth to. funny thing is, sis-in-law treats her like a boy, where sis-in-law's wife treats her like a girl. (this is nurture IMO)
two of their guay friends have a 2 year old son, who was running around in a DRESS and was being told that he was very pretty... (nuture again... how on earth is he going to know he's supposed to be handsome and NOT wearing a dress when his mothers and all their guay friends are treating him like a girl...)
here's the nature part:
i have a friend who is transgender. the best explanation he-turned-she can get is that in the womb, his/her brain was washed with too much estrogen at a time where it should have been washed with testosterone... s/he was a very "normal" boy. parents are not divorced, had a younger brother that he picked on, but never really knew how to be around the brother/father. for 15 years, he struggled with not understanding why his brain was acting "weird" and was very self destructive.
since getting the estrogen treatment, and dressing like a woman, and acting like a woman, she is one as normal of a woman (well, as normal as they can get...) as any gender-birthed women out there. and yes... she's now talking about dating guys...
so... i honestly think it's a mixture of nature AND nurture... but i truly think in a same s3x marriage the nurture is at an extreme advantage...

one other thing: laws of average means that there should have been a higher percentage of guay/transgender kids when i was in high school (back in early 90's) yet i can only think of one who semi acted guay. why is it that since it is not taboo anymore to be guay that there are a ton more people coming out all over the place? heck, ive even heard of 12yo's saying they are guay... you'd NEVER have heard of that back in the day...

All I have to say is a person is a person and you shouldn't try and take that away or make them feel like they are better dead. All there is to life is happiness...if you have that, nothing else seems to matter.

I differ in opinion....although I also see evidence that preference may be related to biological makeup, "lifestyle choice" is just that, a choice. They choose whether to act upon their curiosity/desires while fighting religious and popular social beliefs.
In response to the OP, no doubt it plays a role. If there were/are any tendancies/curiosity, there will be less social inhibitions standing in their way.

There's definitely all types. There are those truly guay, born that way. More power to them I guess?
But you're absolutely foolings yourself if you don't think there's those that are doing it because it's cool (Lohan), and or these 'men haterz' types.
As far as parents, I will simply add what I've seen over my short time here, good parents are good parents. But I've seen a number of these couples, maybe it's me being shortsighted, but the kids, the boys at least, they don't seem like the type that plays peewee football...

If it was genetic it would tend to run in families more.
I vote all the above. There are cases where homosexuals have been "cured" and lived happy lives afterward. I believe those people probably did "learn" to be gay.
On the other hand I personally know two different people who were married with kids in otherwise happy marriages who "turned" gay in their mid 30's. How do you learn to be gay when you're in a good marriage? That obviously wasn't a conscious choice.
I personally believe it is something that develops as part of your personality for whatever reason. Kinda like the reason some people are attracted to blonds or some other specific trait in a person.

every gay person I know, made a choice. And they say they made a choice. It wasn't something that just happened.
