I started this thread because I'm totally against governments discriminating against minorities by making laws against them but as a 50 year old man I'm not a big fan of open gayness and doubt I ever will be. This has nothing to do with a dumb book or an imaginary god it has to do with nature, if all humans were to be gay, well, we wouldn't exist.

So just because you feel uncomfortable parenting (which is a big part of parenting ((being uncomfortable)) ) or even worse, can't be bothered, other people have to have less rights than you? It's your job to help your kids understand the world, and there are lots of other and more difficult things to explain to them.
As far as your animal example, there are plenty of examples of homosexuality and bisexuality in many other animals. It happens. True, if ALL of those animals including humans were gay, they wouldn't exist. But in many species, it is a variant of the genome.
EDIT: And as for explaining, how about this. You see kids, most men like women, and most women like men. But sometimes men like men, and women like women. Like skin color, race, language, it's all this beautiful diversity that is life. Some people will be different than you, and that's ok. And I want you to know, that whomever you want to love, that's ok with me.
Not too hard right?
(That last part is the most important, because if you have a child who you find out is gay, it will suddenly be important to you, and you may end up regretting things you said or did earlier. I've seen this happen with some parents I know.)
