I take it you won't mind a gay couple adopting then? "Billy, why are your two dad holding hands?" ..."Son, I don't think you should play at Billy's anymore"

No actually I wouldn't. As long as they bring up their adopted son/daughter with an open mind, and allow them to make their own decisions. Sure, there will be gay couples that don't do that, but there are heterosexual couples that do that as well.
As far as your analogy, there is no way I would tell my kid to stop being friends with the child of a gay couple. On the other hand, there will be people that disagree with that. Both on the heterosexual and gay side. [/b][/quote]
Somehow I expect that gay couples would probably be more understanding than anyone else about letting the child grow up naturally--many of them have had difficult childhoods knowing that their own life will differ greatly from their parents' expectations for them. The last thing they'd want to do is make the same mistake with their children. The idea that the sexuality of children is determined by the sexuality of the parents (especially when those parents and the child are not even genetically linked) is ridiculous.
