oh, I totally understood! And I think, for some unknown crazy reason, some people really *do* believe (as your friends do, I guess) that having gay parents turns you gay. Or something. Weird. As though having straight parents necessarily makes you straight. I don't get that perspective at all!

Though to be honest i hadn't ever thought about that consequence of legalizing gay marriage, that rubymiene mentioned above. Maybe it will *seem* like there is an increase in the gay population because more and more people will feel like they can come out... interesting!
