    Whether or not a child decides to have children of their own will never be something a parent gets to “fear” or control, straight or gay. All 8 billion humans are conscious enough to realize that individuals aren’t responsible for perpetuating the species, and that one specific person’s genes aren’t any ideal that needs to live on.

    I’m glad you support your daughter’s chance at happiness rather than her reproduction quality!

      Oh no, I agree with you.

      That’s the whole point about being above my own fears.

      I know it isn’t my decision.

      My fear is something I can’t control. How I react to that fear is a whole other story.

      I feel like that’s the whole solution across the board. Teaching people that their nature will lead them to fear things irrationally. Their intellect is the answer.
