There is not a gene that causes sexual orientation, so there is no more probability that a gay person will have biologically gay children. Rather, the cause is thought to be more environmental. That is, external factors affect the expression of genes during gestation.

Most gay people do not have biological children, however, as of 2013, more than 20% of gay households are raising children. Most children are either adopted or come from previous opposite-sex relationships. Gay couples also use surrogacy and artificial insemination.

With the increasing legalization of same-sex marriage, more and more gay couples are choosing to have children.
No evidence to date suggests that the sexuality of a father influences the sexuality of his adopted or biological (through surrogacy) children.
well as far as any one can tell the children of homosexuals are no more and no less likely to be homosexual than the children of straight people.

Yes. In fact, as of 2013, 20% of gay households are raising children, mostly adopted kids and kids from previous opposite-sex relationships. Surrogacy and artificial insemination are also options.

Yes, of course they can. Think about the Biology of it and the emotional/sexual part of it as being separate. Being gay does not make a boy biologically different. The biological requirements will have to be met, and after that, biology takes over. If a boy is inclined to have a child with a girl, then I'm not sure the word 'gay' is appropriate. Sexuality is not like specific objects that you can put into a box, and every object MUST go only into its own box.

No one should try forcing this to make or prove a point, and having children at too young an age will cause many problems down the road. But there is no obstacle if everyone is healthy.

There are several options for gay people to have children. The most common are:

  • adoption
  • sperm donation
  • surrogacy
  • children from a previous relationship with the opposite sex
  • raising family members, such as nieces, nephews or younger siblings.

What percent of kids raised in a gay household turn gay?

It is the same percent as children raised in straight households, about 3% to 8%.Typically it is believed that gay households produce more gay children, but this is wrong. The only reason people believe this is that gay households are more accepting of gay children and the children will grow to feel comfortable with being out as gay. In homophobic heterosexual households, gay children may learn not to accept themselves and hide that they are gay. The numbers are not the same, but the openness is where the misconception comes from.
