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.

There does not seem to be any statistical difference between children of gay people and children of straight people. However, there does seem to be a pattern of gay couples being more likely to adopt hard-to-place children.

No. Life is not pointless for gay people. We can get married and/or adopt children. We can have children naturally as well. We can choose to remain single. We can work to make the world a better place. We can do anything straight people can do.

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.
I'm willing to bet that's not something homophobic people ever think about.
Yes they can, but not with their spouses or partners.
