It doesn't even have to be gay sex though, it could be much less than that and the kid get scolded for it or be constantly have it reinforced that being gay is bad or told that if you're gay we won't approve of it can fuck a kid up and can actually unintentionally lead to them potentially questioning their sexuality more than they otherwise would have thinking "my parents made such a big deal about boys liking other boys, that it's bad, that I'll go to hell for it, that they won't approve of it. oh no what if I end up liking boys but don't realize it yet?" And then basically overthinking it so much that they start questioning if they do or not when they wouldn't have otherwise just because a big deal was made about it and they're scared of it like it's a disease or something... Then even worse would be if they are and then struggling with suppressing that, self loathing, and a myriad of other potential issues. You have no idea how these people would handle raising the kid though. I've known parents who have forcibly not allowed their kid to hang out with their best friend because they felt like they were getting too close, like the other might be gay, or for having caught them holding hands or giving a hug or something. Just saying they'd still love him doesn't say much. For all we know that could mean "we still love you but.... You're not hanging out with _____ anymore" or "we still love you, but.... We're going to send you to this summer camp that'll make sure you don't have any gay in you!" Granted these are unfortunately things many parents do and kids have to deal with, but with people having their own kids you don't exactly know that or have any control over that situation. When you're an agent at an adoption agency and the future of a child and who they're going to be raised by is on your back, it's a huge red flag that's hard to look past when a couple is straightforward that they wouldn't be accepting of the kid if they turned out [some irrelevant uncontrollable personal trait]" --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus ...
