Outside the family, some gay children of gay parents say, they may be perceived as curiosities or aberrations. Sometimes they are swept into the political and scientific debate over whether homosexuals are born or made, and whether parents influence their children's sexual orientation. Some on the political and religious right claim that homosexuality is a choice, that it can be taught or reversed and that it does not warrant legal protections. And some conservatives maintain that gay people should not rear children because the children will likely follow their parents' ''life style.'' In Florida and New Hampshire, it is illegal for gay people to adopt children.īut gay rights advocates have argued for years that homosexuality is genetic and unalterable, like race or ethnicity, and that gay people deserve legal protection against the discrimination that many face. They point out that numerous studies, in journals like Child Development and The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, have found that children reared by gay parents are no more likely to be gay than those brought up by heterosexual parents, and no more likely to have psychological problems. Cherubin, who founded a group called Second Generation in 1991, said that when he approached other gay organizations for support, most were receptive but some ''were iffy.'' Yet those who draw attention to the fact that both they and at least one of their parents are homosexual can make some other gay people uneasy. ''Some wanted nothing to do with gay children, even if we're 30.'' ''They thought we were propagating stereotypes - gay people recruiting kids,'' he said. Cherubin remembered handing out cards at one gay pride parade referring to ''gay and lesbian children of gay and lesbian parents.'' Some parents would look at the cards, ''become horrified and hand it back,'' he said. ''They said: 'Our kids are just like everyone else.
