Conversely, the likelihood of a parent sending damaging and confusing messages to their straight child by assuming they’re gay and openly speaking about them that way is very high. And It’s high precisely because the likelihood of any given child actually being straight is also very high.

You can also make the argument that sending damaging and confusing messages to a gay child by assuming they're straight and openly speaking about them isn't the way.

Is it okay to damage a gay child by telling them they are straight because the chance is lower that they will end up gay?
