Children are the counters used in a dangerous game of "prove me right" played by adults. Those who wish to establish beyond argument that sexual orientation is innate and unchangeable have a strong interest in "finding" and "defending" living examples which prove them right.

The same is/was probably true the other way round, too, but the pressure these days is all coming from the "queer as genetics" crowd.
