Did Keith and David turn Anthony gay?

[somebody]

I was talking to a co-worker who is an avid fan of the show and when I
mentioned about the Finale and someone said one of the kids turned out to be
gay (which I didn't notice at first) she replied she wasn't surprised since
the kids were brought up by gay parents.

I mentioned that there's no evidence of that occurring; that it's
geneti--but I could tell she wasn't listening... I later tried to find an
article on the internet but really couldn't. Most things I found simply
said there hasn't been any research done to conclude one way or another. I
thought it interesting though that one article said there are about 8-10
million children being raised by gay parents.

How does your friend explain that most gays are brought up by straight
parents?

I think mostly by ignoring it since it doesn't fit in with her worldview and
values... I find it really strange that someone who watches the show (I'm
referring to the co-worker), has such a naive belief. She also mentioned
once about having a poster of Dale Earnhardt or someone like that on her
wall at home. I was really surprised when a couple months ago she mentioned
she is a big fan of SFU and watches it each week.

Probably screams something like: "But Bill Clinton had a BJ in the White
House!". At least my experience suggests something along those lines.

There have been twin studies that do show evidence for a genetic
component of homosexuality. Identical twins raised apart have a
higher chance of both being gay, or both being straight, than
fraternal twins raised apart. But the correlation isn't 100%, so
there are also other factors in play (not surprisingly).

Tell your cow-orker it's more likely David was initially drawn to
Anthony at the adoption fair *because* he was gay, even if it was
completely unconscious on David's -- and certainly Anthony's --
part. David could have seen something in Anthony that reminded him
of himself at that age.

or... he was a cute, funny kid that needed someone.

Could have been both, plus 14 other factors.

Possibly, but I think the pacifier shaped like a penis was the give away.

You know a lot of 8 year olds with pacifiers, do you?

Nope, don't know any. But I do know that you are a douche bag. Now fuck

But was that cause or effect?

By that logic, David would have been straight.
