If parents bring up a child saying that same sex love is fine, the child is going to be more happy to try it out and experiment with themselves whether they like men or woman more, don't forget this is during puberty - a very dangerous time with all the hormones and confusion considering decisions they make now could effect them for their whole life. If however the child knows that men aren't suppose to love men or woman aren't supposed to love woman then the chances of them turning out gay is going to be a lot smaller. I have heard of many cases were teenagers have been too scared to tell their parents that they think they are gay but when they got older and have passed through puberty they realised that they were just confused and not actually gay, the fear of coming out saved them in the end once they had got settled down.
And about me caring who see's me when I kiss girls in public, why should I need to care? You can't compare a male and a female kissing to 2 men kissing, the 2 men are obviously going to stand out more and get frowned upon by members of the public. The percentage of gay people hasn't risen over the years for no reason, it wasn't so long ago when there were hardly no gay people. You can tell me that they were scared to come out but in my opinion I just think that the reason there weren't nearly as many gay people is because nobody had really ever thought about it. The percentage has only started going up since people promoted it and it is becoming more and more common in everyday life, it makes people start to think it is ok when that is far from the point. After all, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
