" almost no one - no matter how progressive - would willingly pick a gay child. "

Exactly. And if you could test early enough for a "gay gene" and not have people know about it, I think a lot of parents would abort, even if they aren't anti-LGBT. The grandkids thing is huge. Who would deliberately opt to have their family line end?

Hum...looks like 22% of female-female couples have children present in the home vs. 41% of male-female coupes.

Given differential ages at death it seems pretty plausible that there are a lot more f-f couples who have adult children than m-f couples.

Yeah, but the biological imperative is to pass on genes, not a family name.
