My perspective is that I should try to raise my children in an environment that tries to minimize the risk, but if they nonetheless turn out gay or transgender, I'd don't think I'd abandon them. I'd try to help them to have a meaningful fulfilling life life, but I'd try not to blame myself or all of society if they struggled. It's sad to see children struggle and suffer, but to me it's not worth tearing down all of society. I would try to make my home feel loving and welcoming, but there's a chance that they wouldn't feel comfortable there and would need to go out into the world and find their own place in it. I wouldn't kick them out and I wouldn't kill them or anything, and perhaps that means I'd just be perpetuating the problem in the long term, but I'm a softy; I ain't gonna off my own child like some filthy Muslim. Now if they're doing worse damage to my home than simply being abnormal, then at some point I would kick them out because ya can't put up with that kinda shit.

Edit: I've seen the effects of world on the home. I don't want to invite that kind of shit into my home, but how much of a spiritual barrier do I need? I'm not sure. How welcome would fucked up extended family be in my home? I don't know. I can soo the two extremes clearly, but I don't know how much vigilance is needed to prevent one side from flipping to the other.
