I don't think it's unfair to suggest parents could try to influence the sexuality of the child. As martyh points out there are hetrosexual parents who wouldn't want their kid to be gay and would try to influence that.

However it may well be the case that homosexual parents are considerably less likely to do this as there isn't really a stigma about being hetrosexual amongst homosexuals. You're unlikely to get a scenario where a teenager goes to their two gay parents and goes 'dad, dad, I am straight'.
