No it doesn't, most people believe have a choice. However, to believe one's choice, character, and most basic self is not molded by one's family is an idea that goes against the entire concept of a family.
Whether it matters or not, to say it has no effect at all (and the effect wouldn't necessarily be that the child becomes homosexual) is a pretty wild idea.
Perhaps, but that's an assertion simillar to the one people made when they decide that divorce would have no psychological effect on the child, only to later be proven wrong when the children grew up and said different.
Agreed, their choice doesn't void their right to equal respect, love, and protection under the law. But saying the union of a man and a man or a woman and a woman is the same thing as that of a man and a woman is, as far as I'm aware, a radically new, and in my belief incorrect, idea.
People are bothered because it's a big step along the path we've been going down for a long, long time, of the government affirming that love=sex.
