Thanks for explaining, that makes a lot of sense now. I think the result of this, though, would be a society where Homosexuality is acceptable... but only for other people. I also think you would see a situation which is largely male as you'd want your child to be a healthy, fertile, heterosexual male in order to carry on the family name as much as the genetic code.
This could offer a further element for this couple who are subjecting their child to such an institution. After all, they could have sacrificed daughters or disabled children in the past, and are desperate to justify this by continuing the line.
Once again, good work. This is a very promising beginning!
