That sounds like a you problem. By the way, able to and supposed to are different.
In nature you're supposed to, being able to is related to health problems. But yeah, I will raise my son/daughter in heterosexuality, if he/she wants to be gay/bi/etc that's fine. But I don't expect little boys to like other boys for example
There is no "suppose to" in nature. Nature is literally random
Changes are random, the outcome throughout time is not
The "supposed to be...", is a really big problem.
First, it's factually wrong. Homosexuality occurs all through nature and it's not a mistake or random abberation. Presumably there's some advantage to having a percentage of any population not reproducing. Perhaps so that they aren't burdened with children and are free to fill other roles in their community, herd, flock or whatever. This increases the group survival/reproduction rate, even though they aren't reproducing themselves.
Secondly, "supposed to..." implies that there's something wrong with any non-heterosexual individual. It sounds like, at best, you'll accept their homosexuality as natural but, at the same time, you understand that they're actually defective. That attitude isn't going to lead to good things, and not something I would like to see widespread in society.
And finally, the fact that you would even say this points out the need for more education on this in schools, not less.
You know humans aren’t the only species that practices homosexuality, right?

We're still waiting for the religious nutjobs to realize that their faith in their specific magic sky fairy doesn't automatically grant them ownership of everyone that doesn't.

Homosexual Behavior In Animals, - this article has 121 citations.
...H...How are you going to raise someone in heterosexuality??
By shoving homophobia down their throat and shaming them anytime they behave in a way that doesn't conform to their close-minded views on sexuality and gender.
Then complaining 20 years later that their kids were indoctrinated by the education system and blaming liberals for the fact that their children went no contact.
By being straight around them and not sucking dick in front of them, duh.
But heterosexual sex in front of them is ok???
Lord, no! We can't let little Jimmy see a pair of titties! Think of the children!
Just by not doing anything actually, most boys will tell their parents that they fell in love with x girl and gave them flowers
So...exactly the same as someone raising their kid in homosexuality then?
No, nature is bi / gay as fuck. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals
Gay penguins are about 1 in 5
Male dogs also love humping other dogs regardless of gender too.
So why are there homosexual animals?
Yes, very.
A me problem? Why ?
Genders are a social construct, yes, but some people are literally born gay. It wasn’t like they chose to be gay - they just are. To say that sexuality is a “result of society” is absolutely ridiculous. To put this in perspective: can you, a straight guy, can just choose to be gay? Can you suddenly decide that you want to suck a dick? That’s how you know it’s not a social construct - you’re literally hard-wired to be whatever the fuck sexuality you are.
I sort of get what you’re saying with heterosexuality being the “default” because it’s quite literally how the human race needs to reproduce, but please don’t go saying that people choose to be gay, because they do not.
I always feel like "Choose to not be gay" people
They don't realize not every man wants to suck dick.
They don't realize step 1 already makes them gay no matter their choices.
This feels like the "One drop of blood" test but for sexuality. Things exist on a spectrum. Gay isn't just "not straight". People aren't gay just because they wondered about same-sex relationships.
Lots of individual animals never reproduce. Why are humans special?
