intolerable ignorance

a co-worker of mine today said that she hopes if/when she has children, ideally 5children, that they are gay like her. for someone who isn't afraid to announce to the world that she's gay and won't hold back a second to tell off anyone who's opinion differs from her own, i was shocked at such a statement from someone i had thought to be a more open-minded individual. her ignorance was astonishing and when i called her on it, she started to tell me off when i said that 'it would be no different than someone hoping for all straight children.' she could, of course, see the wrong in that situation and had to agree with my assessment. argument won easily enough. still, i didn't appreciate such ignorance. open your mind.
