What I would have initially thought is that this person doesn’t really know me that well. After some time, I would have found it a harmless cliche used to denote some psychologically defining moment in someone’s life. Some gay people want children, a lot don’t. We come with a different set of operating instructions for life. We have a choice, whereas I don’t think straight people get much of a choice. And more importantly, they don’t think much of the sacrifice to their self-development that raising children infers. I wouldn’t read too much into your use of the cliche, but you might be commenting on your own thoughts on children and what they mean to you.
