Most parents ask their children to comply with the traditional and natural rules. However, being a gay or lesbian is not a shameful or wrong thing for children. The different perspectives and from two sides have never been able to reach a consensus. Thus, it results in the deeper gaps between parents and children.
This paper begins with the news in the 1950s. From the early 1950s to the late 1980s, gays and lesbians were shaped and stigmatized into sexual deviants in the newspapers. Additionally, the concept of filial piety emphasizes that children should devote themselves to their parents. They should acquire the highest social status in their own fields to show the glory of families, and the well education from parents. With the changes of times, the new concept of filial piety changes the previous one. That is, the relationship between parents and children isn't authoritative. This old version is transformed into the situation that families members share happiness and sadness together. Moreover, the concept that children should have descendants gradually ignored by young people because of economic problems.
In the novels and movies, whether in a balanced or unbalanced parent-child relationship, this paper understands the differences on the issues about gays and lesbians of two generations through finding different claims and thoughts. Additionally, this study concentrates on technology of reproduction, and understands the difficulties that gays and lesbians face. The artificial fertility technique and the third generation would release parents from the facts that children are gays or lesbians.

It also reduces the friction between parents and children so that parents are more willing to communicate with their children. This paper also talks about surrogate mothers. Through this approach, gays or lesbians are able to have their babys, and the existence of babys they can improve the relationships between parents and children.
