it's a load of shit
my mate hasn't seen his son for 13 years. the boy's maternal grandfather threatened to kill my mate if he went near his own son. his ex also threatened him with violence repeatedly. my mate is a top bloke, has a nice house and a lovely partner. despite this, despite the mother having a criminal record as long as your arm(mostly for drugs and violence), despite the maternal grandfather being a well-known gangster-type and also having a very long arrest record, my mate still has no access whatsoever.
the reason for this? he's gay and, therefore, has been deemed an unsuitable father.

I speak with experience of this - my ex was very difficult for a while.
But being gay does deny you the chance of fatherhood. Being as two people of the same gender cannot procreate. Sorry.

My being white precludes me from dancing well.

Them's the breaks.

his ex is female, you know
she knew he was gay, but said she still wanted a kid with him. he wanted to be a dad, so they decided to give it a go. as soon as the baby was born, she freaked and threw him out.
