I don't want her to be interested in guys cause there are some really shitty guys out there as you all know. So how weird is it that I would rather her be lesbian? I don't think its weird at all but when I tell other people that they look at me like I'm crazy. What do you guys think?

I think it's very strange that you have a preferred sexuality for your daughter before you've even conceived one. There are equally shitty women out there. You could be the best judge of character there is, and you can still be taken in by a completely horrible person, regardless of their sex.
You should focus more on wanting your daughter to be happy and comfortable and secure with who she is as a person, and less on her sexual orientation. That way when she gets taken in by a douchedick (because it happens to us all at some point), she can bounce back. She'll be secure enough in herself to know that some people are dicks, but it doesn't make them all bad. And also that their dick-like tendencies are no reflection of her. And she'll be a lot less bitter.

I agree with SLW. And I can't help but think this has more to do with your own sexual fantasies than her (not even born yet) well-being or happiness.
You get what you get. Worrying about who and what they will be ahead of time is pointless because it's beyond your control. My son is a different mix of his mother and I and himself than I would probably have wanted or expected but part of the joy of being a parent is learning about your children.
What you contribute (besides your genes), as others have said, is teaching them what you can about the ways of the world. They may not seem to listen (I have a teenager) but generally at some point down the road, they will say or do something that makes you realize that it's sunk in. Prepare them for the bad but make sure they know there is also plenty of good. Making them cautious doesn't have to mean making them paranoid.
Um hate to tell you this buttercup but there are some really shitty women out there too. And let me tell you there is little sympathy or support services available for same sex victims of and domestic violence. If you think she might never be treated like shit just because she is with a woman you are either very naive or totally sexist.
Teach your daughter to respect herself and to demand respect from those she allows into her life and heart. Being gay won't protect her from being a doormat but a strong sense of who she is and what she deserves will.

I think what you mean is you'd want her to be happy.
Wanting her to be a lesbian is pretty irrelevant.

Don't you all just love how the male 18 yr old mind works. Next stage must surely be abort male babies because they turn out shitty. Priceless!!
A TRUE story...
MANY years ago I worked for an LGBT newspaper.
One day, a female colleague of mine showed up at work with a black eye...
I asked what had happened. She explained that her and her girlfriend had enjoyed an evening out and she had walked her girl to the bus. As the bus arrived she kissed her lover goodnight. Just a goodnight kiss.
AS she walked home she was set upon by a group of GIRLS who had witnessed this. They beat the shit out of her.
THAT'S how easy it STILL is to be LBGT in a LOT of the world we live in.
It's GETTING better, (I hope...)
The HOMOPHOBIC premise of the initiator of this thread isn't fucking helping with that...

Love and support your child (son or daughter) for who they are, not what you want them to be
So, in much the same way that lots of women think gay men are all really nice, but in fact they're just not trying to get into our pants and they treat the guys they're trying to fuck more or less like straight men act toward women (yes, the whole spectrum of behavior), it goes like that for lesbians too. Hope that doesn't offend anybody, but it's absolutely been my experience.
I think one's daughter should make her own life choices
Come on now, the guy is only 18 don't be too harsh on him. He will learn.
Who wants to deal with some guy and his filthy penis around their daughter?
I think that your daughters sexual orientation should be up to her
If I ever have kids I guess from a comfort level would like to have a girl and lesbian but as long as he/she is happy I'm good
