I'm not sure I understand, why does someone having just one gay child preclude the effect?

Evolution isn't certain of anything. It's not like a conscious entity that decides what happens, it's just the combined effect of natural selection and random genetic anomalies on a population. It's certainly possible you'd only have gay children, but the more children you have, the greater the chance that that "streak", as it were, disappears.
