There have been numerous studies regarding the effects of gay parents on children. There is absolutely no evidence that those children are adversely affected. They are no less well-adjusted. If it were proven otherwise, gay people would not be allowed to adopt.

No, do not hide your lifestyle from the children. Young children have less of a "problem" with different kinds of relationships because they do not have as many prejudices and biases as we do. Their minds are open.

And they absolutely will NOT be more influenced to be gay. There is also zero proof that gay couples are more likely to have gay kids. People are born gay, they are not gay because of any other influences.
