There are quite a few studies, but all show that children of same-sex parents turn out well-adjusted and happy. In fact, some studies show that children of lesbian couples fair better than the children of opposite sex couples.

That's like asking what adopted children think about their parents being straight. They don't care. They want a loving, secure home and they got it. Research have also shown that children of gay parents are not bullied more than other kids but are more tolerant towards others and more inclined to fight bullying and harassment.

We generally send them to school in the morning, and when they get home, we do homework, followed by playing in the park. Dinner is usually at 5, and then we bathe the kids, put them in their pajamas, and they are allowed to have 1 hour of TV before bed.

We travel on vacation in the summers, and on winter breaks, and we do frequent play dates with our kids' friends.
