I'm kind of torn on the issue. On one side, I don't know if society is ready for it. As others have mentioned, they will go through a tougher time growing up because of the ridicule. You are also dealing with two men or two women and the child may not get the full upbringing that a man and woman can provide.

On the other hand, it is time for society to accept these situations. Perhaps this would be one step closer. The reason it is taboo and ridiculed is because we let it be. The thought of a woman running a major company 40 years ago was laughable, but now it isn't even a big deal. Heck, African Americans hold some of the highest offices of power in the country when they couldn't drink from the same fountain 60 years ago. So maybe this is a step to open society up more.
