Even in our conservative state, we're fortunate enough to live in a liberal pocket. We stated it very matter-of-fact like that Sofie has two mommies...equal mommies. That may be more of an issue than the two mommy thing. If one parent is more visible than the other, the invisible parent often gets left out. The schools here are full of "different" types of family structures. The most important thing, I think, is to be visible. Be a participating parent/family. Nothing supports our families more than positive visibility! In our small, public elementary school 2 of the 4 officers for our PTA are lesbian!!
