who, or which one, would the child call mom? Being gay yourself, would you hope the child grew up to be gay? When the child became old enough, would you, what would you, tell the child about sex and sexual relationships? I am in no way gay, just thought these questions were interesting.

Pat on your back actually it is complicated and not worth it.

1. If the couple is lesbian, then both would be called mom. If they are MEN, no-one would be called mom. There is no mom.
2. I would hope the child grew up with the sexuality that she/he was born with. I knew the pain of being forced to be something you are not. The majority of people are straight so the child will most likely be straight.
3. I will tell the child what any responsible adult will tell a child about sexual relations.

"Being gay yourself, would you hope the child grew up to be gay?"
Why am I not surprised that part of your "question" is based in ignorance and lies? There is no proof that sexuality is a choice, and no proof that it's genetic.
All reputable scientists agree: "We don't know if it's choice, genetics or both." If you claim "it's choice until they prove it's genetics", that's the same as me claiming you are a pedophile until you prove you aren't.
An intelligent person assumes scientific propositions are false until proven. Clearly, you're not a scientist or you're not intelligent. Or both.
"When the child became old enough, would you, what would you, tell the child about sex and sexual relationships?"
Such parents would probably better inform their child about pregnancy and disease than a godnazi who preaches ignorance. (George Bush's Sex-ed class: "Don't have sex.") Or are you insinuating that gays are pedophiles, hoping to entice children into having sex with them?

It doesn't matter which one is called mom. No, I would never bring a child into a gay family. I wouldn't want him abused because he has two 'lezbo' mommies. If he had any questions about sex or sexuality, I would answer them to the best of my abilities, just as my mother and father did. And I would never wish homosexuality on anyone. Some parts of my life would be much easier if I were straight, I don't want them to go through that.

Children give their own names to two daddies or two mommies. One may be called "Daddy" and the other may be called "Papa" or things like that.
It would not matter to me what sexual orientation my child would be. But because the world is homophobic, I will worry if my child is gay.
And any parent should sit down with their child at an appropriate change and give the "birds and the bees" talk.

I would rather have a gay couple raise them, it's better to have have a chance to live the life that to get rid of it before it even starts. Besides, this doesn't mean that the home isn't full of love. Just because they have a different view on life doesn't mean that they are horrible people.

being gay has nothing to do with the way you're raised my parents were both straight, so i would just explain that 2 people are intimate when they love each other and that you should wait until you're mature enough to make an informed decision. as far as wanting them to be gay, not at all i would want them to be happy with who they were. as far as it goes kids usually make up their own names for step parents etc so i'd probably just let them use my first name or a nickname that was special to us.

Both are dads. You can have names like Big Poppa and lil' Poppa. I wouldn't hope that my child grew up gay or straight. I would raise my child and whatever they turn out to be then so be it.

Two women partners would both be "mom" and two male partners would both be "dad".
My ex and I are both bisexual and we didn't really consider what our daughters sexuality would be, that is something that they discovered over time, one is straight one is bi.
Any parent has the responsibility to educate their children about their bodies and about human sexuality, to the degree appropriate to their age and the parental relationship. Really, would you want to be talking about your sex life with your mom? The sexuality of your parents has nothing to do with that.
Standards and cultural morality is going to be set by the parents lifestyle.
