yes...well depending on the church( I'll find the Canon law that talks about baptism in the Catholic church for you).
Canon 873 says A sponsor may be of either sex, or there may be two sponsors of opposite sexes, but not two sponsors of the same sex.
So the parents cannot have another gay couple be the godparents.
Also, You will be asked your marital status when you schedule the Baptism of your child, or when you are seeking Baptism for yourself. We will not deny Baptism of a child if the parents are unmarried or not married in the Catholic Church. However, there may be reason to postpone Baptism if parents are not practicing the Faith, or have no intention of living a Catholic life.

I imagine if the parents of the child attend a church that church would be willing to baptize the child. Mostly because the parents aren't going to attend services in a church in which they feel unwelcome which suggests that they in fact are not unwelcome, and such things as baptism are up to the discretion of the specific church.

Given that child baptism only gets a baby wet, who cares?
If there past the age of reason, then it is the child's choice and the "parents" don't matter in it.

Of coarse!
Anyone can be even you!
Two guys or two gals have difficulty's getting pregs, so the child would have to be from either a previous relationship or adoption!

anyone can be baptized!
Acts 2:38
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
notice it says EVERYONE OF YOU!

It depends on the church in which the child will be baptized. They have different rules in different denominations.

Yes, it's a personal choice. You didn't choose to have single sex parents so you shouldn't be held accountable for something you had no choice in.

A child is innocent, therefore, that child can receive Christ and be baptized.

As long as the child has made their own decision to follow Christ and wants to show the world that, its totally between them and God and has nothing to do with their parents.
