parents are addressed as "mom" and "dad" in straight families. But how will a child address gay parents? If i was adopted by a gay family, I think I'd feel awkward or unsure what to call them at first. My friend uses "mom" to address his biological mother, and "aunt" to address the lady that his mom is partnered with. In a male couple, would one be called "dad" and the other "uncle"? Or something else? I'd be curious to find this out.
And in cases like my friend's, where one of the biological parents chooses to "become" gay and marry another of the same sex, should that new parent try and establish a parental relationship or a more casual relationship with the child?
