[quote=NotSoAnonymous]Q:Do you ever sense that people are trying to befriend you because they want the opportunity to expose their children to a family with children completely unlike their own? Do you sense people avoid your family for the same reason? Do you consider alternative family an offensive description?

A: I can't imagine someone befriending me due to my sexual orientation. I would also argue that my family isn't one "completely unlike their own." Aside from 2 moms, we are a pretty typical Americal family. I think there would be more differences between a family from another culture (say someone raised in Japan or something) than from just the fact that there are two women heading out family.

I don't *think* people avoid us due to our differences, but I could be naieve. We don't have any close straight friends with kids. Without kids yes, acquaintances, yes, but not friends. Could be due to the oft cited difficulty making fiends in this area issue.

I don't love the term, we are just a family. I'm not sure why someone would need to call us out. [/quote]
