NP and we don't either.  Obviously I'm aware they exist there just aren't any among the group of parents of the kids we hang out with nor are there any on the streets near our house.  Makes sense statistically because there's what like 6% or so of adults that are LGBT?  [/quote]

Some of this might be the age of your child as well. Once your kid is in a class with 25 other children, there's a good chance one of them will have same sex parents eventually.

But it's also about proximity/geography. My neighborhood is full of families with two moms. Probably 8 or so families within a two block radius. That tight concentration leaves fewer queer families for other neighborhoods, which is their loss! [/quote]

PP here and both of my kids are in elementary school.  I mean sure there could be esp since my kids only hang out with some of the class.  Both of mine are girls so that 50% of boys they're not hanging out with and beyond that it's like maybe 6 or 7 girls tops each year, each class they're hanging out with.

I suspect the concentration of LGBT population is higher in cities than suburbs (i.e. Fairfax county in my case) so if you take that 8% from the PP for 30-49 year olds (which is already a small number) and assume it is a little lower in the suburbs it's perfectly reasonable that we haven't encounterd any same sex couples.[/quote]
