Right now there's definitely a stigma against gay or lesbian parents; especially when it comes to whether or not they could "raise" a child since there's not a "father" or "mother" figure- where in reality they are just trying to enforce gender roles and heteronormativity. But for the parents themselves, they'll have to explain why they aren't like other parents and why some people are so negative to them, other than that there might not be much difference.

It's not at all, except if it was a gay couple instead of breast milk the child would get baby powder

There no difference between them. We all interiorise the pattern of relationships that we live. So if parents give love and be consistent to their children it doesn't matter what kind of couple that you are. If your children experience real love and respect , nobody won't see any difference.

Basically parenting is parenting and the same issues will arise except for specific question that has to do with sexuality and society.
