Most children would just think their parents are different perhaps, but their minds aren't developed enough to fully comprehend that they are existing in a situation that is not very common.And if that situation would have been unthinkable for you then as it might be for you now; would you require that another child at that young point of awareness have to come to the realization that he has two dads or two moms?
Maybe by the age of 10-11 they would start to comprehend. But if they suffer violence, trauma, or some other event personally or see it inflicted by/upon their parents - then it would be understood obviously a lot sooner.
Of the studies done, at the very least heterosexual or homosexual couples have no differences in how children are brought up, for insistence a child that is heterosexual doesn't 'become gay' or suffer any more than one would in a household with heterosexual parents. So the main issue with same-sex couples caring for kids isn't supported by any actual evidence, and is more just speculation and hearsay.
I know a pair of identical twin girls raised by a lesbian [butch] "father" and [lipstick] mother. All the kids in that house were twacked. The two twins most of all. In true mimicry of their parents, one became a lesbian butch and the other stayed hetero femme. And in doing so subconsciously demonstrated two things:
1. A child's yearning for ACTUAL father and mother.
2. That being gay isn't genetic.
And neither 1 nor 2 is shocking to anyone even remotely familiar with psychology. The second is a matter of pure emperical deduction.
And before anyone pipes in and says "hey wait a minute, the lipstick lesbian was not a hetero femme!". I beg to argue the opposite. If a woman is attracted to all the external trappings of "male", then she is not a true lesbian but instead a closeted hetero female. There were more issues in that house than a dog has fleas.
