Mama or Papa?

You ever wondered what's it like for a kid to grow up fatherless or motherless?

A fatherless child will have to go through life in a very different way and the same for the motherless. But, what happens when a female takes the role of father and the male mother.

Elton John and partner now have twins.

Here's me thinking. When the twins grow up, they would surely be calling both their parents Papa or Dada or are they going to choose which one to call Mama and Papa. Now that aside, when the boys attain school age, won't they be subjected to ridicules?

Scenario 2.
Penny Wong, the Malaysian born Finance Minister of Australia is expecting a baby, but the only think is, she's ain't pregnant. Her partner is - Sophie.
So the same Elton John's scenario sets in but it is now reversed. Who will the child call Papa? Definitely not the one who wears the dress as both parents would don dresses. 

Do these parents ever think of the new seed they bring up, the embarrassment, the hit backs, the irony of a kid living with parents both of the same gender?

What do they write on the doted line where it says mother's name or father's name? 

We have now come to an age where gay marriages are legalised and accepted by many. Mankind today have grown hormones to like their own gender more then the opposite.

Do these people give a thought for the kids they bring up? Do they know or are they prepared to endure the consequences when these kids of same gender parents grow up to be adults.

Lets fast forward and imagine now is the year 3011, a thousand years in the future. 

I gather, people in the future may not believe people of their past actually got married to the opposite sex and had babies. By the time mankind crosses over to the next millennium - society would be so meshed up, confused, men would be used as studs parked away in some oxygenated glass house for sperm production whilst the women may shop for healthy sperms for reproduction. Though funny, I really can't think other wise.

The theory of Darwin's evolution postulated on natural selection and humans from the very descendant of apes may eventually be put to rest as a fabled tale. By 3011 Darwin may only be a fictional character told by 20th century Neanderthals.

Long live same sex marriages. 

Thank God, I wont be there to break the champagne.
