In turn, Lucie and Vivian, a lesbian couple with three children, have experienced prejudice, not so much from their families, but at school. “I see the way some parents look at me, as if though I were ill or something,” says Lucie. “One time, one student asked one of my girls ‘where is your father?’ She said ‘I don’t have a father, but I have two mothers.’ I was devastated to think that, in Kindergarten, my daughter had to endure those hard questions. I have to say I was pretty impressed at how she, in spite of being so young, handled the question. Even though I could not help tearing up over the whole deal. Children should not be scrutinized for having two gay parents.”
