They can call both parents one or the other.Also note, quite often the alternative is simply having *one* legal parent.
Also-also note, gay couples are likely to adopt, and we have a notable shortage of adoptee parents, meaning it's a replacement for having *no* parents.
A child should have two legal parents: Father and Mother.

I don't think you are, it's existed for decades in some countries without problem and helps alleviate some issues.
And what issues does it helps alleviate?
B/W I know that gay-ism is an old phenomenon. This isn't a valid justification for it just like slavery.

And that hasn't changed one bit. Note that 100% of people in a gay marriage were recognized as competent to marry before this, just not allowed to do so with each other. Entirely different than your animal obsession.
Marriage between males and females is most productive for a human society. Enabling other forms of marriages may result in reduction of heterosexuality and their would be additional implications that are not generally accounted for.

It's called going forward. People have been wrong about many things. They were wrong about slavery, about racial inequality, about duels being a good way to solve problems, and so on."It's old so therefore it must be right," Is not a good argument.
I consider legalization of gay-ism as going backwards, not forward. Also, implications should be taken into consideration.
Here is a worrisome implication:
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM)a represent approximately 2% of the United States population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV. In 2010, young gay and bisexual men (aged 13-24 years) accounted for 72% of new HIV infections among all persons aged 13 to 24, and 30% of new infections among all gay and bisexual men. At the end of 2011, an estimated 500,022 (57%) persons living with an HIV diagnosis in the United States were gay and bisexual men, or gay and bisexual men who also inject drugs.

Imagine if gay-ism spreads throughout the country, what would be the medical implications then?
