Your logic is impeccable Illumina.
However, in modern society there is still a difference in perception between being black (which is utterly beyond the choice of the person) and being homosexual (which many would still believe is either a lifestyle choice or simply sinful behaviour).
The perception is most likely inaccurate of course, but I think it would be hard to argue that having black parents would get you teased more than having two men as parents.
Not to mention that the social impact that a father figure and mother figure have on children is pretty large - those with both inevitably do better in life on average.
And racism and prejudice may be for adults and not kids, but I'm really really glad I didn't have two men as my parents. It's not an ideal world and expecting children to be unaffected by this is not realistic IMO.
