No, it really isn't.
I think you underestimate how people (especially teens) ideas towards this have changed. I've been out of High School for ten years now, and when talking to a couple of my cousins who are in that age range, one of them self described bi-sexual (coolest girl ever by the way, but that's another story) it's amazing how minds have changed in that age group towards gay people. They are way more accepting then even ten years ago.
When I was in High School we had a couple people who everyone pretty much knew was gay, but they didn't come out, out of fear. Now, it's really not a big deal at all. Yeah, I'm sure they get teased, I'm sure people have teased my cousin, but teens will tease people for anything... I don't think having gay parents will be any worse then being a fat kid who can't keep up in gym class.
People are becoming way more open to the idea that two consenting adults should be able to do what they please, love who they please, and have the lifestyle they please. The old way of "It's Adam and Even, not Adam and Steve yuk yuk!" is quickly going out the window.
It's a good thing.
