Has Two Mommies/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character in a story has same-sex parents.

• Straight (har): Heather has two mommies.
• Exaggerated:
  • Heather, Alice, Bob, Carol, and Dave each have two mommies. And Vivian, Walter, Xavier, Yvonne, and Zack each have two mommies, too.
  • Heather has 23 mommies.
• Justified:
  • The advanced technology in Heather's world allows same-sex couples to procreate.
  • Or Heather is a chimera.
  • Or Heather is adopted.
  • Heather's Mom was cloned.
  • Heather's dad is a polygamist.
• Inverted:
  • A single parent woman adopted two boys, and as they grow she found out that both of them are gays.
  • Heather has no mommies.
  • Somehow, Heathers parents occupy three or more different sexes.
• Subverted: It seems that Heather has two mommies, but one of them is actually Heather's dad. He is a Wholesome Crossdresser.
• Double Subverted: ...but Heather's biological father is a Transsexualism, and Heather's biological mother is a lesbian who married that "man" knowing (and accepting) her for who she is.
• Parodied:
  • Absolutely every named character in the story has either two mommies or two daddies, even the Innocent Bystanders.
  • Alternatively: Heather has two mommies, four grandmas, a big sister, and will have a sister-in-law soon. Currently Heather is dating Irma (was Irvine) who has two daddies.
  • Heather has two mommies and two daddies. It's... complicated.
• Deconstructed:
  • People often look at Heather funny because she has two mommies.
  • Heather grows up very confused about her sexual identity due to her unusual upbringing.
  • Heather faces a horrific amount of bullying at school because she has two mommies.
• Reconstructed: But Heather grows strong and can accept who her mommies are.
• Zig Zagged: The other characters never get to see who Heather's rumored "two mommies" are. And Heather never clarifies whether she really has two mommies.
• Averted: Despite the acceptance from society and the advance of genetic engineering allowing same-sex couples to procreate, no one in the story has two mommies. In fact, most likely everyone has one mommy and one daddy.
• Enforced: "Let's make our show appealing to the LGBTQ folks!"
• Lampshaded: "I saw both of Heather's moms visit the school the other day!"
• Invoked: "Linda?" "Yes, Rachel?" "Let's have kids."
• Defied: "Linda?" "Yes, Rachel?" "Let's never have kids, our lives are great the way they are."
• Discussed: "Vivio has two mommies? Squee!"
• Conversed: "You can tell this show's progressive -- that Heather girl has two mommies."
• Played For Laughs: One of Heather's moms is a female Bumbling Dad. The other, of course, is more down-to-Earth.
• Played For Drama: Heather's moms' struggle to gain acceptance in society greatly affects Heather's life.
