Amanda, I kind of asked the same question when several months ago I posted the "Mickey has 2 Moms" research. Mice with 2 moms or 2 dads certainly challenge the anti-gay argument that it is wrong because homosexuals can't procreate. Mind you, I'm not arguing pro or con, but noting that following a pre-scientific, pre-Enlightenment view of the world can cetainly lead to discomfort. Those who cling to the certainty of what they think they know, like Eve was created from Adam's rib, have always been a drag on progress. I imagine they would oppose mice being created in this way because scientists would be doing "God's work", instead of exclaiming, WOW, ain't that something!!
