Actually, I thought the focus on couples (married, cohabitating, presumably monogamous, etc.) was rather telling. There's lots of acceptance there for people who assimilate to heteronormative standards. I wonder, however, what the reaction of the hospital would've been if you'd asked them "Where's my other partner going to sleep?"
Incidentally, that's actually one of the things I liked most about the film Cachorro. It's not some warm-and-fuzzy domestic fantasy about someone who's "just like anyone else" except gay. Pedro isn't willing to give up partying and anonymous sex in order to become a parent, and his brother-in-law's mother has a point (which the movie gives due weight) that this isn't a stable environment to raise a child in.
But then, I'm one of those people who believes we won't really have acceptance until it's available to those on the fringes as well as to good bourgeois couples like yours and mine.
