The church that is officiating the baptism would be ok with same sex couples as members of that church. That is a celebration of the sin.

Go forth and sin no more. These so called churches deny it is a sin to begin with. Thus apostasy.

True but to ask God to protect the child with common grace above and beyond those parents that don't have their kids baptized is a mockery of the whole thing. I really doubt if the homosexual couples that might try to claim Christianity and have their kids baptized really give a rats ass about the Law, and about asking God to protect their kids, my gut feeling is that they are going through the motion of the Christian Cultural trying to act like Christians but not yielding their heart to God, because if they really yield their hearts to God they won't be Homosexuals. A generation that does keep God's law will be bless and those that don't keep God's law will be cursed. Being Homosexual is not in the spirit of keeping God's law, so right off you can say figuratively speaking that you are going to be cursed through life and your generation that Ok's the act will also be cursed too. To ask God to bless your kid through Baptism, is like asking a judge and jury to reverse their decision of guilty to not guilty and to declare the law invalid. My gut feeling is that homosexuals that try to claim Christianity are messed up people that can't rationalize things to well they make most of their decision by emotion. And the people that go to the Churches that ok homosexual I would say are also in the same boat. I don't think going to a Church that Ok's homosexuality is a good thing to do in regards to God's law, and his blessing and curses of in associated with it. I'd be always be worried about the roof caving in on me as a form of a curse.

Baptism is for the child yes but infant baptism demands that the Parents and God Parents profess their faith. The Parents are the first teachers of the child in the faith, therefore one of the requirements for baptism into the Catholic Church is that there is the hope that the child will be raised in the Catholic faith. One of the sponsors also has to have received the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation).
