the bullied child leaves school because they cannot take the bullying any more, on the streets, mix with the wrong groups, get into alcohol and drugs early and become a lout, etc

I was bullied a lot - I didn't leave school, I stayed on, got A-levels, degree, good job and drugs make me sick. I'll admit to the alcohol, though. I had excellent parental support, of course.
Better two parents comfortable with their sexuality than two at each others throats or one parent harassed and unable to give enough time to their children. The actual sexuality is immaterial to the quality of the parenting.
Spain deserve great credit for this, but of course they have a progressive socialist government that I'm beginning to like the look of. Benedict XVI doesn't like it much, but he's the head of the Church that gave solid support to Franco and I think we'd all agree that gay parents are a bit less threatening than totalitarian fascist dictators.
