US citizens from California who bring their same sex partner along to wrangle
the baby do not have to cross a border to enter Texas or Alabama or Utah or..
EU border guards don't care, and speak english well, and we believe that
their legal system isn't corrupt. (I can not speak to truth of it, just belief)

What has changed is:
a) US citizens now have LGBT rights in some places, and have new family
   (legal) arrangements as a result.

b) We are trying to go to more non-US places for reasons of US visa hassles
   and a number of other reasons.

c) Having encouraged more diversity, we have to deal with the actual needs of
   that diversity.

I think it is more than just this.
As I wrote in another email, I think it's also a concern about the treatment
the legal system will give us.
