\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nMarried same-sex couple Mike and Scott Andreasen moved to Stapleton for the same reason many others have. They wanted to raise a family and give their children the best opportunities they could give them. They love their Infinity home and for the most part, enjoy the Stapleton community. The one thing they have been disappointed in in regards to their immediate neighborhood is a lack of diversity. \u201cWhen we moved here, we were hoping to have a variety of different people as neighbors,\u201d says Scott. \u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, we love our gay neighbors, we were just hoping to have some heteros around here.\u201d\n\nThe area where Scott and Mike live has at least six gay couples within a two block stretch. \u201cWe wanted to live in an area with more variety, I guess,\u201d claims Mike. \u201cWe have two young children, and many of the gay couples near us don\u2019t have kids. It would be nice to add a little hetero to this hood.\u201d\nScott and Mike are not considering moving at this point. \u201cYou know, we love our place,\u201d says Scott. \u201cAnd this is where we choose to raise our children. We are just secretly hoping some more heteros will move into our immediate neighborhood. I think it would just add a little something that is missing right now. Will they be as successful as our gay neighbors? Will they keep their lawns as nice? Probably not, but you have to take the good with the bad when it comes to heteros. And hey, part of life is accepting people that are a little different.\u201d\nScott has recently broke down and joined the Stapleton moms Yahoo group so that he can arrange play dates for their children. \u201cI think it is going to be a great opportunity to have our kids interact with children from hetero relationships,\u201d says Scott. \u201cThey are going to be around those kids at school, so it is best to get them used to it now.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
