That would go a long way to correct for differences resulting from maternal leave, but there would still be issues such as single people, and especially single men, being favored (since it is rare for them to have a child who they must then take mandatory leave to care for).

It would definitely favour gay men, though they could still adopt and take paternity leave.

I remember reading that gay men suffer a penalty to straight men while gay women have a boost compared to straight women. I wonder if that is related child care expectations when they do adopt children.

No doubt you're correct. It's not a simple issue to fully resolve, but there is some seemingly low-hanging fruit to grab for.
