Yes in Legacy 9 you can add same-sex relationships.
You just add them like any other relationship and make sure the gender
is correctly entered. If you get a warning, you just ignore as that's
what you are wanting to do. Note in the Marriage Information screen you
can set the labels you want for each partner.
You'll note in File - File Maintenance - Check/Repair that Legacy 9 has
checkboxes on whether or not to check for same-sex relationships. If you
have entered them, you'll probably want to mostly run check/repair
without those checkboxes checked.
You can change all of Legacy to Gender-Neutral language if you want at
Options - Customise 8.14

In the wake of intense campaign in Australia for same-sex marriage,
and associated discussions, I have been meaning to ask whether Legacy
has any discussion articles that can help answer how to deal with such
unions and children (however they arise).
Apart from the obvious same gender on each side of a marriage, does
Legacy “know what to do” when a child is added? Or is it necessary to
add notes or events to clarify this – both for the user / viewer of
the database, and for various type of reporting?
These situations / questions may arise within my extended families
sometime, so should I be able to manage them?
