Look up some old copies of the magazine "And Baby" which is a magazine
for Gays, Lesbian, Bisexual, and  Transgendered parents.  It's a great
magazine, and alternative in so many ways.  I know there was an article
on breastfeeding a few issues ago.  You also might want to contact the
editors...  They do have a website, I think it's Andbabymag.com or
somethign like that.

Although to be honest, I don't see this as being an issue.  One woman of
a couple gets pregnant (by whatever means) and she gives birth,
breastfeeding is the same for any other woman, as how does one's
sexuality have anything to do with breastfeeding (except in those rare
cases where a woman was sexually abused, and that issue is found within
both heterosexual and homosexual women).  If one woman gets pregnant and
nurses and the other woman in the couple wishes to also lactate and
breastfeed, then this should be treated as adoption breastfeeding.  If
the baby is adopted and one or both women wish to breastfeed, again,
adoptive breastfeeding.
