My girlfriend and I recently found out she is pregnant. I told her I’d support her and the baby, and secretly started saving for an engagement ring. She said she thought I would have wanted her to get an abortion. I didn’t—at least at first.
She was excited and started planning the nursery. It took me two months to save up, but I finally got on one knee and popped the question. She cried and said yes. I’m still scared about being a dad, but I’ve got a good job and so does she. We’ll make a great family, just the three of us.
Last week, though, she went in for a checkup. We decided to get full fetal blood work done. Everyone’s doing it; the doctor said there is little risk to the fetus, and better safe than sorry, right? I’m sure everything will be fine, and we’ll learn the sex. I really hope it’s a boy.
Oh, and we decided to make everything official with a trip to the courthouse. We are married now!
Well, got the blood work results, and there’s good news and bad news. Good news: It’s a boy and he’s healthy. Bad news: He’s gay. I didn’t even know there was a blood test for that now, but I guess it’s new? They found the genes that cause homosexuality and they test for them now.
I’m a really tolerant person, but this has made me think hard. I don’t know how I feel about trying to raise a gay son. Will I be able to relate to him? Won’t his life be super hard? I know things are getting better for gay people, but it seems to me that being gay is really hard in the South, where we live.

Somehow, I do not find this credible
Satire?
Good troll. Hypocritical leftists should be mocked endlessly. I think I can hear their heads exploding across the fruited plains as I type.
The left will become pro life the minute this becomes possible.
Fakenews
Yikes...it’s a put down of abortion !
Excellant writer,!
There is no “gay” gene.
Oh for God’s sake. This is brilliant satire !
It’s an opinion article at The Federalist. Try “satire” instead of Fake News.
I can’t believe the level of lack of intelligence o f these posters!
No wonder we can’t win the pro life debate. We’ve got Neanderthals in the conservative movement
What’s that you say? No “gay” gene?;-)
Article is clearly labeled Satire/
Ditto.
You’re more tactful ha..I give up
It wouldn’t surprise me if this were a genetic defect. Given all things we’re hearing about advances in gene therapy, we may, in future, be able fix this defect. The question is whether loony liberals will ban such fixes the way they’ve banned conversion therapy. Hare-lipped and blind and proud of it seems to be the way we’re going as a society.
You know your boy has the gay gene if he wants to arrange the flowers in his and his mom’s hospital room.
“There is no “gay” gene.”
It’s discovery would be the Holy Grail for the pink mafia.
LOL. Spot on. Cuts thru the liberal hypocrisy using their own knife.
Wait did he just assume the baby’s gender?
