LEXINGTON, Kentucky (AP) -- Two gay men are expecting to become parents of quadruplets after a surrogate mother gives birth in August.

Thomas Dysarz and Michael Meehan enlisted the help of a 23-year-old woman who agreed to help the domestic partners have a baby through in vitro fertilization.

Three words:

Remember Jesse Dirkhising.

'Nuff said.

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Incidents of abuse, divorce and other forms of dysfunction in a family rise dramatically with multiple births. Can you imagine fitting a selfindulgent life style into the highly stressed situation where kids are up around the clock for six months?

As a new father, these kind of stories make me shiver with anger. Wanna be homosexual? Fine, go ahead. But, please note that there is one reason why there are males and females: procreation. Period. You've chosen (or whatever) to be gay; therefore, you should not by natural means have children. Their house "seemed empty?" Yeah, well, there's a damn good reason that's the case, you pair of freaks! I feel sorry for the kids. But I'm sure that "Dad" and "Thomas" will do a firstrate job of explaining their (and the woman's) perversion of nature to satisfy their "needs."

Incest, right around the corner.

Judas H. Priest! What do they think kids are? Social experiments? Social fashion statements?

Last fall, a 23-year-old woman came into the salon with three children. Dysarz thought the children were adorable. He kidded the woman about taking them home.

A normal woman would have grabbed the kids and run like heck! :)

Two boy toys for each perv.

[gjpino]

Goodness. Do these buggerers think parenting is some kind of easy game?

I feel sorry for these kids, they deserve better.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Meehan and Dysarz met in California in 1998. By 2000, they were busy building a hair-salon business, but their home seemed empty, and they decided to pursue fatherhood.

Last fall, a 23-year-old woman came into the salon with three children.

Dysarz thought the children were adorable. He kidded the woman about taking them home.

Was he really kidding??? That idiot woman should have got out of there ASAP. Instead, she's having quadruplets. Words don't exist to describe this wickedness.

A more complete version of the story (from the local paper) was posted here. It includes the "selective reduction" (abortion) which was part of this sordid (mis)conception.

[mombonn]

There are not enough words to describe how disgusting I find this whole thing. God help the poor children.

[Puppage]

Great. Let's celebrate a Gay Litter.

[Aliska]

When it's all said and done, they will probably find a way to blame the women.

Gives all new meaning to the phrase "sewing their wild oats".

[Paul Atreides]

Just a case of abnormal people trying to fool everyone into thinking they are normal, by copying them.

[TightSqueeze]

a selfindulgent life style

LOL, I live a self-indulgent, no I am not gay, yes I am married. Let me say I would never think about raising this many children, hell I ain’t interested in any kids. So, I can understand how someone might label me, but these two guys look anything but self-indulgent. BTW are you a monk or something?

[Paul Atreides]

"Michael will be 'Dad,' because he's the biological father," Dysarz said. "I'll be 'Thomas.'"

Thomas probably won't be around for very long, given the homosexual bed-hopping that goes on and AIDS.

[Paul Atreides]

Meehan and Dysarz said the surrogate mother has told them she doesn't want to be involved in raising the children on a regular basis. But the men said they will always let her know how the babies are doing.

Idiot woman.

Remember Jesse Dirkhising.

Yes, Jesse Dirkhising, the boy whose adoptive parents...

...oh, wait, he wasn't killed by two men who had adopted him. I guess you're just trying to create a paralell where none exists.

[Dimensio]

Yes, when a homosexual comments on children it is always in a sexual context. Right...
