"... am so proud his daddies will get to take care of him and raise him," she says.

"his daddies"? These people are sickos.

To the schoolteacher, "Hello Mrs. Snow, I'd like you to meet my Daddies." /sarcasm. But, true.

Gay dads want their son to grow up straight

SURRRRRRRRRE they do!

[SpyGuy]

the men used a California-based surrogacy and egg donation firm, Growing Generations, which is dedicated to the gay and lesbian community.

It's the end of the world as we know it...

I saw this story yesterday. I'm not a reflexive homophobe as so many FReepers are (some with good reason, some apparently just out of joy that there is one group remaining they can hate without guilt.) Mostly I am very glad I don't have that particular temptation; mine are enough to cope with. Can I throw stones? Have I done so much better? Don't know, can't guess; hope so, but doubt so. If someone is gay and makes a stable family, maybe they are doing the best they can, spiritually and morally. I find promiscuous gay lifestyles far, far more offensive...but worse than promiscuous straight ones? No, not much. And from the proliferation of internet porn it is obvious that gays really don't have straights beat in the perversion department.

I wish these two men well and hope they are good parents. Certainly most straight parents don't seem to get it right any more, and many get it so horribly wrong. It seems that they are starting with one terrible handicap that will make everything harder--mostly on the kid, not them.

If they want their kids to be straight, then don't adopt them. People who engage in homosexual activity (don't call them "gay" like it's a pronoun) wanting to adopt children is the height of their selfishness. Sorry folks, you engage in abnormal behavior for your developmental behavioral disorder, and need counseling, not raising kids, to get you back to normalcy. Absolutely sickening.

If these perverts want their sons to grow up straight, the sonovabitches should set the example. If they are too twisted to do that, they are too twisted to be trusted alone with potential victems.

$75,000? A baby costs less than a Porsche? That's very, very frightening.

At some point in time the child will want to know who his mother is, and pointing at that fellow next to you isn't going to satisfy that question. He has every right to know the lineage he comes from, not only for subjective reasons but for health reasons as well. This experiment in changing the God-given requirements of marriage and family is doomed to fail.

This is a case of adults fulfilling their own desires, but it is the children who suffer

This line of the article says it best.

IMHO...how much more difficult will it be than the the "usual household" for two moms or two dads to raise a child? What are the odds of the child not being "stigmatized"?

Again, JMO, but I have real concerns about the welfare and well-being of children who have such "alternative families"...and not because gay "parents" are "bad" parents, but because "gay" is far outside the "mainstream", still, like it or not. Check out your typical "3rd grade peer group", or any other "typical peer group"...

One last "IMHO"...I even have mixed feelings about gay couples adopting "at risk" and unwanted children, although I'm sure these children could benefit from any opportunity at a decent life...but for gay folks to go through all kinds of machinations to create their "own" children (which they obviously can't do themselves, despite how loving their relationship is) seems the height of self-gratification. Who of us out there, no matter how sympathetic to our friends, would be be proud to say "this is my dad/mom, and this is my other dad/mom, but I don't really know my real birth mom/dad"????

Baby hasn't made three for actor B.D. Wong and his partner, Richie Jackson. We hear the couple has split - barely three months after Wong published "Finding Foo," an account of the difficult premature birth of their son, Foo, now 3.

"B.D. has moved out of their condo," says a source, "but apparently it's amicable. B.D. has taken another apartment nearby, to be close to their son."

Jackson, who has served as Wong's agent, didn't return calls.

Wong is known for his work on "Oz" and "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit." He is currently reprising his role as a lead voice talent on "Mulan II," the sequel to Disney's successful 1998 animated movie.

One would think the fact they have to go to such extraordinary means to have a child would indicate tho them that their behavior is not natural.

Beyond that, there is something especially wrong with someone who intentionally deprives a child of a mother and a father.

It seem that gay people come from.....straight people.....straight men and straight women....straight religious and not so religious people, straight Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian, etc people....

Sadly, the odds of one or both of these men eventually molesting this child are quite high. Higher numbers of molesters are homosexuals.

Happy and please God I am totally wrong.

[Fraulein]

More selfish adults putting their own needs before those of their children.
