Well if you think about logically its not very silly. I think its because some lesbians may still want to experience pregnancy. But in the case of homosexual men its probably easier to go adopt a child rather than donate sperm and wait for 9 months.

Well sweetie, I am a gay dad who adopted two children from the foster system. Sure, I know that I cannot be the mother that my daughter wants, but I am the parent that she needs - someone who loves her, cares for her, and someone who (like most parents) sacrifices for their children. The 70s and 80s were full of little boys raised w/o fathers. Well, the World is more complex and both genders must be flexible and take on many roles....Also, you have great taste in music.

Same-sex adoption is not legal everywhere in the United States. I think this is a major discrepancy of equal rights and protections. I wonder when will LGBT Americans have equal rights, equal protection against discrimination on the job or at adoption, equal marriage. LGBT Americans are a minority, and even if we can reproduce we can't reproduce other LGBT people, and well at least I'm open about straights converting to gays, but that's harder than converting to Orthodox Judaism. Keep trying!

Or LoriLynn..your thoughts are at least kind at best, however, yes, although its true that a child does not HAVE to have both parents to be well adjusted, I would have given my left arm to have had a mother to have grown up with. To learn what mothers teach daughters as opposed to only having men as i grew up. Untold amount of time i spent wondering, "IF"? Most people stick their foot in their mouths when they think that two men could raise me better then to have a mom as I grew! Jenni
