parenting is I suppose kind of licensed by CPS. when you screw up, you are monitored.
i sort of see gay families as procreating on their own. they have a uterus, or alternately some sperm, they buy or find some sperm, or alternatively rent a uterus, y voila…not much different than the families created by in vitro by heteros.
there is clearly overlap between a lot of hetero formed families who borrow buy or find sperm, or rent uterii, and gay families who hunt down such resources, so the fact that some hetero families can save money by not buying sperm and making their ow n completely homemade family with their own stash doesn’t really prove anything (except maybe sperm ought to be tax deductible?). if adoption is eligible for a tax credit, maybe sperm ought to geyt a 50% credit? Iam not thinking hetero repro is more awesome than gay cobbled together families. just different strategy…
although i will say, it is pretty impressive, when your sperm actually works. Im still kind of cocky about it. frankly I am shocked that my sperm actually grew into anything. it always looked so, well, dead, just lying there on a towel. it never slithered away, or grew a nose or did much of anything besides congeal.
but evidently it actually WAS alive, and found its way into an egg, and did its little mystery two step there, not just once, but multiple times!
still, Im not saying that makes me better than gay couples. Just that Im kind of impressed with my own former viirility. I guess we all are, and thats why selfcontained family production seems more macho…but soemtimes it takes a village to create a baby… hell, i’d sell anyone my sperm if they want some. except i did have that vasectomy, so i guess im sold out.
