‘We are expected to be OK with not having children’: how gay parenthood through surrogacy became a battleground

[Cosmik Debris]

I can read them you know. Is it your go to method to immediately resort to ad hominem?

You can? Then why the elementary mistakes I pointed out and the incorrect conclusion. Show me the ad hominem?

You said there is definitely no genetic component. As in it's already fact, without linking any proof of your claim. There is a small influence: less than 1%. Not 0%.

I never said there is a single reason a person is likely to exhibit same-sex sexual behavior. I merely disagreed with you that there is no genetic component.

There is a statistical possibility with not much confidence. Learn about confidence in statistical analysis.

Is that the definition of "definitely"?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Maybe he said "definitely" for personal reasons

No, for logical reasons. How do gay people procreate and pass their gay genes on?

No, for logical reasons. How do gay people procreate and pass their gay genes on?

When gay people were/are forced by society to marry women and have children?

There's also bisexual people, you know.

There is no such thing as a gay gene. Straight people make gay people.

I see your point, but it is irrelevant.

There's nothing crazy about the idea that people should get the same medical benefits as their co-workers. You would know that if you even bothered to read the context of this article.

A small statistical probability with little confidence sits on the outliers of the Bell Curve. Like the possibility of being in a plane crash. It can happen but most likely won't. The term definitely accounts for 99.999%. You're nit picking and splitting hairs using pedantry.

Gay people don't have sperm?

I said gay, Which means exclusively on the Kinsey Homo - Hetero Continuum. Very few of those procreated with women.

Gay people don't have sperm?

They do but don't procreate naturally.

It's not the same at all. The same costs apply to straight couples who conceive through surrogacy.

Being gay and being unable to conceive is the same as being straight and being unable to conceive.

The waters become murky when you're asking your medical aid to cover the costs of someone who you aren't paying for on your plan...

Of course they do. What a silly question.

Fair.

Have you interviewed all of them to know for a fact they did not procreate? Where is your proof?

They do. But sperm + schit = Spermyschit, not a baby.

No, the gay's couple argument is that their colleagues, specifically straight and lesbian women, receive cover for surrogacy, IVF etc. Two lesbian women can't conceive together either.
