nikki-red Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Well, I for one am pleased for them. They chose to announce it on Valentine's Day - which, in a romantic sense, makes it nice. There's enough nastiness in the world, it's good that they've found happiness, & want to make it extra special. Totally agree. Theyre obviously excited and wanted to share their happy news, just like any couple would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Straight couples do the same. Got any problem with them using surrogates or adopting? I dont think its right for people to sell their bodies for money, its like prostitution, its morally wrong but it cannot be stopped when all the parties concerned are willing.

Guest Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) When it comes to same sex couples, whether they be two women or two men, starting a family, in which a mother or a father isn't a part of the equation from the outset by design, will be controversial for many.

Mister M Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Its The Guardian for heavens sake. Fluffy bunny la la land. Expecting a baby indeed. It's been reported in the not so fluffy Daily Mail too: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5391109/Tom-Daley-Dustin-Lance-Black-having-baby.html I see that the reader's comments have been moderated, so all the spittle flecked rantings of the swivel eyed brigade won't be seen in all their ugliness. Though I'm sure a few have slipped through the net. Funny that the worst rated comment (earning a whopping 2,900 red downward arrows) reads: Congratulations Guys Obviously Daily Mail readers don't approve Edited February 15, 2018 by Mister M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I just wonder why they didn’t just post “we’re adopting a baby” or “a surrogate is having our baby”. Instead they posted a picture of them holding an ultrasound saying they were expecting a baby. I’m not offended by it or bothered - but if they didn’t want a reaction from the bigots they went about it the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomie Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I just wonder why they didn’t just post “we’re adopting a baby” or “a surrogate is having our baby”. Agreed - that seems a more honest way of announcing the impending birth. They maybe should have been more guarded because legally the child belongs to the mother and if she chooses to keep it they won’t be able to do anything about it. Hopefully the child will be happy and loved but throughout her/his life it will have to deal with the fact that it was conceived as a business transaction and that her/his own mother gave it away. Irrespective of the gay couple issue, many people (particularly women) will be unable to understand how a mother could give her own child away unless forced to by circumstances beyond her control.

sgtkate Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Because neither of them actually are?? So if a guy is having a baby with his wife, he's not allowed to say he's expecting a baby because he isn't pregnant?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
