- Kamal,
- Where did you get the idea that gays must adopt to have
- children? The ones I know were made at home the old fashioned way. I
- know four groups of gay and lesbian people who banded together with
- either plain old sex or a kitchen baster to make babies. There are
- five children now that I know of from gay parents, and none were
- adopted. Women also slide back and forth across the lesbian/het
- barrier a bit easier it seems, and may do that several times in their
- life. My last SO's mom was gay and then she wasn't and had a guy
- again for the last few years. Some lesbians are just female humans who
- happened to wind up in love with another female first. Gay men seem to
- me to have a harder time going both ways. I have seen a gay man get
- his lover erect to have sex with a lesbian who wanted to have a child
- with them. I tend to think the chicken baster may be urban legend, but
- I didn't witness the fertilization of the other four kids, and they
- won't tell me who or how.:)
