Not a fan.
There are plenty of kids that need adopting. I also can't help wondering if the interests of the child are being considered above the 'needs' of the couple. Ending up in a one parent or single sex parents situation is one thing, but making it happen on purpose is questionable in my opinion.

The issue here is if surrogacy is appropriate for gay couples and the potential effects on that child of having same sex parents and a surrogate mother.
Are the wishes of the couple being prioritised over the interests of the child?

Can’t have an unplanned kid if you are openly gay and in a same secx committed relationship, every child that they have is harder to get, i’m all for it. Can’t say the same about a lot of non same sex couples that end up having a kid they didn’t really plan and hadnt prepared to have.

I wouldn't call it news or politics. In fact I see no reason why they feel the need to announce this at all.

Tell your families and friends, but no one else cares. The same goes for Jay-Z and Beyonce dragging their kid along everywhere. Your famous, she isn't, leave her at home like every other parent in the room did.

Optimistic as ever

I'm not ok with the idea that a female influence can be potentially excluded from raising a child.

Children with same sex parents are rare and still are bullied for it.....what kind of bubble are you living in?

Children get bullied for being different on just about anything.

Aren't "beta males" practically female in your book anyway?

Good luck to 'em I say; as long as the child is loved and has a stable and happy home that's the most important thing.
