NSYNC star Lance Bass and husband Michael Turchin expecting twins after years of trying for children

Former NSYNC member Lance Bass has revealed that he and husband Michael Turchin are expecting twins later this year.

The star told People magazine they had gone through years of IVF and surrogacy attempts, as well as suffering a miscarriage.

However, Bass revealed the happy news that they will welcome and boy and a girl into the family in November.

The 42-year-old said: "It has been quite the journey.

"Because of what we've been through the last four years, we were very cautious to get excited. And it kind of sucks because when you find out you're pregnant, you want to celebrate with your family.

"You start planning their future in your head already, but we were so scared because we didn't want to go through the pain again of losing them.

"We told our friends and family about the ninth week, when we finally felt comfortable. You think you're going to jinx it or something."

Turchin, 34, married Bass in 2014, and said: "We went through nine different egg donors, which is rare. We got all the way down the path of about to retrieve their eggs.

"Some just wouldn't produce enough eggs, some weren't good genetic matches. If you're going to be a match, you don't want to even risk it."

Turchin has a twin sister himself, and the couple said they knew they wanted twins of their own.

Making the announcement on social media, the couple shared a Halloween-themed video to coincide with the first day of Pride month.

I bet you think there's no evidence that having a single mother is a net negative for most children, too.

Never said that.

Kids are entitled to the love and attention of their parents, which means their mother and their father.

Okay. Says who? The worst thing about you fundies is that you're not fine organizing your life the way you please, you want the rest of us to play part of your religious wet dream too. Don't marry a guy and have kids then. Problem solved.

This, on the other hand, isn't the product of unavoidable circumstances. Two gay guys just decided to use a woman as an incubator to fulfill their vanity project. They didn't even have the sense to consider adopting an already-born child-- not that that would have been much better for them, but it'd at least provide some kind of stability for them.

I mean, sure you can say this, but thousands of straight couples undergo the same thing. Unless you're reeeeing outside Planned Parenthoods about IVF and sperm donations I doubt your sincerity.

How is it not good for the kids? Are you one of those evangelical retards who thinks gay people make bad parents?

I'm culturally about as far away from being that as it's possible for an American to be, without being a total fedora-ist or buddha-botherer. I have, however, had some close encounters with southern fundies in the heart of 15,000 churches land, which (like many real world experiences) has given me a broader understanding of what Evangelicals, Baptists, and so on are actually like, so I don't see them as boogiemen. They're really pretty mild by Old Testament standards. Also lol Pentecostals no one likes you and pretending to speak in tongues is fake and gay.

You're dumb white trash making up shit because you're insecure that gay people can have kids, too.

Same-sex and different-sex parent households and child health outcomes: findings from the National Survey of Children’s Health

I know you insecure right-wing trash don't trust studies because your fee-fees are more important than facts, but there ya go

Yes, yes, we know. It's always good to have SCIENCE! on hand to make you feel righteous. Thing is, SCIENCE! is dying, soon we will have killed it just like we killed God. I'm not particularly impressed by that one tired study that says lesbos had similar outcomes. First of all, we're talking about fags, not dykes. Second, in order to make specific SCIENCE claims to me you'll need way more data and (wait for it).... replication. Have you heard of the replication crisis? My knowledge rests on a base of empiricism and frankly, you'll have to prove that fags (and dykes) aren't actually emotionally unstable and frequently drug addled weirdos, and that children don't really need a male/female nuclear structure (part of our evolutionary biology) in their lives to develop properly.

IIRC there are even some studies that show having a shitty father in a standard "NO HOMO" relationship is better than having none. There are lots of stoodies. Stoodies at this point should be treated like the preliminary observations of tiny segments of humanity that they are.

SCIENCE aside, we can really go back to fundamentals on this question. If your dad gets buggered in the ass by your other dad, that's fucked up and not conducive to learning how to be a normal person. Getting buggered (in the ass) is not normal, it's not in line with normal male nature and the psychology of a normal male. It goes against the poles/holes dichotomy on a macro scale. Something that is a pole and ALSO a hole makes it neither. Imagine knowing that you're a test tube babby and your dads bugger each other (in the ass). Frankly lesbianism is less offensive (it's basically just a silly idea typical of women) and I'm not surprised that they did pull at least some data showing it failed to offend the kids in the head. I forget if they controlled for household income in that study but either way.

Oh speaking of fudamentals, lol gays literally can't reproduce, how's that for fundamentals. Being gay and "reproducing" means immediately taking a kid away from one of it's biological parents, like some kind of fucked up artificial version of a divorce. Then the kid gets raised with a step-parent not by accident, but by design. I'm sure all the extra steps that add complexity make everything better and more stable.

Lol@a prolifer clutching pearls about using women as incubators.

These dudes will make better parents than pretty much all fundies (who inevitably abuse their kids in some way).

Damn guess straight couples that like anal are fucked

Btw I grew up in the south surrounded by fundies too and yeah, they really are that shitty. And without fail always abuse their kids, seriously I have never talked to someone with fundie parents who wasnt abuse by them in some way.

The worst thing about you fundies is that you're not fine organizing your life the way you please, you want the rest of us to play part of your religious wet dream do what humanity has done for almost all of recorded history too. Don't marry a guy and have kids then. Problem solved.

Fixed that for you. Has all the, totally not gay by the way, cock you've sucked given you brain damage or something? No, it's virtually all of humanity that must be in the wrong! You're all crazy Fundies for wanting the natural order of things! I'm not the crazy one, it's the rest of you Normal People!

Bruh gay people have existed for as long as the rest of humanity has, plenty of greek art and shit of dudes suckin dick and all that shit. There are even gay animals.

The natural order of things is we all run around naked and die by our 30s max, and fuck everyone and every thing (at least if our closest relative bonobos are any indication).

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Never said that.

Never said you said that. Your reasoning is certainly on that level, though.

Okay. Says who? The worst thing about you fundies is that you're not fine organizing your life the way you please, you want the rest of us to play part of your religious wet dream too.

The legal code and culture of pretty much every country agrees with my assertion. This is why even fathers who have demonstrably abandoned mother and child can-- and will-- still be on the hook for child support, barring proper adoption procedure being done beforehand. This is why parents who abandon their children are considered vile. This is why we have adoption procedures in the first place, and why this couple will still have to go through said procedure in becoming the guardians of the child at hand (only one of the men is the "father", inherently).

This has nothing to do with being a "fundie" (I'm no kind of Protestant), please stop vomiting your consternation with a largely irrelevant subculture in inappropriate contexts.

I mean, sure you can say this, but thousands of straight couples undergo the same thing. Unless you're reeeeing outside Planned Parenthoods about IVF and sperm donations I doubt your sincerity.

Maybe you should have asked me about my opinion about IVF and sperm donation before trying to perform a gotcha over anticipated hypocrisy.

Alternatively, maybe you should have paid attention to the implications of what I had already stated before trying to perform a gotcha over anticipated hypocrisy.

Get your head out of your ass-- if I'm saying that a child is entitled to their father and mother, does it make sense for me to also be okay with sperm donation when the woman receiving it obviously isn't going to build a family with the donor?

As for IVF, it involves the destruction of multiple embryos in most cases, unless it's the only one in the batch that takes. So, no, IVF in typical practice is a no-go, and people who have such insurmountable struggles bearing children of their own should strongly consider adopting a child instead.

I know you hate scientists because you are a retard, but until you bigots come up with your own study showing the opposite, you should probably believe the one that exists.

There are terrible gay parents and there are good gay parents. There are good straight parents and there are terrible straight parents. Have you ever met a gay person in real life? Most are no different than you or I.

Yes, the Greeks also thought exclusive fags were mostly worthy of ridicule, it's why we have terms like catamite. It was not a positive term. Men were expected to have wives and children for the vast majority of Hellenic society, it was hardly a paradise of cock sucking and butt fucking modern American gays who latch on to it think it was. Our modern approach to homosexuality would be rather alien to them.

I'm not a bonobo, nor are you, and no human society that has ever been successful has patterned itself after them either. The nuclear family, or similar, has been a staple of pretty much every successful culture and civilization on Earth.

 

[Thumb Butler]

Either God is trying to tell these women something, or the only women who would ever agree to give these two faggots children are infertile hags.

Probably both.

Should have adopted black kids (but of course), like other out of touch celebrities like Madonna and Sia.

Except what you quoted specifically says children with female same-sex parents don’t experience significant difference in outcome to children with heterosexual parents. This is a male same sex couple.

Why can't they adopt? Seems like pure narcissism to me for couples incapable of having children to spend a fortune renting some strangers womb.

But I want to carry muh genes...

Oh please, no one's DNA is really that important.

Nah the nuclear family is a pretty modern thing, throughout most of human history you had a big extended household living under one roof. Or one dude and a bunch of wives. And sometimes dudes with "close male friends".

Theres even this fun thing gay people used to do where they married someone of the opposite sex to make everyone think they were straight. Used to be quite common until it finally became sorta kinda ok to be openly gay.

No, it's okay when narcissistic washed up boy band fags do it.

Banning access to safe, legal abortion? Lol hoes mad just use a condom hurrdurr. Gay couple pays a surrogate to have a kid? Handmaid's TaleREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

The Husband/Wife/Kids structure is universal with some slight variation and some variation of living arrangements, yes. You'll have to point me to a society where large groups of fags all lived together in an arrangement that isn't unusual Hellenistic militaristic. Thebes was note worthy for being an exception, not the rule.

Yes, men who have sex with other men have been getting married to women and having children with them for quite some time. Our modern take on exclusive homosexuality is, maybe, a century old. It is the unusual.

 

[Android raptor]

>the worst thing about you is that you have a consistent morality that you judge everything by

Yeah the morality that being gay or yeeting an embryo or getting a divorce is apparently pants-shittingly evil but raping a child or beating your wife or downloading kiddie snuff is cool as long as you pray to jesus enough and blame satan and/or your wife

The Husband/Wife/Kids structure is universal with some slight variation and some variation of living arrangements, yes. You'll have to point me to a society where large groups of fags all lived together in an arrangement that isn't unusual Hellenistic militaristic.

That's a monastery, dude. Or pretty much any all-male space. Tons of gay shit going on there even if it was taboo to openly discuss.
