I'm seeing legislation popping up all over for LGBT "reproductive rights" in the US. Giving gays and lesbians legal marriage status for hospital visits and sharing assets was easy enough to approve because that looked and felt unfair and there weren't any children involved. But now they're demanding getting insurance coverage for IVF and surrogacy. Yikes. Once a few permissive precedents have been made (and anti discrimination laws are in place) it's very difficult to say No when the really uncomfortable (and ridiculous) stuff is reached. And of course, if it's ok'd for LGB, it will be ok'd for the T.Gays could have easily chosen to be happy when anti-sodomy laws were struck down. They could have easily made peace with the fact that homosexuality is an alternative lifestyle that normal people have perfectly valid reasons to be repulsed by. They could have easily not whine about not being included in an institution (marriage) that they had scant respect for in the first place, kept their shit underground and away from polite society, and not shit where everyone else eats.
I don't want my insurance premiums (or taxes for that matter) to go up so Gary and Stan (or Erin and Zinnia) can rent a womb for 9 months. And then later take their toddlers to the Pride parade in kiddie bondage gear.
