Hi!
I assume in this instance the sperm/egg donation comes from a male/female -
heterosexual donation? Then if they donated their sperm/egg that male/female
would be the responsible overpopulating party and not the surrogate mother who
gives birth to the baby for the non-heterosexual family? Therefore, the
discussion of overpopulation is still a heterosexual issue because the
homosexual family was not actually RESPONSIBLE for the overpopulation issue
since they did not actually create the baby?
It is easy to point fingers at others Joe - you there with the blue dress -
stop having babies the world is overpopulated and we don't need more polluters
being born and she would say to you "Excuse me Mr. do I know you?" and you
would say "Oh, I'm just a concerned citizen of a dying ecosystem." And she
would say "Well if your mother was told what you told me just now then you
would have spared the need for your concern - take it up with her!"
Would you feel that you were blaming the wrong person for your concerns>
Overpopulation is a problem - Telling people to stop having children at any
expense is not the answer!
Peace!

In fact...two good friends of mine, a lesbian and a gay man have a baby together;
and it was NOT adopted. So, Angela, that's how queers can DECIDE to HAVE
children.
