Surrogate Mothers

The New York Times had good piece on gay couples and surrogate mothers this week. (NY Times Article) It discussed how more and more surrogates are helping out gay couples, and for a variety of reasons, many prefer gay couples to straight ones; that sentiment is primarily based on the residue of emotional trauma usually suffered by an infertile couple, wearing off on the surrogate.

Hopefully it is a sign that there is wider support for gays/lesbians than the homophobic majorities of the 18 states who voted to ban gay marriage. I read this story on the heels of reading another article from CNN. “Representatives of the nation's top psychiatric group approved a statement…urging legal recognition of gay marriage”, following the American Psychological Association’s move to do the same last year.

In looking back over my blog, I have noticed a large number of negative stories and my remarks. I look forward to more positive stories, like these two, to reflect on.
