Results: Birthing and Siring Surrogacy for Homosexual Couples
I offer no apologies for what may be for some panelists the controversial nature of the question below. But I do apologize for the lack of graphics in so text-heavy a survey; nothing came to my mind to add that wouldn't come off as jokey or irrelevant.

Earlier in 2026, my former pastor informed me of the the wife of the son of a former fellow congregant of mine has been birthed at least a couple of children for at least one male homosexual couple. Apparently, there's good money in providing a womb for a twosome by whose biological nature actual conception is impossible. If you're a woman, have or would you, essentially, rent your womb to bring a child into the world who would be raised by two men in a homosexual relationship? Yes to to least one of those (and may have provided such service)

As for the husband of the aforementioned woman, whom I considered something of a friend when he and I were members of the same church --though, as he has with our former pastor, he's likely un-friended me on Facebook de to political differences, if he still has an account there--my first thought about him upon learning of his wife's service for men in same-sex coupling is that he must be comfortable with that arrangement (he and his wife have children of their own conception as well). If you're a man with a wife or other female romantic significant other capable of bearing children, would you be pleased with her birthing a child for a male couple? Yes

Analogously for lesbian couples wanting to parent a child, some rely on a man's semen in to impregnate--by non-penile means, likely--one half of a couple. The only case of this coming to my mind is that of late Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young) member David Cosby donating his genetic material to conceive the child raised by singer Melissa Etheridge and her then-partner, Julie Cypher. Whether you're a woman who identifies as lesbian or a heterosexual woman married to a man, would you want to birth any children sired by a man who, as was the case for the girl raised by Etheridge and Cypher, has no part in parenting the child conceived by his sperm? Yes

If you're a male Tellwutter and knew a lesbian couple desirous of rearing a child, would you, without having sex with either woman in that couple, donate your seed to the conception of a child those women would raise with no parental input from you? Yes
