It’s interesting,the ‘aha moment’ she had, because honestly, I’ve never thought of it that way either.

A lot of heterosexual couples get pregnant and it’s a surprise, or even if it’s not, they haven’t necessarily thought it out, and they don’t have to. They just, ‘oh you know what? we should have a baby’ and then they throw away the condoms and the birth control pills and wait for it to happen. 

With same-sex couples, they have to sit down and talk to doctors or social services and sign up on websites and give their financial information and talk about their past and what plans they have for the future, just for someone ELSE to even CONSIDER the idea that maybe they are ready to have a child.

Basically, when a same-sex couple either goes through a surrogate or finds a sperm/egg donor or goes through adoption agency after adoption agency, you KNOW that they want this child and you KNOW that they have the financial stability to give this child what it needs and you KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this child will be loved. 

So at the end of the day, when an adoption agency is saying that a same-sex couple shouldn’t be allowed to be parents simply because of their genders, but at that same time, two teenagers in lust forgot to wrap it before they tapped it decided to bring a child into the world, they get to keep the child because it’s their biological baby? I call bullshit.

Biology doesn’t make a family. Love does.
