And if I don't like knowing that people are getting married in that way, that's understandable, but it's their life--not mine. Besides, there are things out there that we really need to stop. Like abortion, and anothing else pushing something on someone else's body. How would we feel if we weren't allowed to marry men, or if men wouldn't be allowed to marry women? That would be horrible! I would feel different, alone, and separated.
I agree with pretty much everything you said; But as far as this point I've quoted, it's pretty obvious that woman/man marriages couldn't be illegalized, since, assuming that children should only come to married couples, that would mean the extinction of our race. sweatdrop

Actually two women can have a child by taking the DNA from the egg of one woman and putting it in the egg of the other woman. It acts as kind of a sperm and fertalizes the egg. The resulting child is ALWAYS a female however (which makes sense if you look at the chromosomes present).

Well if you're going to start using technology... xp

But really, I didn't know that, but it makes sense.

Leave it to technology. Oh well, that's interesting... I never knew that. I just hope those female scientists don't get any bright ideas anytime soon.

xd Science Fiction becomes reality so easily... After all, nothing is invented if someone doesn't think of something to invent first. It's not always the same thing as was thought up, but still.

And I want to see that anime... It sounds pretty dang awesome. And that "promotional" video I saw from the beginning of the first one sounds like a fairly good description...

Good, Miranda. You stay on your side, I'll stay on my side.

We don't have to share. Good. I hate sharing. xp

You hate me because I'm beautiful. gonk

Wow holy crap I didn't know that was possible.... I didn't even try and consider it. I always thought I'd just take the easy way out and adopt.....
Btw is there any way for two men to combine their dna and use a surrogent mother?

I htough it was. Its a combination of ANimation and CGI. And the two toghether are almost flawless. In basics tearms. There are two waring factions. The Planet of Turik (rulled by nothign but males) and Mejar (rulled by only females) They are th survivors of a colonisation ship form earth that broke apart to two diffren tplanets.

Males reproduce by basic cloning realy. Two cells, one from each consiting adult, are combined and then grow in an artificial womb.

Female reproduction is more natural, it happens the way yo described. Its a pretty interesting concept, but that not what the anime is about. If your interested, Netflix has the entire series, or you can some times catch on Action or Wam.

No, you would need an egg. It works between two eggs, but a sperm isn't able to develop and grow like an egg. For lots of gay men they mostly use invetro-fetalization and have a woman carry the child for them, or they adopt.

I actually have agreed to carry a child for my friend Mattie, who is a gay male. xd

Naw, you can have his babies. They'll just be all gay and junk, anyway. xp

Yup definitely adoption, I don't want to have any questions about parental rights.

You still have to be careful with adoption as well. There's a grace period between how long after you adopt the child and how long until the mother can change her mind and take the child back. Here it's 3 months.

Yeah but after that then you get all parental rights, corret?

No, I'd just be the surrogate mother. Speaking in terms of legality I COULD change my mind and keep the child, however if this happens it would be after I have a couple kids of my own (so that the temptation to keep it isn't there xd ) plus I'm good friends with Mattie and so the feeling of never knowing what's happening to the child wouldn't be there either.

Whether or not it happens, who knows? But it's always an option and I already told him that I'd be willing to do it, which I was being completely truthful about.
