Gay Fatherhood or Donorhood?

An interesting story in the NYT Magazine on gay men having children with lesbian couples.
Gay Donor or Gay Dad?

In an effort to become a parent of a sort, R., who is gay, agreed, 11 years ago, to donate sperm to a lesbian couple aspiring to pregnancy. A few years before, R. became friendly with a woman — white and upper class like himself — through the gay activist world. They weren’t good friends, he said, “just friendly.” The woman had a partner, a middle-class black woman, whom R. knew less well but who seemed solid.

As usual on the subject of marriage and parenting, the folks at Family Scholars Blog have a few interesting comments.

I have a couple of thoughts but I’m too tired, good night:)
