Forum: Same-Gender Community

Hello all! My name is Kate and I am a 25 year old woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to term. Pregnancy problems are nothing new in my family - so when I was told that the chance was next to nothing that I would have anything but miscarriages I was not surprised, just heartbroken. My...

I'm so happy this board exists! I've been scared to be chased out of some with pitch forks and torches! My name is Andy, I'm 22 and my wife is Shane, she's also 22. We've been married just over 18 months, and have been together for 3 years. We're going to begin ttc next year after the 4 year...

I never watched Boston Legal until this year. And of course it's in the last season. But last night I saw that Wm Shatner and the other dude were gay? I didn't know that. They got married on the show. NOw, I've only been watching it this season so I knew of NO background, but obviously...

Hello everyone I am new to fertilethoughts.com I am happy to see that there is a same gender community and hoping to meet some people here that could share their stories with me. My partner and I are trying to conceive but are filled with so many questions, and honestly are clueless about this....

We were married by a friend of Teresa's who just happened to be working in the clerks office tonight. Some guys who just got married...

Hello all. I haven't been around in forever. I mostly post in a different forum. My g/f and I have a 15 yr old son, a 2 1/2 year old daughter and were thinking about #3. This time we have a known donor and were just in the discussion phase of things. He's willing, were willing (mostly...just...

THis was on the homepage for Apple: No on Prop 8 Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe...

It frustrates the hell out of me how these progressive democrats are still adamantly expressing their opposition to gay marriage. Now I understand that they feel that they HAVE to say that - but sheesh - shouldn't this be a non-issue by now?

a friend of mine recently told me a story how she heard of certain organizations that awarded grants to lesbian and same sex couples who were trying to conceive.. she said she read an article in the paper a few years back but can not remember how these people went about it... has anyone ever heard...

Hi all, We had Benji's fifth birthday party today. It was at a place called Acrosports....a very San Francisco type place for acrobatics and gymnastics classes for kids and adults. We had about 20 kids there plus adults, but it was sooo fun and Benji loved it. He starts kindergarten at the...

Do you or anyone else reading for that matter know of any same sex Aussie couples that have done surrogacy/ donor gametes? 2 guys looking for support in their quest to have a child via surrogacy.
