Lesbian legislator in Utah serves as surrogate mom for gay men
”To watch them get emotional when we look at the ultrasound and we see their baby, it is so gratifying for me to know I’m helping them become a family… They are, in concert, just going to be perfect parents…. Not only am I a single mother who’s pregnant, but I’m also a lesbian mother who is pregnant and having a baby for two gay men. That might be startling to some.”
Utah state Representative Christine Johnson speaking about being a surrogate parent for a pair of gay men. Johnson is a lesbian and Democrat serving Salt Lake City. She is reported to have a 17-year-old daughter from a previous marriage to a man. Her pregnancy, apparently, is the result of sperm donated from one of the two anonymous gay men. (Salt Lake Tribune)
