Do you hope to get married and settle down to raise children at some point in your life?

I aspire to be an amazing househusband, and to wake up every morning and go to Starbucks in my Range Rover. I plan on having that close family with 3-4 kids who go on luxurious weekend lake trips and all that stuff.

no children thanks, I don't like them, I mean they're cute for a while but no.

Yes

Not ready for it any time soon really, but I would like to be a mother. I would absolutely want to be married first tho.

I wouldn't mind having cats.

I dont think I will be a good mother, I wouldn't want to be pregnant either. Besides I don't want my kid to ever be a teenager but people don't work like that

Not particularly. I'd rather be a mentor/aunt/older sister type of person in someone's life rather than a mother. I value my alone time and independence far too much to bring a child into the mix, I don't feel like I could properly allocate my time to them and that would be unfair so I'm not even gonna try it.

Yes and I plan to have 10 kids. I don't really mind having no kids though and just travelling around, staying in 5 star hotels and having sex with randoms.

All these choice of lifestyles

I agree a lot with this especially with the time allocating. I can barely allocate my time to others so its hard seeing myself in a relationship so it would be harder for me to allocate my time to a child. We'll see where I end up though.

Absolutely- it would be incredibly satisfying.

Yup I want a total of 12.

I've always wanted to have 3. IDK why.

Gotta lock down a man and raise some babies in our gay household.

Basically this.

My only dilemma is figuring out which language I'm going to raise them in.

Why not teach them one language and once they get that down really fluent teach them all the other languages you know. It'll help them when they get older.

Since I am gay I want to adopt teenagers with my partner. And if we cannot adopt we will be taking in foster children who need a safe place to stay.

I wanted to go down that route, but I guess finally Came to terms with being gay.. I still would like to have a family with kids unfortunately I don't know now how to approach situation like that with a dude

There are plenty of paths to parenthood available to LGBT+ people!

• Adoption: commonly available. You and a partner could adopt a kid together, or you could adopt your partner's kid(s) if he's already a parent.
• Foster care: commonly available.
• Surrogacy: very expensive, if you're going through official channels (which is probably for the best).
• Co-parenting: make a lesbian friend— you supply the sperm, she provides the egg/womb, and you + your partner and her + her partner raise the child together. Not recommended unless you and your friend are absolutely certain about it...

You should note that LGBT+ people that participate in adoption / foster care might face a bit tougher scrutiny (home inspections are a norm), and that we're typically offered the kids that straight white couples don't want: kids of color, unhealthy kids, older "problem" kids, etc.

Despite all of that, parenthood is a very real and very attainable option for LGBT+ people, so don't count it out!


(Of course, this is all about the USA. IDK how things are elsewhere).
