Snl gay couple baby

And it seems like many viewers think that cultural shift was on display on SNL over the weekend when they ran a skit featuring two straight couples questioning a gay couple about where (and how) they got their baby. In a shocking turn, “Saturday Night Live,” a long-standing bastion of left-wing comedy, aired a sketch that openly mocked the idea of a gay couple having a baby.

For years, the LGBT community has been an untouchable idol for the left, and “SNL’s” sudden shift is jarring, to say the least. Saturday Night Live (SNL) has stirred controversy with a recent skit featuring actor Jon Hamm, which humorously addresses the topic of gay couples having children. It’s clear that they got the baby through surrogacy, but they refuse to admit that, as if gay couples don’t only have two adoptions to purchase a baby.

The point is proved by their blatant offense to it, even though two men can’t make a baby. One gay couple at the dinner party had a newborn baby, and the other guests then begin asking questions as to where and how they acquired a baby — even asking if they stole it. For years, asking questions about gay adoption, surrogacy , or the commodification of children got you labeled a bigot.

The script was simple: love is love, families come in all forms, stop being so judgmental. But it appears the rhetoric has worn thin. The gay couple avoids every honest question with sarcasm, emotional manipulation, and nonsensical woke language. The responses spiral from defensive to downright deranged. The laughter that follows is tinged with disbelief, like, wait, are we finally allowed to laugh at this? For the past two decades, the idea that gay men should have children via adoption or surrogacy has been elevated from novelty to moral necessity.

Hollywood championed it. Courts enforced it. Corporations sponsored it.

One of the many gifts

Questioning the ethics or logistics of this new family structure was taboo, often equated with bigotry. But behind the celebratory headlines and progressive narratives surrounding gay parenthood lies a pressing question: Is this truly in the best interest of the children? The answer is no for obvious and simple reasons.

In the realm of surrogacy, the process often involves affluent individuals commissioning children by purchasing human eggs from young, fertile women, frequently selected based on specific racial or educational criteria, and hiring other women, often from less privileged backgrounds, to carry the pregnancy to term. These arrangements are frequently framed in the language of love and family, yet at their core, they represent a market transaction where human life is commodified.

This practice raises ethical concerns about the exploitation of women's bodies and the rights of the children born through such means. Alternatively, adoption, while often seen as a benevolent act, presents its own set of challenges. Studies indicate that adopted children are more likely to experience psychological and behavioral issues compared to their non-adopted peers.

These challenges can be made worse when children are placed in homes that don't address the fundamental need for both a mother and a father. Every baby has a mother, biologically, spiritually, and emotionally. So does the child. In the case of surrogacy, this truth is often scrubbed from the narrative entirely. And then, without ceremony, they are expected to disappear.

We now have growing testimony from children born through these arrangements who speak candidly about their confusion, their grief, and their longing for the mothers they never knew. Children of anonymous donors and commercial surrogates frequently report struggles with identity, abandonment, and depression, often intensified by a culture that celebrates the transaction but silences their pain. Children adopted into same-sex households, particularly gay male couples, have also begun speaking up.

Many describe childhoods marked by a profound absence of maternal tenderness, feminine influence, and a sense of belonging. Yet our culture, obsessed with affirmation and inclusion, continues to ignore these stories. But children are not props for social progress. They are human beings with real needs. Among them, the right to know and be known by their mother. We lose sight of justice.

For decades, the power of identity politics has outpaced the logic of basic morality.
