    Takes WAAAAAAAAAY too long to get to the fucking point. Up until this quote it almost sounds like an article from The Onion:

    according to Peter Romer-Friedman, the couple’s lawyer, the EEOC discovered that the city would provide IVF benefits to couples using a surrogate—as long as it wasn’t a gay male couple.

    So the couple sounds willing to pay out of pocket to support a surrogate but they’re only asking to get help with IVF itself.

      The fourth paragraph is where it becomes very clear, in case you were somehow deluded into thinking they meant IVF was somehow being done with a male. I’m not sure why you’re pulling a quote from further down.

      Although, it could easily be done with a trans man, so I don’t get why that sounds satirical.

        This part?

        This coverage extends to couples that plan to use donor eggs.

        Still a bit vague. I’m sure a conservative somewhere is going to say a gay man wanted an ovum implanted in his butt.
