I've got load of old uni friends that are lesbians/in same sex relationships. The majority now seem to have children, via donors/IVF etc.

I've got a few gay friends. I don't tend to talk about children with them. However one guy man said he doesn't think gay males are really into having families so he wouldn't be adopting/having children.

AIBU for now thinking that normalising surrogacy/artificial baby making will mean people will be pressured into having children?

artifical baby making???

What's a home couple?

But no not really as it will still be really expensive. And people won't be pressured into having children via a surrogate. Lots of gay couples do adopt children though.

The thread title suggests that surrogacy presents the potential to create a culture in which hetero couples feel compelled to outsource gestating their own children but the content of your post suggests that surrogacy is frog marching reluctant gay men into parenthood?

I suppose you could make and argument for both, and both simultaneously, but it's a lot to cover.

No, just because something is possible, doesn't mean people will want to do it.
