@JeffreyEqualityNewma,
I've a few very long term gay friends - that's because we are all so old and the years pile up. For them, kids would have been a real adventure into the face of massive opposition. That is my surmise, as we haven't talked about it. We live far away. Of those, there is one I am guessing would have liked to have children.
To a person, they all give to the community their time and often money.
