Um, have you noticed a recent pattern in celebrity baby news? If not -- let me point it out, so you can join me in scratching my head, like, "huh?". It goes like this: Person Whose Sexuality Has Been Questioned Suddenly Reveals They've Had (or are about to have) a Baby (or Babies) with a friend or "gestational surrogate." Is....this the new "coming out" announcement? It's subtle, but I think I see a trend emerging. Like-- the "single dad" thing is supposed to be the once and for all "yes, I am," that we've all been looking for?
If you don't know what I mean by now, I'm speaking of Clay Aiken's recent baby, and then, out of nowhere, Ricky Martin's twins. Wha.....what? I mean, I guess it's only fair-- alleged lesbians have been doing this for years (Jodie Foster, pre-out Rosie O'Donnell, not sure about Camryn Manheim but you get my drift). I just think it's interesting that now allegedly gay man are getting in on this, with not even an implication of the fact that they might have actually had The Sex to achieve these babies. What are we supposed to assume, when Clay admits to in-vitro and Ricky Martin (who, I'm sure, could have just impregnated a fan) used a surrogate? Seriously-- are they confirming through babies? Weird!
So-- I guess-- go (still secret) gay pride! That's cool and a little confusing, all at once.
