It's not weird to want children. It *is* weird to use medical technology to
overcome fertility issues, regardless of whether the people involved are
straight or ***. Your hyperreactivity shows a bias on your part -- or maybe
you just don't know what the word "weird" means. Here, let Merriam-Webster
help you: "of strange or extraordinary character"

Is it your stance that the practices of female couples using the same sperm
donor and swapping embryos occur in a large portion of the population?
Female couples don't even comprise a large portion of the population!
Therefore, Cat Cora's situation is BY DEFINITION weird. It is in no way an
adverse reflection on her sexual preferences; it's a simple and obvious
commentary on her outlying status in the demographics.

Read what I wrote, and point out where I said anything about custody being
less complicated for heterosexual couples. Can't do it, can you? You posted
a knee-jerk reaction to what you THOUGHT I posted, without reading what was
ACTUALLY posted. But harking back to the post which prompted me to write,
the potential custody situation *would be* more complicated because of the
method of conception and carriage to term. Your inability to admit that
indicates that you are either unable or unwilling to recognize that some
complex situations are less complex than others. Since you probably *are*
able to recognize that, then by default you must be unwilling, which means
that your mind is closed, and YOU are the biased one.

Of course you're not: Why would you be interested, when your mind is
completely closed?
