All Lesbians Want Kids: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[NYPD Blue]]'', Det. Abbey Sullivan and her partner got Det. Greg Medevoy to donate his sperm.

* Played with in ''[[The Wire]]'': while her partner Cheryl avidly wanted a baby, Kima was initially unenthusiastic, and the baby is one of the many things that ends up coming between the two. The idea of being a mother eventually grows on her, and she ends up getting more involved in their son's life in season five.

** Which seems a bit less insane once you think about that that part of the plot was based on the British version, where Brian's counterpart is more of a nymphomaniac [[Man Child]] than [[Jerkass]] Brian.

** Later, in the third season, said token lesbians (Lindsay and Melanie) decide to have another child together. They select another friend, Michael, to be the baby's biological father, and, in a remarkably strange way of going about it, Lindsay ''actually uses a turkey baster'' to impregnate Melanie.

** ''Averted'' in Friends, as Susan fell in love with Carol independently of her getting pregnant by her then-husband.

* The HBO series ''Bored to Death'' features a storyline about a lesbian couple who hit up one the male main characters for sperm in a coffee shop. [[Eddie Izzard|Like you do.]] When he obliges, they turn around and sell his sperm on the black market to all the other lesbians in the neighborhood, all of whom are also desperate to reproduce.

* Played with in ''[[Flash Forward 2009|FlashForward]]'' where Janice, a lesbian, quite bluntly says she does ''not'' want kids, but is pregnant in her vision of the future.

** Played straight later, however, when {{spoiler|after getting shot, she becomes obsessed with getting pregnant to the point of sleeping with her male best friend Dimitri to conceive the baby on time (there was a sort of deadline... yeah, it's a bit confusing). Moreover, said best friend is actually in a committed relationship... that he doesn't seem to remember when offering to impregnate Janice.}}

* ''[[Puppets Who Kill]]'' had a woman who seduced Buttons and brought him back to her apartment for what he assumed to be sex. Instead, she and her girlfriend hooked his crotch up to a vacuum-like device they had built to suck out his sperm. Naturally this process was purposely very painful in order to play up the [[Does Not Like Men|other stereotype]] about lesbians.

** He also kidnapped the male couple's child. The lesbian couple try to get him to give her back by showing that gay couples can have a loving normal family.

* Played straight, if very much for laughs, in ''[[Rick and Steve]]''. Dana and Kirsten, the show's token lesbian couple, announce their plans to conceive in the pilot episode, and every one of their stories in subsequent episodes revolves around wacky sperm-seeking hijinks, pregnancy, and motherhood. The stereotype is tweaked a little bit, though, as it is clear that Dana really isn't all that into the whole "motherhood" thing.
