It's not unusual to see a same-sex couple with a child. This arrangement can happen in many ways: children informally looked after by two [[Heterosexual Life Partners|same-sex platonic friends]], adopted children looked after by their parent's same-sex roommate, adopted kids of an actual same-sex couple, natural children of one (usually divorced) partner who view the other same-sex partner as a parent, etc...

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Fletch and {{spoiler|Arata}} have a daughter with a little help from "ground breaking science" near the end of ''[[Iono the Fanatics]]''.
Line 26 ⟶ 24:
* Arguably occurred in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' with {{spoiler|Rei, who was made up of a combination of [[Half-Human Hybrid|Yui Ikari and Lilith's]] DNA. It's debatable whether Angels, including Lilith, have a physical sex, though.}}
** {{spoiler|Considering what the Sixteenth Angel was apparently trying to do with Rei, and the various ways some of the others...interact with other organic objects, including the Evas, I'll say it's definitely not due to a lack of trying.}}
* Reinforce Zwei of the ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' franchise was born in this manner due to the unusual circumstances behind her creation. As revealed in the [[Audio Adaptation|third Sound Stage]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
** Events of ''StrikerS'', {{spoiler|first four Numbers have Jail's DNA, with Uno being a feminized clone}} suggest that their society has the tech to do this for ordinary people, though it may not be commercialized yet.
* ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' definitely has the tech to do this, though we haven't seen any characters with odd parentage.
* This trope makes up a large part of the plot of the ''Sex Pistols'' manga.
* Hilariously [[Defied Trope|defied]] in ''[[Nagasarete Airantou]]''. [[Psycho Lesbian|Mikoto]] wants to have a kid as a present for her mother's birthday, and her choice of partner is [[Even the Girls Want Her|Rin]]. Rin's answer?

* A patient in ''[[Franken Fran]]'' was infected with a protozoan with her (female) best friend's DNA. Fran managed to use that DNA as the 'sperm' to the patient's egg to create a child.
* Kano from ''[[Texhnolyze]]'' is stated to have ''three'' mothers, though the exact mechanics are left unexplained. He did also have a father or several, [[Incest Is Relative|who were also sons of these mothers]]. The Class is obsessed with selective inbreeding and genetic engineering to defeat the perceived defects that caused them to be imprisoned underground in the first place, but they get all the physical and mental deformities associated with incest along the way.
== Comic Books ==
* According to [[Chris Claremont]], this was the original plan for Nightcrawler of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]''. Mystique and Destiny were supposed to be his birth parents, with Mystique morphing into a man for it to happen. However, it received an [[Executive Veto]] since it was deemed too controversial. Instead, his father is revealed to be the Marvel equivalent of [[Satan]], [[Sarcasm Mode|which is so much less controversial]]. More than one subsequent writer and a decent number of fans have since considered [[Retcon
* [[Superboy]] (Conner Kent, or Kon-El) is the result of mixing [[Superman]]'s DNA with Lex Luthor's. His only daddy was originally Cadmus director Paul Westfield but that didn't have nearly enough sexual tension.
* In Alan Moore's ''[[Tomorrow Stories]]'', it's revealed that the heroine Cobweb and her sidekick/lover Clarice are the daughters of a previous Cobweb and Clarice, having been born as a result of a ritual where their ancestors made love in a certain place which had certain special qualities. This was because their ancestors were, due to an accident, from a [[One-Gender Race]].

Not only does she have two daddies, they are barely in the same ''class''. Well, the [[Foe Yay]] is there in the original, and one of her daddies ''is'' a [[Mad Scientist]]...

* A ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic called [[Fan Fic/Sasuke I Think Im Pregnant|"Sasuke, I think I'm Pregnant."]] The author is Sarah1281. The explanation is that the Kyuubi allowed Naruto to get pregnant anally, which takes just under fifteen minutes to break through Sasuke's wall of cynicism. {{spoiler|The fic was released on, and takes place on, April Fool's Day. Shikamaru made a bet with Naruto that it would take less than fifteen minutes to fool him with this one, which leaves Naruto grumbling that he has to pay up.}}

** And considering the lack of male characters there are several more fics where this happens.
* ''[[Touhou]]'' fandom provides the current page image. Raise your hand if you're surprised... [[Self Fanservice|no, I didn't think so]].
* We could probably have a sub folder just for the [[Kim Possible|Kigo]] examples.
* After his resurrection renders Voldemort sane in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[[Benefits of Old Laws]]'', one of the non-violent means he explores for preserving and increasing the Pureblood Wizarding population is commissioning Snape to develop a potion that allows two men to have a child (with the help of a surrogate mother).
* In the ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' doujinshi ''My Magic is Fortune Telling'', Homura (presumably thinking Madoka is heterosexual) tells Madoka that she will have children with the person she loves. Madoka, who is clearly attracted to [[Oblivious to Love/Fan Works|Homura]], thinks that she is going to have children with Homura, and that such a thing will be possible due to [[Magical Girl]] nonsense.
* Averted and mocked in the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' crossover fic ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5353683/1/The-Girl-Who-Loved The Girl Who Loved]'' by "Darth Drafter", when the Chinese Amazon matriarch Cologne explains how the primary misogynist culture of China would have loved to [[Mister Seahorse|eliminate the need for women even for ''reproduction'']], but was never able to do so, even with the most powerful magic.
== Film ==
* In ''[[Being John Malkovich]]'', Cameron Diaz gets Catherine Keener pregnant. Well, technically John Malkovitch gets Catherine Keener pregnant while Cameron Diaz is metaphysically inside his body, but they seem to count it as Cameron Diaz's kid.
* The closest thing to a realistic example happens in ''[[The Broken Hearts Club]]''. Patrick's lesbian sister Annie asks him to be her partner Leslie's sperm donor; this way the baby would be related to both moms.
== Live Action TV ==
* In the space episode of ''[[News Radio]]'', after Space Matthew accidentally unplugs the life support for the whole station, he and Space Bill McNeil decide they'll need some petri dishes to further the human race.
* In the 2009 Kennedy Center Honors, [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart]] provided this semi-joking theory regarding honoree [[Bruce Springsteen]]:

** Also from [[Norse Mythology]], Heimdal is said to have ''NINE'' mothers.
* In the Welsh ''Mabinogion'', the demi-god brothers Gilfaethwy and Gwydion anger their sorcerer uncle Math, who transforms them into matched sets of animals: a stag and a doe, a boar and a sow, and a wolf and a she-wolf. The brothers mate in their animal forms and produce offspring: Hyddwn (fawn), Hychddwn (piglet), and Bleiddwn (wolf pup). After three years Math transforms his nephews and their children into humans. Must've been an interesting family.

** Two males doesn't work though, presumably because the child inherits the species of the mother.
* The asari from ''[[Mass Effect]]'' look female but are actually a [[One-Gender Race]], and they can conceive a child by a partner of either gender from any other species. Liara is a [[Has Two Mommies|child of two asari]], as is Morinth in the second game. That last one, however, has [[Death
** This is possible for ''all'' species, or at very least humans through genetic engineering. Designer babies are common amongst the rich; in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' you meet a character that was created ''using only a single person's DNA'' (albeit with a lot of genes borrowed from elsewhere). If you can do it with one person, you can do it with two.
* In ''Hitman: Codename 47'', Agent 47 is the result of a cloning experiment that {{spoiler|combined the DNA of ''five'' of the world's deadliest criminals - all men - in an effort to create a "perfect human".}}

* The Japanese fan-art site [[Pixiv]] had an art challenge along these lines: "Let's Make ''[[Touhou]]'' Kids!".

** [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you consider that males have XY chromosome, and it is possible that the chromosomes combine into XX (female). On the other hand, if female homosexual reproduction were to produce male offspring...
* In ''[[Umlaut House]] 2'' Rhonda is the daughter of two men, she even jokes that she "is [[Shakespeare|of no woman born]]". Towards the end of the first series it was stated that there are biotech companies that help homosexual couples reproduce (though one of Rhonda's dads is a [[Mad Scientist]]).

* The trolls in ''[[Homestuck]]'' have genders, but the way [[Bizarre Alien Biology|their reproduction works]] ([[Noodle Implements|it involves buckets and a "mother grub" who takes genetic material and combines it into an "incestuous slurry"]]) means that it's possible for a child to have ''multiple'' parents, including same-gender ones.

One of the more [[Ho Yay]]-filled episodes of the series, with a decent amount of [[Parental Bonus]].
* ''[[Transformers]]'', being a [[One-Gender Race]] with a few rare exceptions, can do this. Two examples would be Sumdac and Megatron making Soundwave in ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' and Ratchet and Wheeljack making the Dinobots in ''[[Transformers Generation
* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]] Adult Party Cartoon''. The aptly titled episode "Stimpy's Pregnant" starts with Stimpy having typical pregnancy symptoms, which he has to explain himself of to Ren. Despite them having a child is biologically impossible, neither complain or question it; Ren even says "You said you'd use protection!". {{spoiler|It is later revealed that it was not, in fact, a child, but Stimpy's

Line 142:
** Although the result doesn't usually thrive, it is possible for one of the 'waste' cells formed during female meiosis, the polar body, to fuse with an egg producing a zygote. If the problems are ever overcome, any two females could produce a child without the need to engineer sperm cells.
** In Australia, the Howard Government enacted pre-emptive legislation that made it illegal to create a viable embryo with anything other than egg ''and'' sperm cells. Though theoretically possible to create a zygote with only female cells, anyone who attempted it would be prosecuted. This was most likely because, thanks to the field of genetic manipulation being very new, the child would be very susceptible to deformities and a higher chance of death in infancy.
** As far as working on making children from two fathers, it's significantly harder, as eggs become the core of an embryo while sperm is little more than genetic information. There are a few ideas, but in practice it's quite a ways away still. Also, YY combinations must be avoided because they don't work, so effectively, the children will be male 2/3 of the time and female 1/3 of the time.
*** That doesn't even get into the fact that there'd need to be a surrogate mother to actually carry the baby, or an artificial womb outside of a body (while there could in theory be male pregnancies, they would be extremely dangerous, and the technology required to make them would be more difficult than a completely artificial womb altogether)
* You could say that [[wikipedia:Dolly
* The Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizard, an all-female species, reproduces strictly through cellular meiosis (no fertilization of eggs required), while ovulation is enhanced by what basically amounts to lizard-lesbianism.
* An experiment was done to see if bi-maternal mice have longer lives by changing some eggs to behave like sperm.
* [http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-12/scientists-create-mice-two-genetic-fathers Mice from two genetic fathers.]
* Similar to the ''[[The Broken Hearts Club]]'' example above, actor BD Wong and his partner had twins using an egg donated by his partner's sister.
