when clearly the child was conceived in a heterosexual relationship, the rights and protections of which the gay parent has subsequently chosen to forfeit through his/her decision to parent the child with the help of another gay person. The child's lack of benefits is a result of the fact that the gay parent places a lower priority on the child than he/she places on his/her personal relationship.
Too presumptive. A child is conceived by the union of two people of opposite sexes. That infers nothing about the couple's orientation. And how you arrived at the conclusion that a gay parent places a lower priority on the child than on their own life is beyond me. It almost sounds like you have a particular relationship in mind, which you have generalized beyond reason.
