woah you guys are insane...who cares that they are gay?! (would have happened if the if it were two heterosexuals that got his donation and split up)

The point was that the guy should have looked out for himself first. Made sure that he had a written contract that he was just donating. Or maybe thought a tad longer and went through a donation service instead.

and the moral of the story is:

don't do wierd unnatural things like being a sperm donor

Mr Bathie is correct. Even though he is the children's genetic father, the children's PARENTS are the lesbian couple. If anyone must pay child support, it must be one of the lesbian women(the one who walked away from the relationship) to the other(the one with custody of children). Since these women decided to have children, they are the ones responsible for raising them. Atleast that's the standard for heterosexual couples.

I hope men learn from Mr Bathie's unfortunate circumstances and keep their sperm to themselves. Your sperm may cost you part of your salary for 18 years. Fail to pay and you're called a 'deadbeat dad', will be named-and-shamed and could even be in jail.

Christianity does not stand for murder, kidnap and rape. It stands for love. Full stop. The Christians I know are busy living their lives, working and raising their families, not to mention raising money for charities and volunteering their time to help other people. Your hateful words insult some kind and generous people. Don't fret, though. They already forgive you.

what has religion got to do with it?

overgrown self righteous religious cults have no right to give advice about decency when they are responsible for wars, paedophilia and suffering the world over.

Paul, Egremont,

This may be an old fashion view but i believe every child needs a father and a mother,NOT same sex couples it flies in the face of nature,it's just another selfish ideal that our soceity has adopted catering for the minority.
Is it a wonder that we are told morality is on the slippery slope downwards,human rights activists get a grip on reality.

Mike, Lincoln,

These two lesbians are a disgrace in, essentially, refusing to take financial responsibility for the child. Political correctness gone mad, again. Where is the usually strident lesbian lobby on this particular issue?

Richard, Melbourne, Australia

See, women cant even stay together with women.
What chance do us males or in fact children, stand with the "modern" woman?

Pete, St Albans, England

How many poor guys get suckered in like this by one woman, let alone two schemers together??

Poor bloke never stood a chance ....... SUCKER !!!!

Paulie, Northampton,

i personaly have no problem with gay couples but if you enter a gay rtelationship its quite clear that you wont be able to have children together, if you want kids that much give a child without a home one and stop the maddness that is obviously going on here

Apart from the fact that it's just wrong. How is the poor child going to feel knowing about the situation as it gets older? Stop this madness immediately, get you all to church with a gentleman vicar and do what the good Lord intended. It's not right.
