“I don’t see my friends that have kids very often. Interestingly enough, none of my close female friends have kids. We’re all in our mid-thirties. It’s honestly kind of nice. We go on trips together, see each other often, have stayed close.”

— age thirty-four, newly married

“I want to talk about getting divorced when you have no children. I was married for ten years, and when I got divorced, I felt like people just thought, ‘Oh well, they’ll just move on. No real attachments.’ So wrong. While I didn’t have children to have to worry about, I still had myself. It was just as hard. In fact, I sometimes wonder if having kids doesn’t make it more likely that you’ll develop a good relationship with your ex. You have to figure out a way to communicate.”

— age seventy-three, divorced

“I thought that dykes got a total pass on this mother stuff. Now there’s a pressure for queers to have kids, too?”

— age fifty-one, married
