Traditionally, the push present is a gift new fathers bestow upon the woman who has successfully completed the delivery of “his” child. Technically this refers to vaginal births although push presents are also rewarded to women who have endured caesarean sections.

Today, push presents can go to anyone with the pain tolerance and fortitude to knock out a baby – whether they’re straight or gay. Gay men should definitely get something nice for their surrogate. But whether or not the partner of a lesbian should expect one depends on the couple’s complex relationship dynamics. Review the chart below to see if you need to go shopping or start dropping hints about what you expect when the big day comes.

Gays becoming parents really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Gay people, after all, are the product of straight people. It’s the twenty-first century, and by now we realize that virtually everything we do, everything we say, and everything that happens to us is in someway related to genes—even if the genes in questions haven’t been identified and tagged quite yet. Someday, in human genome laboratories, scientists will confirm what common sense already tells us: Gay people have some straight genes. That is to say, gays have inner straightness. Even the “gayest” person you can think of has straight genes. (By the same token, even white supremacists, evangelical Christians, army generals, Hell’s Angels, Pennsylvania Dutch dairy farmers, and Catholic bishops have gay genes—okay that last one is no surprise.)
