While surrogacy is illegal if done in Italy, having a child with the help of a surrogate mother in the U.S. is becoming more popular among Italian gay men. Circle Surrogacy hosted an informational seminar last Fall - about parenting options through surrogacy in the U.S. for Italian and Swiss residents.

Daniel Radcliffe's voice will be heard in a public service announcement in support of The Trevor Project - a youth suicide prevention group supporting gay teens.

Dawn - a surrogate mother in the United States - delivered twins for an Israeli gay couple. She recently visited the family along with her husband. The reunion was featured on Israeli TV in a story about gay men who increasingly turn to U.S. surrogacy in their quest for parenthood. Also featured in the news clip are the Israeli couple, Circle Surrogacy's president - John Weltman - and the agency's Israeli liaison.

Comedian, actress, and writer - Sarah Silverman - is forceful and blunt when she talks about marriage equality.

On a recent airing of "The View", Sarah said:

"I cannot imagine wanting to get married at this time in America. If you're for equal rights, why would you want to get married? It's like joining a country club that doesn't allow Blacks or Jews. There's no difference."

Silverman was dating talk show host Jimmy Kimmel for some time, and now she's seeing "Family Guy" writer and producer - Alec Sulkin.

While making little sense at all, the head of a New York-based think tank testified that marriage equality helps children, but weakens the meaning of marriage.

The AP reports:

Florida community leader - Cathy James - is beaming with pride for her 9-year old son, Tyler.

He spoke at the Hillsborough County Legislative Delegation hearing on behalf of Securing Our Children's Rights, Inc. (SOCR), a statewide political lobbying group working to repeal the ban on adoption by gay Floridians.

The Florida State House and Senate members in attendance were Senators Crist, Joyner, and Storms and Representatives Ambler, Burgin, Glorioso, Homan, McKeel, Reed, Rouson, and Weatherford.

Belinda Carlisle has posted a video to her gay son James Duke Mason's YouTube account - asking people to donate to the Protect Maine Equality campaign.
