While Thomas Beatie, the trans man who just delivered baby number three, might wonder and amaze, it’s this pair of Aussie lesbians who’ve caught my eye: they’re having quintuplets.
Melissa Keevers, 27, and Rosemary Nolan, 21 — who met in 2008 when Rosemary left Ireland to bum around Australia — will be celebrating the birth of their five children around Christmas time. The twosome, who chose “a 27-year-old dark-haired law student with good teeth and eyesight and a high IQ” as their donor, say they didn’t use any treatment to increase Melissa’s fertility. (They have another daughter, 1-year-old Lilly, born to Melissa and from the same donor sperm.)
Congrats, ladies. Or should I say: Good luck!

Im sure Jason will be here soon to talk about how homophobic and backward Australia is, ragrdless of the fact that a nice lesbian couple made the front page on the nation’s best selling women’s magazine.
