Gays in Israel who want to have children via surrogacy now have an ally in their government, who announced their plans to legalize surrogacy for same-sex couples.
Just be sure you read this first, guys.
In Israel, surrogacy is only legal for married couples, and since gay marriage is not legal in Israel, same-sex couples were shut out.
They also face discrimination and challenges when trying to adopt locally.
How about we take this to the next level?

“Someone in Israel decided to be stricter than any other country,” said gay politician Nitzan Horowitz to The Jerusalem Post. “What’s good enough for other civilized countries should be good enough for Israel.”
Unfortunately, Israel doesn’t seem to be legalizing gay marriage anytime soon, but hopefully legalizing surrogacy in a nod to their gay citizens is a step in the right direction.

To clarify – it has long been legal, but until now it was a hassle. The non-biological parent had to go through a cumbersome adoption process to obtain legal rights/custody. The process took a couple of years to completion.
With this ruling, the non-biological parent automatically becomes a parent too.

Gay marriages in Israel are recognized if they are foreign. So a gay couple can go to a country where it is legal, get married, and come back and be recognized as married. It’s an idiotic holdover that all marriages have to go through some religious thing.
