How is it determined who will take another last name?
It's a decision made between the couple. Men can also take their wives' last names. Neither party needs to take anyone else's name. Where the fuck do you live?

Never seen a straight family where the husband took the wife's last name.Choice. Just like in straight families today.
They don't but they do. It seems like the more successful of the two individuals is usually the surname chosen.It's a decision made between the couple. Men can also take their wives' last names. Neither party needs to take anyone else's name. Where the fuck do you live?

It's not common but totally OK.
Really common today is nobody changing names.
He would have no way of knowing that. If one of the Buttigieges is customarily the bottom, does that make him a "wife" and not a "husband"? What if they're both versatile and split up the penetration about 50/50?
Most importantly, why in the actual fuck do "certain kinds of men" get so hung up on what gay couples do? Don't answer. That was rhetorical. We all know the answer.
"Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we’re becoming parents. We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family."

Congratulations to the growing family! Mayor Pete is a political hero of mine, but this personal accomplishment makes me happy for reasons that have nothing to do with politics. To all hopeful adoptive parents of all stripes, never give up! The process is insanely complicated and frustrating, but if you're committed, you'll make it.
Let's have a discussion about the sexual fetishes of all the straight guys here. LOL. Somehow they are more concerned with your proclivity than with mine. You're right, we all know the answer. When the only position you know is missionary and sex lasts for two minutes... well, you get my drift. I have stories that could turn your hair white![]()

That's the cutest pic. How wonderful. They're going to be great parents.
So happy for the parents and the babies! A functional family is hard to find.
But *two* infants and only two parents? Those guys are gonna be so exhausted.
A hippie community would help a lot.
I have observed same sex couples where the more successful person is the chosen name. Maybe it is a coincidence, maybe not.We didn't expect anything less from you. The shared last name is usually the man's in a heterosexual marriage, but that doesn't have anything to do with the relative "success" of the partners. Do you have a female partner? Does she share your last name? Has she read what you typed?
