252: Gay parenting, and Jordan Peterson's interview with Dave Rubin
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
The boys drink and review two awful beers from Heavy Seas, then discuss gay parenting in general, with a particular emphasis on the recent discussion on the topic between Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin. Jordan Peterson regularly encourages people to take on more responsibility in their lives, including getting married and having children. Dr. Peterson's lectures had an impact on Dave Rubin, a gay man, who wondered, "what about me? How do I fit in?" Peterson and Rubin talk about all the adjustments Rubin had to make to try to make this apply to his life with his gay partner. Does it even work? Can all the normal paths and expectations in heterosexual relationships and marriage simply transfer over to a gay relationship? If meaning and purpose in life are so closely tied to marriage and children, how does this work for homosexuals? And should it? Is it right to subject children to this experiment so that gay parents can feel self-actualized?
