Gay Men and Surrogacy: Navigatg Boundari the Procreative Realm - This submted partial fulfilment for the award of Doctor of Philosophy by Wendy Jane Norton, De Montfort Universy July 2018. Gay men have specifilly been reprented as unterted children and parentg, yet an creasgly number of same-sex male upl are explorg the possibily of surrogacy as a means of creatg a fay.

SURROGACY AS A GAY DAD

Data were llected g semi-stctured terviews wh 21 gay men and 15 key stakeholrs and analysed g thematic analysis rmed by theoretil ncepts of procreative nscns and procreative rponsibily (Marsigl, 1991), micro-aggrsns (Sue, 2010), and Cril Kship Studi (Krolokke et al, 2016; Riggs & Peel, 2016). This this argu that gay men’s motivatn to parent and their experienc of surrogacy are shaped by the changg landspe of social, legal and technologil possibili wh a society that privileg heterosexual parentg.

This study prents the origal ncept of procreative boundari to exame the broar multi-layered stctural parameters wh which gay men are able to realise their procreative nscns and enact procreative rponsibily orr to achieve parenthood and be regnised as legimate parents.
