They didn't rule out Goyim from the get-go, they lowered it down to men with similar backgrounds after sorting though other criteria first. what should they have done, pick the name from a hat? is that PC enough?

Straight people don't know how lucky they are. They get to kill two birds with one stone. By the time they have a child (yes, even if it wasn't planned), they already know who it will be with. Whether its with your spouse or a one night stand, they still get to choose. Gay couples aren't so lucky. We don't have the luxury of passing down our winning personalities and fetching good looks so it seems only fair that we get to shop around a little bit.

My girlfriend and I want kids. Neither of us are too keen on childbirth, but if we had to chose a sperm donor, he would inevitably be different from at least one of us since we're from completely different backgrounds. And if we adopt, our kid probably wouldn't be like EITHER of us, assuming we even knew the details of his/her roots. So our children will have to learn our traditions and our histories no matter how we make our family. But enough about me...

Who cares if they were seeking a Jewish donor? The bottom line is, they are one big, happy, Jewish family, even if they used Gentile sperm to make it.
