So our waiter just happened to be a very obviously gay man and were talking to him about how he and his partner just spent 30 grand on a surrogate because they really want kids. My partner's mum was shocked at that as she had never considered the fact that gay people that want kids have to work really hard and pay for that opportunity that most people take for granted. I was hoping this would spark a conversation about the other things that this kind of people take for granted. However  after that she had two more drinks and lost her damn mind.
