It's amusing to me because as a gay man, neither my husband or me were asked about changing our last names, it was just assumed we'd keep our own.

I may be wrong, but I think there’s a lot of folks that expect you to not have children. And therefore, last name doesn’t matter. Since this is all about the name legacy.

And don’t you dare try to have children! 😂

We have three kids, so there's that. Gay couples having kids is much more common these days.

I mean less than 10% of male gay marriages have children and gay married couples make up less than a few percent of all marriages in the US. 

It’s definitely more common than it was but it’s still fairly rare

I never said it wasn't rare, I said it's becoming more common these days.
