I agree and love this take (great answer to Peter’s fave question btw) but why older men? Shouldn’t this apply to both men and women? If I had to do it again, I would have had kids at 18 or 22.

Haven't seen a lot of evidence that SF has *that* many more LGBT folks than other major metro areas. Considering that those figures include bi people in m/f relationships & that women of any orientation can pretty easily have children, I wouldn't expect a super strong effect
