Snl gay couple baby
Saturday Night Live recently aired a sketch where Jon Hamm and Bowen Yang played gay parents who recently took in a neonate as other cast members demanded to know where they got it from.

GLENN: It's amazing.
STU: It's hilarious. It's actually a funny sketch.
GLENN: Very funny. So is this a sketch that is opening up comedy to do things?
Is this a sketch about a gay couple being able to -- the -- how do I say this?
Is this a sketch that shows us that things are altering. And that political correctness is going away.
Or is this a way to mainstream gay couples having a neonate and adopting a baby? That's the argument, that I've read.
STU: Really?
GLENN: And I think it's more of the first. But there are people that are saying, no, no, no, no. No, don't be fooled.
STU: Oh, my God.
GLENN: John Roberts has a plan.
STU: No one has any fun anymore. Can we just laugh at a sketch.
GLENN: I recognize. That's very funny.
STU: Honestly, it m
A recent Saturday Night Live skit involving two gay parents has sparked delight from conservatives on social media, with public figures such as Charlie Kirk and Minnesota Representative Walter Hudson responding to it online.
Why It Matters
While segments on the comedy exhibition can be directed and poke fun at people on all sides of the political spectrum, including Democrats, SNL generally tilts to the left. The illustrate has often been considered to be mocking conservatives, MAGA and people on the right, in sketches that poke fun at President Donald Trump and his supporters, which has long drawn the ire of these groups online.
What To Know
A clip of the sketch was shared on X, formerly Twitter, and has been viewed 2.7 million times so far. It features Jon Hamm and Bowen Yang as gay parents who are asked by Heidi Gardner: "Oh my gosh, who's baby is that?"
An indignant Hamm and Yang respond, "excuse me" and "you are not allowed to talk appreciate that," when asked where the baby had come from. It is then revealed that the night before, the pair had not had the baby.
"People consider they can ask gay people anything, it's not OK," Hamn says in the skit. "What do you want us to say, that
SNL Skit Finally Admits What the Media Won’t Say About Gay Dads
For years, asking questions about queer adoption, surrogacy, or the commodification of children got you labeled a bigot. The script was simple: love is love, families arrive in all forms, stop being so judgmental.
But it appears the rhetoric has worn thin. Now, even SNL, a present that’s rarely been brave in recent years, is giving audiences permission to laugh at the madness.
“You went to a rave called Bulge Dungeon last night,” one friend says during the skit. “And now you have…a baby?”
The gay couple avoids every straightforward question with sarcasm, emotional manipulation, and nonsensical woke language.
“Wait, but, uh…how?” one friend asks. The gay men recoil: “I’m sorry, but gay people can’t have a baby?” The group presses gently: Where did the baby arrive from? Who’s the mother?
The responses spiral from defensive to downright deranged. “Between the two of us, I’m more emotional and I like shopping,” one says. “So, me, I think.” The other adds, “I have long hair, and he’s an alcoholic. So I guess it’s, appreciate, two moms, I guess.”
What unfolds is a takedown of the entire “progressive parenting” myth, a commentary

When it comes to intergenerational fight, you never hear too much about Gen Z having a hard moment with Generation X or the silent generation having beef with the infant boomers. However, there seems to be some difficulty where baby boomers and millennials just can’t receive on the same page.
Maybe it’s because millennials were raised during the technological revolution and have to help their boomer parents log into Netflix, while the grandparents get frustrated when their adult children don't know how to do basic homemaking and maintenance tasks. There’s also a political divide: Millennials are a reliable liberal voting bloc, whereas boomers are the target demographic for Fox News. Both generations also have differing views on parenting, with boomers favoring an official style over the millennials' gentler approach, which leads to a ton of conflict within families.
A Redditor recently asked Xennials, older millennials, and younger Gen Xers born between 1977 and 1983 to distribute some quirks of their boomer parents, and they created a fun list
