Unsettling viral footage shows a newborn boy start crying when his gay surrogate father informs him there’s “no mama” after the baby uttered “mama”.
In the video posted last week by singer/songwriter Shane McAnally (yes, that’s his real name), a gay dad plays with a six-week-old on a couch asking the infant, “Who do you want? Dada or pop?”
The infant playfully mutters, “Mama,” as a man off-camera filming laughs at the baby’s response.
“No mama,” the man holding the baby tells him.
He tries again, “Do you want Dada or Pop?” to which the baby again attempts to respond, “Mama,” before being stopped prematurely.
“No way, Jose,” the gay dad tells the surrogate son, adding, “There is no mama,” at which point the baby to break into tears.
In another video posted to Instagram by McAnally where a caption dubbed the infant a “homophobic baby,” the same infant made a confused facial expression when he’s told he has two dads.
In another video posted to Instagram by McAnally, captioned, “six-week homophobic baby,” the same infant made a confused facial expression when he’s told he has two dads.
The disconcerting footage sparked fierce backlash on social media, with many characterizing treatment of the baby as “cruel,” and his upbringing in the two-dad, no-mom household an abomination that defies the very laws of nature.
“There is something so deeply sinister about this,” commented pro-woman activist Riley Gaines.
Other commenters expressed similar disgust with the baby’s unfortunate situation.
This actually made me cry. On a deep, visceral level, their laughter is sick.

When advocating for gay rights I never, ever heard anyone factor in the needs and rights of children- only the desires of adults.
A few years ago, a video like this probably wouldn't of bothered me.

After having a baby of my own, these videos now ignite something very primal within me.
Babies need their mothers.
If that makes me sexist or homophobic, so be it.
This is one of the most heartbreaking and absolutely disgusting things I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot 😳

It's called perversion. It's part of the devil's playbook. Take something good, true, and beautiful; then twist into a sick unholy thing and pretend that it's authenticity good, true, and beautiful.

If there was any doubt in my mind that surrogacy for gays was wrong it's gone now.

Gay, straight, I don’t care.

Ban ALL surrogacy.
It should never be legal to plan in advance, before a child is even created, to intentionally separate them from their mother.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, McAnally said he was “shocked” by the internet’s reaction and said he shared the clip to be “self-deprecating,” adding, “We found it hilarious,” and that “He’s five months old, he obviously doesn’t understand English.”
‘I was appalled by what some people have been saying,’ he said. ‘Some people have taken it out of context.’
The songwriter added that he considers himself ‘quite conservative’ politically and was ‘mostly confused’ by the way some critics got so upset.
‘Babies usually say dada first, but people wouldn’t then say the babies are only wanting their dads? It doesn’t really make sense,’ he said.
‘People have been saying some awful things… He’s the happiest baby in the world.’
