A lesbian couple's hierarchy of hubris apparently put Hamas ahead of their own desire to have a child with the sperm donor they had vetted on particular “parts” of [his] identity.”
A South African-born, Australian-raised gay Jewish sperm donor may read like the results of an elaborate Mad Libs, but it accurately described 37-year-old Jay Lazarus. Of all his descriptors, there was only one that had made donors previously willing to sever ties and had him assert that “anti-Semitism is not just a relic of the past, but a living, breathing prejudice that continues today”.
Earlier in the week, Lazarus took to social media to share his story of how in October 2022 he had decided to become a sperm donor for same-sex couples without expecting anything in return. In the process, he described that he did. “connected deeply with a Queensland couple” and had “committed to helping them achieve their dream”.
In Australia, the “intense” process required months of testing, both medical and emotional, along with the requirement to maintain optimal health. In September 2023, he was authorized to give to the couple who months later ended their relationship, specifically citing the war with Hamas.
Lazarus included screenshots of the text message the lesbian couple had sent him since Dec. 9 in which they wrote: “We're down a rabbit hole with the depth of our emotions and ethical challenges. And the truth is that we feel out of our depth going forward.”
Speaking to the New York Post, the Perth-based hairdresser detailed how by joining the Facebook group to advance same-sex couples' family goals he had prepared to take on an “uncle” role or have zero contact with the child, whatever the couple's preference . He certainly hadn't expected there to be a problem with his faith that they had known from the beginning.
The couple had said they were “deeply affected by world events at the moment, especially the war between Israel and Gaza”, adding: “We don't have the ability to navigate parts of your identity in this donor relationship. so we're ending it now.”
“… this couple chose to go back to square one with the sperm donor process rather than accept my Jewish sperm,” Lazarus commented on social media.
Whether they had rejected their inheritance or the challenges their son might face sharing his lineage, the couple empathized with the donor, saying, “We can't even begin to imagine what you're going through with your inheritance and deeply held beliefs. We are very sorry for all that is going on.”
She went on to tell the Post that she's only had “supportive comments” after deliberating about sharing her story, despite not commenting on the post itself, and that the couple had since messaged her, but he delayed the reading believing that he might get angry. him while celebrating a friend's wedding over the weekend.
Ultimately, he asserted, “Prejudice remains persuasive, even in progressive circles that advocate 'kindness and love.' We live in an age with disturbing echoes of the ideologies of racial purity that fueled the Holocaust, a free Jewish lineage. Anti-Semitism is not just a relic of the past, but a living, breathing prejudice that continues today.”
“I'm proud to be gay, proud to be Jewish and proud to fight against hate,” Lazarus added.
