I am assuming that most people wouldn't do that if they believed they were going to die in the next year or so. I could be wrong. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10300569/Britains-gay-dads-set-welcome-triplets-spending-1-million-IVF.html Well one would hope Tony Drewitt Barlow is going to be around for a while yet as apparently he his ex Barrie and Barries new partner are apparently set to become parents to triplets and raise them as a throuple. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 29, 2022 Kris Irvin was a quirky queer Latter-day Saint (Mormon) with an incomparable Twitter presence, a member who challenged the faith to be more accepting and showed up at church every Sunday wearing a bowtie in the colors of the transgender flag and a lapel covered with rainbow pins. ‘Irvin shared those experiences with nearly 7,000 followers on Twitter, under the handle @krisis86, where they became an unintentional community icon.’ Irvin died Sunday, Jan. 23, from causes unspecified by family.
