We can't debate whether it's evil for gay men to unnaturally create children and bring them into an unnatural household, all via the exploitation of poor women

We'll just debate whether it's wrong that gay men have to pay out of pocket for it
We can absolutely discuss it. The problem is that "evil" is a subjective concept, and ITT we are discussing objective concepts of "the law."

If we, as a society, want to give homosexuals fewer legal rights than heterosexuals, we need only revise the 14th Amendment. I don't see a big groundswell for such an Amendment, though.

I must have missed that part of the Bill of Rights where all people have a right to a family/children

Are we? The OP is just a blurb whining about the disparity, and while it no doubt rests on some legal/contractual issues, you brought up the policy terms specifically.

But sure, in lieu of a constitutional change I'm in favor of any and all roadblocks that can practically be erected here. Including consideration of changes that would impact heterosexual couples too (like very severe limits on surrogacy).

There’s no legal system without a concept of objective evil.

The law dictates right from wrong.

Who wants to give them lesser rights?

What rights do they not have?
