Britney spears

Do you ever imagine how your life might have been different had you been born into different circumstances? Imagine for a moment that Britney Spears had not been born the daughter of Lynne and Jamie Spears. Instead, she’d been the child of two gay moms or dads who conceived her with the help of high-tech reproductive technologies rarely employed in rural Mississippi where vodka tonics and Budweisers on a Saturday night are more typical precursors to pregnancy.

Would Britney’s life trajectory have been any different? Would she have been a “better” person? Would she have learned to wear underwear? Would she have lost custody of her children? Who knows. There’s plenty of evidence that addictive, self-destructive personalities are born, not made. But it’s fun to conjecture, so let’s look at some Britney milestones and how they might have played out differently had she been a Child of Gays.
