How a shortage of Black sperm donors hurts lesbian and queer families
There's a shortage of Black sperm donors and this especially hurts Black lesbian and queer couples. Black sperm makes up between 3% and 5% of what’s available at cryobanks. This comes as the majority of cryobank customers are lesbian or queer. This shortage causes some people to look for sperm elsewhere, including Facebook. In this episode, we learn why this shortage is so severe, the legal issues that may arise when using a sperm donor on social media, and why so few Black men donate sperm.
