A bit. Liberals need to fight harder for issues like subsidizing surrogate mothers for gay couples and allowing same-sex couples to adopt children.

Government paying mothers to give their children to someone else is a perfect example of neglecting the importance of family.   Privileging funding for child care outside the home over supporting parents in caring for children at home is a less extreme example of this.

Creating families is a perfect example of neglecting the importance of family?

Monetizing parenthood into a commercial exchange can be an example of neglecting it's importance, yes, just as prostitution neglects the true importance of sexuality.

I'm of the opinion that gay couples should be able to create their own families, and they should also have a right for a biological family. So yeah, while we should regulate this business to make sure there's no exploitation, we need to help gay couples if they want to establishb a family. Right now, it's a privilege for rich couples.

Rich couples, gay or straight, should not be allowed to buy children out of some unfortunate woman's womb either. You cannot regulate that which is inherently exploitive into not being so.

This is the first time that I've ever heard someone claim a "right to a biological family." The idea perplexes me.

What's with this idea that women could never be okay with having a baby for others who can't have one themselves?

Sure, they might.  But keep out the pressure placed on them to do so by contracts or getting paid to do it.
