Comments on: Gay Dad: “Relieved, hopeful, and thankful” http://damnstraight.oversampled.net/2007/07/12/gay-dad-relieved-hopeful-and-thankful/ Culturally Queer News and Views from Abigail Garner Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:08:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Lenore http://damnstraight.oversampled.net/2007/07/12/gay-dad-relieved-hopeful-and-thankful/#comment-4625 Lenore Thu, 12 Jul 2007 17:33:04 +0000 http://damnstraight.oversampled.net/2007/07/12/gay-dad-relieved-hopeful-and-thankful/#comment-4625 This response emphasizes the importance of the definitive work that you have done in the past years, Abigail. The messages in Families Like Mine will always be new to someone. I agree with you, that it is important to have many spokespersons for queeer spawn. But the careful observations and documentations of the lives of queer spawn that you have reported and discussed in many arenas will continue to reverberate for years to come. <p></p> I encourage folks to take your book, Families Like Mine, off the shelf and really read it. The truths in it will not hurt, but encourage and give courage. It is a resource for framing the rewarding and challenging journey of LGBT parenting. <p></p> Best wishes!
