Book Dads — a website for “fathers that read” — has published a review of Families Like Mine.
Here’s an excerpt:
Garner also discusses other issues that are not immediately obvious, such as the differing experiences of growing up gay (“Second Generation”) or straight (“Culturally Queer, Erotically Straight’) in a GLBT family, and what that means [...]
I’ve created a group to help spread awareness about my book as a resource for the Facebook generation.
All are welcome to join.
Here is the link.
Don’t get me wrong, I adore Melissa Etheridge, and I am glad that she is “allowed” to perform on the property of a Catholic College — even though she dares to live a life out loud with her partner and their children.
Still, the latest local effort for the Catholic Church to distance itself [...]
Gracias a Julieta por hacer los subtítulos para una entrevista que hice el año pasado con HRC sobre mi libro, “Familias Como la Mía: Hijos de Padres Gay La Cuentan Como Es.”

HRC has posted Ellen Kahn’s interview with me up on YouTube.
This interview was conducted on April 27, 2007 during my trip to Washington DC to keynote at the conference for Rainbow Families DC.

She asked just the right questions to get to deeper issues that mainstream media dismiss as “too complicated” for their reporting while they fixate on “what it’s like having two dads.”
Our conversation was a number of months ago, so it was [...]
