The Journal Inquirer in North Central Connecticut published a profile on Rebecca Lazarus, a 13-year-old who continues to find opportunities to advocate on behalf of her family and other children who have two moms or two dads.
Excerpt:
Because Lazarus, who is her biological father, and Charette [her father’s partner] aren’t legally married, if something were to […]
Since writing Families Like Mine, I have been occasionally schooled by individuals who point out that I did not coin the phrase “queerspawn.” I can’t argue with them: I did not, nor have I ever claimed that I did.
The person who did come up with it is Stefan Lynch. I say so in Families […]

San Francisco Chronicle has a good article about diversity within LGBT families, as well as a reminder that even in “accepting” cities and states, these families still face discrimination and prejudice. One family profiled in the article clearly illustrates the impact of inequality:

Read the article:
I’m not gay, but my […]
I am the first to call out hypocrisy when it comes to our families being treated by a double standard. But today I am actually defending the Cheneys.
Dick Cheney’s sixth grandchild was born last week to lesbian mothers, and the White House released a photo of little Samuel David Cheney with his grandmother and […]
The head of a group supporting LGBT equality at Middlebury College is queerspawn. In a recent op-ed in the campus newspaper, she writes about the impact of recent anti-gay graffiti at the school, and how harassing hate speech specific to sexual orientation should not be trivialized with the justification that it is simply “free […]
