Today a blogger known as “gravedigger” posted about his/her family at ProgressiveU:
My parents were divorced when I was 11 and they could not be happier with their lives. They were extremely civil, my parents still work together actually, and they are best friends. Try explaining that one to your friends, your parents divorce but [...]
When I first came across Two World Collision 18 months ago, it was a very different blog than it is today. It was about a Christian man trying to reconcile his same-sex attraction — a man, who it turns out, also had a father who was gay (married and closeted). While our life experiences and [...]

Last year after Blogging for LGBT Families Day, I posted links to a handful of adult “kids” who participated. This year there were noticably more posts from offspring, but I don’t have to pull together a summary, because Mombian has already done so…and quite nicely.

In April I delivered the keynote address at the Rainbow Families conference. It was a fitting coda to the end of my spokesperson tenure, since my journey basically began at the first Rainbow Families Conference in 1995.

Regardless of how you feel about online booksellers, there’s no denying that Amazon.com is where most people first go to research a book when they are considering purchasing it. I believe that reader reviews that are constructive and specific make all [...]
Five-year-old Miguel wrote a song for school about his family, and then sang it again to post on YouTube.
See his mom’s post about it and watch the video.
I dare you to not sing along.
He likes his moms because “they are cool.” He says it twice. I hope his moms carefully guard a copy [...]
Minnesota Public Radio is airing the second episode of the pilot, “How’s the Family?”
Nanci Oleson of MOMbo fame is expanding her radio conversation to all sorts of family dynamics, not just moms raising children.
Nanci interviewed me for a short report about my professional transition for a segment called “Kitchen Table Newscast.”
Tune in at 2pm [...]

All LGBT family members and our allies are encouraged to write a post [...]
I contributed a piece to a just-released anthology, Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys: True tales of love, lust, and friendship between straight women and gay men.
The cover features the names a few contributors, including Andrew Solomon and Cindy Chupack, and then in smaller font, “and others.” I’m “others.”
My piece is called, [...]
