This week in our video blog, Helen and I rant about “Evil Lesbian Moms,” bemoan the Cashmere Mafia’s tired storyline about sperm-seekin’ lesbians, and tell you why in fact a show about two straight, philandering, male plastic surgeons—Nip/Tuck—has some of the most intriguing portrayals of lesbian parents on television. On a brighter note, we recommend a children’s book series described as a cross between “Hello Kitty” and “Star Trek.” It’s sure to please young ones, but may also appeal to adults with an interest in graphic design and breaking gender stereotypes. Our four-year-old even offers a guest opinion! Plus gender-indeterminate penguins, lesbian-mom trivia, and wild unsubstantiated speculation about Leisha Hailey!
