NBC’s Today Show ran a piece Monday featuring an eleven-year-old boy with two dads. It’s one of few mainstream stories in which we hear the perspective of the child him- or herself. It’s also exceptional in that it shows a divorced family; Henry’s dads broke up after they adopted him. Henry is doing well, however, and is described as “wise beyond his years.”
This is progress, it seems. Not only do children thrive with LGBT parents, but they also can flourish (though not without some difficulties) when the parents do what parents of all orientations sometimes do, and divorce. The Today Show titled the piece “Boy’s Unconventional Family,” but it seems to me there’s a whole lot of convention showing.
