A few things from round and about: Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly dishes with guest Marc Rudov about how R Family cruises are “mainstreaming” the “homosexual lifestyle.” Rudov makes a charming comparison between being gay and brain tumors: You know, just this week a report came out that said using cell phones is more dangerous than […]
Out magazine just published their second annual list of “The Power 50: The Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America,” which means it’s time for my second annual list of The Most Powerful Lesbian Moms in America. The definition of “power” is subjective, of course. For the purposes of this list, I considered it
HRC is celebrating tax season with their “7 Days to a Better Financial You” campaign, and kicks it off with the video of two lesbian moms talking about the financial difficulties of raising children under the unfair burdens faced by same-sex couples. HRC hits the high points here, but doesn’t discuss the fact that it
The NCAA Women’s Final Four is upon us, and it seems relevant to revisit a Washington Post story from 2003 about women’s college coaches who try to sway potential recruits away from a competitor’s school by implying that the other team’s coach is a lesbian.

This week, I’m pleased to brings you a special interview with Sarah Brannen, author and illustrator of the new LGBT-inclusive children’s book Uncle Bobby’s Wedding. (Helen is taking a break from vlogging this week, though she’s busy with her real job, advancing the frontiers of technology.) Brannen discusses the process of creating the book, shows
Lesbian mom Mary Cheney has joined the Board of Directors of the Richard B. and Lynne V. Cheney Cardiovascular Institute. I’m guessing it wasn’t a rigorous interview process. The press release says “As a director, she will help to form the strategic direction for the Institute.” This is in addition to her work as Vice
When Rep. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin went with a congressional delegation to Europe, she brought along her spouse, as did other members of Congress. Or at least she wanted to. The Pentagon at first said her spouse, Lauren Azar, who had exchanged vows with Baldwin in 1998, could not take the flight. Speaker of the
It’s almost that time of year again, so mark your calendars now. The third annual Blogging for LGBT Families Day is coming up on Monday, June 2. (Yes, I’ve held it on the 1st in previous years, but it seemed best not to do it on a Sunday, a low-traffic day in the blogosphere.) Last
