I’ve written a lot this week, so I’m going to give you and me a chance to catch up, with a recap of posts and a sneak peek image from next Monday’s episode of The Fosters.
First, the links:
- Lesléa Newman’s Journey Through her Mother’s Cancer. The author of Heather Has Two Mommies published a book of poetry about her journey through her mother’s cancer diagnosis and death from the disease—just weeks before my own mother was diagnosed.
- Is Queer-Inclusive Similac Ad Still Exclusive? The new ad from Similac features two-mom and two-dad couples, and makes fun of the “mommy wars”—but does it still have a limited perspective?
- New Portal for Research on Lesbian and Gay Parenting. Over 70 peer-reviewed papers over 35 years say children fare no worse with same-sex parents.
- What Do Kids Call their Same-Sex Parents? My unscientific but definitely fun collection of readers’ parental names, gathered over several years. Add yours!
Now, the photo from this Monday’s The Fosters episode, wherein the Adams Fosters go camping. I’m eager to see whether putting up a tent is as much of a relationship-building exercise for Stef and Lena as it used to be for my spouse and me. (We survived, and we’re heading towards our 22nd anniversary, so something must have worked!)
Have a good weekend, all!
