I started this blog 17 years ago today as a resource for lesbian moms and other queer parents, and I remain forever grateful to all of you for reading my posts and interacting with both the site and me. A lot has changed in 17 years, however.
I’m honored that Mombian has once again been nominated for a GLAAD Media Award as “Outstanding Blog.” I won the award 10 years ago now (how time does fly!), and am humbled to be in the company of the other blogs nominated this year. I’m also thrilled to see so many great nominees in the “Children’s Programming” and “Kids & Family Programming” categories.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Posting will be light here for a bit while I make merry with my multi-faith family (though next week I will post the second part of my year-end interview with leading LGBTQ family advocates, in which they share what they see ahead for 2022). I’ll also keep up the fun on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please join me!
Summer is upon us, so as usual, I’m going to scale back posting frequency a bit (but not entirely!) through August in order to spend more time with my family and work on a few behind-the-scenes projects. I’ll still post a couple of times a week and be on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, so I won’t disappear completely. I hope you and your families are enjoying the summer, too.
Mombian is 16 today! A special Sweet 16 thanks to all of you who have read, commented, shared, and otherwise engaged with this site, other readers, and me over the years.
I am thrilled to reveal a project I’ve been working on for months (and in some ways, years): the Mombian Database of LGBTQ Family Books, Media, and More: over 500 books, music albums, movies, games, and toys for and about LGBTQ families. This is not just a booklist: you can search and filter by categories, tags, and more. Want board books with queer dads? Picture books starring Black transgender girls? Memoirs by queer moms about adoption? You can find them, among many other combinations!
Summer is upon us. I’m going to scale back posting frequency a bit (but not entirely!) through August in order to spend more time with my family and work on a few behind-the-scenes projects. I’ll still post a couple of times a week and be on social media. I hope you and your families are able to enjoy something of the summer, too, even in these trying times.
Mombian is 15 years old! Many, many thanks to all of you who have read, commented, and shared your stories with me over the years.
Pride Month is over, my son’s out of school, and summer vacation is upon us. I’m going to scale back posting frequency a bit (but not entirely!) through August in order to recharge and spend more time with my family—but I’ll still post a couple of times a week and be on social media.
Mombian is 14 today! A great big thank you to everyone who’s read, shared, commented, e-mailed, and otherwise engaged with the site, other readers, and me!
