Mombian Has a Fresh New Look
It’s the start of a new school year, so Mombian is making a fresh start with a new style! Come and have a look around.Â

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!) for a couple of months in order to recharge and spend more time with my family.
Thirteen years ago, I launched this blog and started writing, hoping to help fill the gap in news and information that sat at the intersection of LGBTQ identity and parenting. Just as parents of newborns have no idea what their children will be like in their teens, I had no idea how the blog would evolve or where it would take me.
One of the perils of parenting is that when my son gets sick, it’s like a train heading down the tracks towards me. I take care of him as best I can (although at 14, he’s pretty self-sufficient) until the train overtakes me. Now I’m down with the same flu-ish fever/cold/sore throat thing he’s had—during February vacation week, no less. (And yes, we had our shots.) Posting will therefore be light for a few days, although I may find the energy to share some stuff on Facebook and Twitter. Please join me—I’m not contagious there!
Happy holidays and best wishes for the new year! Posting will be light on the blog for the next week or so while I make merry with my family (though there might be a post or two), but I’ll keep up the fun on Facebook and Twitter. Pleas

The Mombian blog is 12 years old today!
Thanks to all of you who have read, commented, and shared over the years!
I’m flattered. Someone submitted Mombian for a GLAAD Media Award, and it’s been nominated. I won the Award for “Outstanding Blog” in 2012 (sharing the honor with Towleroad), and didn’t expect to be nominated again.
What better place to be the week of the Inauguration than among 4000 or so queer folks? That’s why I’m extra excited to be heading off this week to the National LGBTQ Task Force’s Creating Change conference in Philadelphia. If you’ll be there, too, please leave a comment!
